I have a VB6 application that uses a relatively streamlined Toolbar ActiveX control. Unfortunately, streamlined also means "missing some features". I am trying to prolong the life of my growing app until next year (when I port over to .NET and C#) which means I have to eliminate any unnecessary bloat or complicated (inter-dependent) libraries for distribution.
Microsoft's COMCTL32 is one library that I am now very close to saying "good bye" to "forever!!".
Right now, I need your help to get the functionality I am after with as small a footprint as possible.
_BUTTON EVENTS/PROPERTIES
_
- OnClick
- OnMouseMove (x, y)
- OnMouseDown
- OnMouseUp
- Click
- Enabled
- Visible (must be able to hide at run-time too!)
_TOOLBAR PROPERTIES/METHODS_
- Align (toolbar)
- ButtonSpacing
- BackgroundColor
- AddRemoveButtons (includes at run-time!!!!)
_BUTTON PROPERTIES_
- PictureSize (16x16, 32x32 or custom)
- PictureEnabled (buttons)
- PictureDisabled (buttons) !!!
- PictureMouseOver (buttons) !!!!!
- Key (buttons)
- Caption (buttons)
- Enabled
- Separator (vertical line)
- Font
- CaptionLocation (Right or "Bottom")
**_IMPORTANT_**
- Pictures must support transparency in image files (.GIF)
- A border for buttons is NOT required. This should work like a web app almost
- **NO DEPENDENCY LIBRARIES unless coder can make a good argument why**
**_TIP TO CODERS
_**I do accept new-to-RAC coders, however, you better have something in your profile that tells me why I should hire you.
