Problem with DialogBar on vb6 MDI

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi,

I just try the commandbar/dialogbar features, but I cannot set the width of the DialogBar. I use the next code:

Set BarraDialogo = CommandBars.AddDialogBar("Hello", xtpBarLeft)
  With BarraDialogo
    .Closeable = False
    .Resizable = True
    .ShowGripper = False
    .EnableAnimation = True
    .ShowCaption = False
    .ChildHandle = Spazio.hWnd
    .Width = 15000
End With

How I Can set the BarraDialogo.width ?

I must refresh the CommandBars ? How ?

Francesco

	I would also like to set the width of the dialog bar at runtime, but am not sure how to do this. I've tried resizing the child before associating it with the dialog bar; I've tried resizing the child after associating it with the dialog bar; I've tried resizing the dialog bar, which seems to have no effect. How should this be done?

	The trick with setting the DialogBar width is to use the SetSize method. Take a look in the documentation. I have no clue why the DialogBar Width property is defined as read-write, as writing to it seems to have no effect. Also, why is the Width property defined and not Height? Some inconsistencies there.
