Hi,

The status bar switch pane is proving very useful for my application, so thank you! I have a couple of questions (requests if these options aren't available):

1) Is there a way to disable an individual switch instead of the whole pane? In my app, sometimes a switch will be applicable, and sometimes not. I could just remove the switch when it's not applicable, but I think it would be better to disable it.

2) Is there any way to increase the width of the switches? I would like to be able to use a 16x16 icon but it is too big for the current background image for the switch buttons. Setting an adequate height (via the StatusBar.MinHeight property) is easy, but changing the width of the switch buttons eludes me.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I want to add something to your list of requests.

* It would be nice when xtpThemeRibbon is applied that the switch background would be the same on both sides.

* When a switch is clicked you can not check the switch. I believe this feature has to be implemented to have a "switchbox" that will look like for example MS Word.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Hey Aaron,

Instead of setting a Checked property for an individual switch item, you set the Checked property to the ID of the item that you want checked for the StatusBarSwitchPane object. Here's an example:


   Dim objSwitchPane As XtremeCommandBars.StatusBarSwitchPane

      ' Create View Switches
      Set objSwitchPane = .StatusBar.AddSwitchPane(PANE_View)
      With objSwitchPane
         .BeginGroup = True
         .AddSwitch SWITCH_ViewReport, "Report View"
         .AddSwitch SWITCH_ViewForm, "Form View"

         ' Set the switch that is selected/checked         
         .Checked = SWITCH_ViewReport
      End With

Hi,

Thanks Oleg

I was totally going in the wrong direction

Now I'm clear with the property, this is a nice option to have.

Just wondering if there was any word on whether the following might be implemented for the next release:

1) Is there a way to disable an individual switch instead of the whole pane? In my app, sometimes a switch will be applicable, and sometimes not. I could just remove the switch when it's not applicable, but I think it would be better to disable it.

2) Is there any way to increase the width of the switches? I would like to be able to use a 16x16 icon but it is too big for the current background image for the switch buttons. Setting an adequate height (via the StatusBar.MinHeight property) is easy, but changing the width of the switch buttons eludes me.

In particular, #1 would be very useful for my application.

Thanks.

Any chance of:

1) Disable individual switches
2) Set the switch width (for using bigger icons)?

for 12.1?
