Barely use ToolBars but I tried and it's the same for me. You could just have a static variable store whichever one is pressed, and unpress that when you're pressing another. :P


Option Explicit

Dim iPressed As Integer
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim iTemp As Integer
    iTemp = Int(Rnd * Toolbar1.Buttons.Count) + 1
    Toolbar1.Buttons(iPressed).Value = tbrUnpressed
    Toolbar1.Buttons(iTemp).Value = tbrPressed
    iPressed = iTemp
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
    iPressed = 1
End Sub

Is it suppose group can do it for me? to do unpress?

 

by: EDDYKTPosted on 2003-12-17 at 08:43:16ID: 9957768

I tried but it doesn't work for me either

Toolbar1.Buttons(1).Value = tbrUnpressed
Toolbar1.Buttons(3).Value = tbrPressed

 

by: zzzzzoocPosted on 2003-12-17 at 08:56:12ID: 9957869

It worked for me (Common Controls 6.0). Do you have an up-to-date version? Might have something to do with certain properties though. Try adding a new ToolBar and then adding some blank tabs and test it.

Hmm, you seriously can't set the first button to unpressed on a basically empty project? It works fine for me. Try using keys for your buttons and accessing them from the collection via that. If not, I haven't a clue.


Private Sub Form_Load()
    Toolbar1.Buttons("Button1").Value = tbrUnpressed
    Toolbar1.Buttons("Button3").Value = tbrPressed
End Sub

 

by: EDDYKTPosted on 2003-12-17 at 10:22:07ID: 9958493

It works on form_load but if you do


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Toolbar1.Buttons(3).Value = tbrUnpressed
Toolbar1.Buttons(2).Value = tbrPressed
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Toolbar1.Buttons(1).Value = tbrUnpressed
    Toolbar1.Buttons(3).Value = tbrPressed
End Sub

Click the button and you will see what i am talking about

Should I delete this question?

I look like there is a bug on VB6 control
I tried on VB5 and everything works fine.

by: zzzzzoocPosted on 2003-12-18 at 08:55:45ID: 9965482

Seems to be a bug when the form is just loading. I tried the below and it didn't occur like it did with the example you showed.


Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Toolbar1.Buttons(1).Value = tbrPressed
    Toolbar1.Buttons(2).Value = tbrUnpressed
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
    Toolbar1.Buttons(1).Value = tbrUnpressed
    Toolbar1.Buttons(2).Value = tbrPressed
End Sub


If that's not the issue, just delete the question. Nothing useful here to anybody anyways.

I just ran into this problem and didn't find any answer to solve it (short of rolling back to SP5 controls).  Still, here is what I did.  I put a Toolbar .Refresh in the _Click event or at the beggining of the _ButtonClick event (or almost anywhere) and that seemed to fix it for me.  Hope that helps.

 

by: EnladePosted on 2004-12-01 at 08:43:16ID: 12717739


Course now, if you drag a window over the button (like a child form) the button redraws unpressed.  I'm not sure how to solve that one.  I guess its best to use SP5 controls instead.

 

by: EnladePosted on 2004-12-01 at 09:01:18ID: 12718024


Oh, my bad.  I forgot to set the button .Style.  You need to set that to tbrCheck or tbrButtonGroup to get it to work properly for buttons that you want to stay pressed.  It seems to fix the problem alltogether if you set the .Style to one of the above rather then to tbrDefault (which is the same as not setting the .Style).

Basically, the tbrDefault for SP5 seems to act similarly to tbrCheck, but for SP6 the tbrDefault is distinctly different when it comes to keeping buttons pressed (and in relation to the Refresh of the control due to dragging something over it).
