HELP ASAP! The Coolbar/Menu controls
I'm only 14 years old, but I've been programming with VB for quite a while
now. I can't seem to figure out how to incorporate a menu with the coolbar
control. Microsoft does this all the time with IE, all the Visual Studio
products, and Office 2000. I do, however, know this much: you can draw a
toolbar onto the coolbar control, but you CAN'T just make the toolbar
buttons just captions; you have to associate a picture with it. The thing
is, I don't want to put a picture there; I just want the menu. I have kinda
avoided this by associating a picture with the button that is only 1 pixel
by 1 pixel. That way, it doesn't look too bad. However, I can't trigger
the ButtonDropDown event by just pushing the button. It gives me an error.
Maybe I'm doing this all wrong, but I know there's no way to associate a
regular menu created by VB6's menu editor with a toolbar OR coolbar. Or is
there? I don't know! Help me! Anyone with an idea they can contribute
would help me out very much. I'm writing a program that scrambles text and
I would be willing to give the program to whoever can give me some ideas.
Thanks,
MAA
