How to popup a MiniToolBar on a screen?

Hello Support? 

I've also opened a Support-ticket - but no respose at all...

Thank you! But what I mean is a really "Minitoolbar" (without a caption!) not a popupform!

>> Dim oMyMiniToolbar As MiniToolBar

Hi,

Can I ask what you intend to use the MiniToolBar for?

The reason I ask is that it is specifically designed for Formatting text a user has highlighted.

If this is not what you are what to use it for then it won't work for you as it's desgined to appear when a user has highlighted text to give them required options, which means the users mouse is close by the XY co-cordinates.

If you are looking for different functionality then I believe you may have to stick with the first sample I posted, which is to create a Floating CommandBar ToolBar.

Sorry if I have not helped.

Ah ok,

Well like I said the MiniToolBar is designed to be used for formatting highlighted text. But with a little workaround you can programmtically reposition the Mouse Cursor to any location on screen just before you display the MiniToolBar! Therefore the MiniToolBar should gain focus

Declare Function SetCursorPos Lib "user32" (ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long) As Long ' Add the code below to your event to show the MiniToolBar SetCursorPos 100, 100 oMiniToolbar.PopupMiniToolBar , 1600, 1600

This is why I think the MiniToolBar will not work for you in this instance!

What you need is the floating CommandBar ToolBar instead which is in the first post. If the issue is due to the other post http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17845&title=how-to-setfocus-to-a-combobox

Then why not instead of using the Codejock xtpControlComboBox ComboBox why not use a VB.Combobox and link this into the Toolbar.

Dim custControl As CommandBarControlCustom Set custControl = ToolBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlCustom, ID_TOOLBAR_COMBO, vbNullString) custControl.Handle = cboCombo.hWnd

That way you have access to all the events like SetFocus etc!
