The lack of documentation makes it difficult to figure out how to create a TOOLBAR with buttons that can show a CAPTION.

Is there any more technical information on these controls?

 

thank you!

This code snippet is from the Office 2003 GUI Sample in the Common group of samples

Dim ToolBar As CommandBar
Dim Control As ICommandBarControl
Set ToolBar = CommandBars.Add("Standard", xtpBarTop)
With ToolBar.Controls
    Set Control = .Add(xtpControlButton, ID_NAVIGATE_BACK, "&Back")
    Control.Style = xtpButtonIconAndCaption
End With

For some reason, the 'Style' property doesn't show up in the VB IDE as a property of the ICommandBarControl, but it is in the documentation.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for pointing this out - This is a perfect example of how you can WAIST time on simple things when there is NO helpfull documentation. I'm still going to browse some more to see how I can move the caption to the buttom of the button...

After I spent some time browsing the "documentation" this is what I found about this STYLE property, is this a joke?

treme CommandBars ActiveX Control module 

Style PropertyDescription
Gets/Sets the style of the control.

Property type
Read-write property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property Style() As XTPButtonStyle

I don't think there is support for placing the caption below the button, but I could be wrong.  Good luck.
