Toolbar Question

[williamu]

I want to add a Toolbar to my application that has a right justifed text box. So, should the User resize the form the text control is always at the right side of the bar.

Oh and just for good measure what about adding Comboboxes as well to the bar.

Is any of this Possible? If so I'd appreciate some pointers.

Use a Toolbar button with property set to Placeholder for all three of your requirements. A placeholder button set the same width as your textbox or combobox can be overlaid with the other control. Use the Buttons(x).Left , .Top properties etc.

To set a textbox at the right, put a placeholder toolbutton before the Textbox button and change it's width in the form_ resize event.

tb1.Buttons(4).Width = Me.Width - 5 * (tb1.Buttons(1).Width)

You'll need to change the figures to suit your placeholder button widths of course
