Shortcutbar

Take a look at the Shortcutbar sample in the Common folder.  The ShortcutBar will display two different sized images depending on how the shortcut is displayed.  If the shortcut is grouped individually it will use a 24x24 image. If the shortcut is  grouped together in on the bottom, then they will use a 16x16 image.  You will add 2 ImageList controls to the form.  Name one of them imlShortcutBarIcons and change the height and width to 16, Name the second ImageList imlShortcutBarIconsBig and change the height and width to 24.  You will need to right-click on each ImageList control, select properties, and click on the Images tab and add some images.  The index of the image will be used to associate each image with a shortcut in the ShortcutBar.  The AddItem method of the ShortcutBar control takes three parameters, the first is the Index of the image in the ImageLists.  The code below will illustrate how to add three shortcuts to the ShortcutBar and associate an image to them.

    Dim Item As ShortcutBarItem
    
    Set ItemMail = wndShortcutBar.AddItem(1, "Mail", 0)
    Set Item = wndShortcutBar.AddItem(4, "Tasks", 0)
    Set Item = wndShortcutBar.AddItem(5, "Notes", 0)
   
    wndShortcutBar.AddImageList imlShortcutBarIcons
    wndShortcutBar.AddImageList imlShortcutBarIconsBig

You will need to use the AddImageList method of the ShortcutBar control to add the 2 image lists added to the form.  When specifying two ImageLists, one list must contain 16x16 images, the other must contain 24x24 images.  The ShortcutBar control will automatically use the 16x16 ImageList for images in the shortcut menu grouping at the bottom of the control (red circle).  The ShortcutBar control will then use the 24x24 ImageList for the expanded menu shortcuts (yellow circle).  If only one ImageList is specified, those images will be used as both 16x16 and 24x24 images.  If two ImageLists are loaded and are not 16x16 and 24x24, only the smaller of the two ImageLists will be used for both sets of images.


Let me know if you need more helped.

What is the code you are using?  You are using an ImageList you created yourself?

I would suggest implementing all of the normal ImageList properties. 

Note:  In the next release, you will be able to use the ImageManager control to supply icons to the ShortcutBar.  Just something to keep in mind.

If implementing all the standard properties does not work, maybe post another sample for us to debug.

Does anybody know how can i set up ShortcutBar Popup menu to use a different language?
