Hi Everyone,

Maybe I have had enough coffee yet. I need help figuring this out. I have 2 instances of a TOOLBAR and I want them to appear on the same row with one another. If I assign them both XTPBarPosition.xtpBarTop then one appears at the top most available row in the wind and the second appears right under the first...

Ideas?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,

It can be done by using the following code:

' How to use...
' Call DockRightOf(ToolBar1, ToolBar2)

Private Sub DockRightOf(BarOnLeft As CommandBar, BarToDock As CommandBar)
    Dim Bottom As Long, Left As Long, Right As Long, Top As Long
   
    CommandBars.RecalcLayout
    BarOnLeft.GetWindowRect Left, Top, Right, Bottom
    CommandBars.DockToolBar BarToDock, Right, (Bottom + Top) / 2, BarOnLeft.Position
End Sub

Hi Xander... thanks... I did the translation to C#.

The trick, in case anyone tries this, is that the toolbar to be re-positioned needs to happen after the main window has been "drawn" or "shown". For example, I did the call within the "load" of the main window with the command bars and it didn't work... when I moved the call to the method that is triggered when the main window/command bars are shown, it did work...

Mega thanks... if people want the converted C# code, let me know!!!!

Hi Steve,

Glad the code helped even though you required to convert this to C#. You might be best to add the code to this post, especially as in the near future I might be using the Codejock Suite in C#. So I will need all the help I can get! LOL
