Hi.
I was hoping to change from ActiveBar (DataDynamics) to CommandBars-menus (Ribbonbar) in all our forms (>100). We are using vb6. I am trying to find an easy way. I have created an object wich creates the menus itself. We use layout-files to dynamically create the ActiveBars and I have mangaed to create an object whick create CommanBars menys (as Ribbonbars) of the same layout. And it work great. It is really good-looking. But I have a problem when I am trying to just swap the AcitveBar-component with the CommanBars component in my excisting forms. Where the ActiveBar always dock itself to the top, my CommnadBars doesnt.
We use a tab-component from ComponentOne a lot wich has an Allign-property set to Fill. When we use ActiveBar the menu dock itself to the top and the Tab-control comes under and fill the rest of the form. With CommandBars the Tab-control fill the entire form and my menu doesnt show. (it is behind).
I am tryning to find the easiest way to dock my COmmandbars-control to the top, because there are many many forms that I will implement this to if it workds. Anyone can help me?
This is my code sofar:
Set Ribbonbar = theMenu.AddRibbonBar("The Ribbon")
Ribbonbar.EnableDocking xtpFlagAlignTop 'xtpFlagStretched
Ribbonbar.Position = xtpBarTop
theMenu is my CommandBars-control which is on the form
Please help. Would really lift our program
We are using Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX v12.1.0 - by the way

I solved the same issue with few lines of code.
1 -- Set the "align" property of your tab control or elastic control to asNone (0 - zero).
2 -- In the Resize event of your commandbar, use this snippet (control c1, in this case, is an elastic control)...
If Me.WindowState <> vbMinimized Then
CommandBars1.GetClientRect iLeft, iTop, iRight, iBottom
c1.Move iLeft, iTop, iRight, iBottom - iTop
End If
Hope this helps...

You can use ResizeClient-Event of the CommandBar. This works also if your form is being resized.

Thanks a lot. Both works. Was just hoping that there was a simple property on the control to dock it to the top (it is a toolbar-control afterall). No I have to add an elastic to each of our forms. Not that much work, but anyway.... thanks a lot
