Hello,

why isn't it possible to get the statusbar text for a Submenu ?

(see your example Multilanguage)

Private Sub Form_Load()

CommandBarsGlobalSettings.App = App

ResetCommandBars

' ... Code

StatusBar.IdleText = GetString(ID_IDLE_TEXT)

End Sub

Sub ResetCommandBars()

   Set ControlEdit = AddControl(CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls, xtpControlPopup, ID_EDIT)

   With ControlEdit.CommandBar
    AddControl .Controls, xtpControlButton, ID_EDIT_EDIT
      AddControl .Controls, xtpControlButton, ID_EDIT_SEARCH
         Set Control = .Controls.Add(xtpControlPopup, ID_DIENSTE, GetString(ID_DIENSTE))
         Control.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_DIENSTE_COMPRESS, GetString(ID_DIENSTE_COMPRESS)
         Control.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_DIENSTE_REPAIR, GetString(ID_DIENSTE_REPAIR)
         Control.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_DIENSTE_BACKUP, GetString(ID_DIENSTE_BACKUP)
   End With

And please show me the right way to create a submenu, All your examples are not complete, because there ist not shown how to make a correct submenu. and the helpfile contents only funktions without any examples.

thx Detlev

PS: Example Code of the .rc-file

STRINGTABLE DISCARDABLE
BEGIN

ID_DIENSTE_REPAIR "Datenbank &reparieren...\nDatenbank reparieren\nDienste\nFragendatenbank reparieren"

END

Hello,

In Sample I added in AddControl

Control.DescriptionText = "Some text"

and see description for all controls... So obviously something with your descriptions in rc file.

In your sample ID_DIENSTE seems it is submenu.... So where is problem?

Hello,

I asked it before ...

>> why isn't it possible to get the statusbar text for a Submenu ?

I have in my project 3 or 4 Submenus and in no one the statusbartext is shown when the mousecursor is on one of the submenuitems.

yes ID_DIENSTE is the ID for the beginning of the SubMenu like so..

ID_OPTIONS ' MenuTitle ID

ID_OPTIONS_DATETIME

ID_DIENSTE

|-> ID_DIENSTE_COMPRESS 'here is NO statusbar ID_IDLE_TEXT
|-> ID_DIENSTE_REPAIR ' and not here

|-> ID_DIENSTE_BACKUP ' and not here

ID_OPTIONS_SOUND

....

The RC-File is correct compiled as a DLL. Sample please see my last posting. In all other menu's statusbar ID_IDLE_TEXT works correctly and only in all submenu's it works not correct, why ?

I hope you unterstand that problem.

thx Detlev

Hello,

In code you attached you set only caption but not description text.

Instead

Control.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_DIENSTE_COMPRESS, GetString(ID_DIENSTE_COMPRESS)

call

AddControl Control.CommandBar.Controls, xtpControlButton, ID_DIENSTE_COMPRESS
