Finding out the Height of a set of commandbars

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I have a CommandBars object inside a pictureBox. The commandBars has 3 commandBar objects inside and some of them wrap, thus increasing the height.

I'd like to know the total height occupied by the 3 commandBar objects, so I can resize the containing pictureBox accordingly.

How can I do this?

Thanks

	Hey fernando, this seems to by pretty easy! You need to know the CommandBar(s) which height is needed Take a look at this function: Private Function getCommandbarHeight(ByVal oBar As CommandBar) As Long ' It seems to be necessary to recalc the position if more than one CommandBarHeight is requested cmbCommandbarControl.RecalcLayout ' Calc Call oCommandBar.GetWindowRect(lLeft, lTop, lRight, lBottom) ' Result getCommandbarHeight = lBottom - lTop End Function Now, you've got the height of this CommandBar In your case there are more than one CommandBars - just add the height of the second Bar... Private Function getTotalHeight as Long dim lHeight as Long ' Calc lHeight = getCommandbarHeight(... BAR1 ...) lHeight = lHeight + getCommandbarHeight(...BAR2...) lHeight = lHeight +getCommandbarHeight(... BAR3 ...) ' ... ' Result getTotalHeight = lHeight End Function If you want to calc the height of the Top-Menubar then call this method ... lheight = getCommandbarHeight(cmbCommandbarControl.ActiveMenuBar) ... Hope this helps! Greetings...
