Button Graphic - Remove Grey Box
Hello fellow VB'ers! I have a simple yet complex puzzle for you all.
When you put a graphic onto a button and view the button, you see the graphic but you also see the rest of the button's border..
For example, I have an Rounded Rectangle graphic with a rectangle box. Now when viewing the project, I see the graphic plus the rectangle box around the graphic..

Any way to remove this border or the command box, but keep the image as the button? Or better yet, is there a way to just make the graphic a button and not have to worry about any sort of borders?

Thanks for the help!

How To Make A Button As The Default Submit Button
Hi Friends,
Sorry once again for asking a simple question, but I don't have an answer and I have tried all sorts of things. I have many buttons in my application and I want to make a particular button called cmdSave as default button for that form. That means, when the user finishes filling up the form, he should be able to access the cmdSave button by pressing the Enter key. How do I do this? Thank you very much. Thank you for all your replies for the previous questions.

Graphical Arrow On Cmd Button
Got another problem that i am stuck at again!

I created an arrow which is to denote the next button, using the line within the toolbox - is it possible to get the arrow line drawn on top of the next cmd button, so the next cmd button has the next text and the drawn arrow on it? I tried using the send to back/send to front command but this don't work or does the arrow line have to be done another way?

Thanks again for your time and help.

Arrow As Caption - Command Button
I know I've done this before but can't seem to remember how. All I need to do is present the caption of a command button as an arrow. There is a character combination that will do this but can't seem to remember what it is.

The result should be the appearance similar to a drop down button.

Thanks in advance...

Putting Arrow On Command Button
I have a command button with the dimensions of 435X375 Twips i.e 7.67mm X 6.61mm when converted into millimeters. So, to accomodate a arrow on the top of the command button I have designed an arrow in Autocad with the dimensions of 6mmX 5mm.From Autocad I am exporting the object in *wmf format which retains the vectored nature (dimensional accuracy) of the image & is also understandable to VB6.After changing the style of the button to Graphical I am setting the picture mode to the generated *wmf file.But due to some reason the picture that is appearing on the button is so large that it is covering the entire button.

Can somebody please advise?

Detecticing Clicks On The Minimize Button,max Button And Closeout Button (X)
one more question, ok two i suppse heh,

this program that i'm almost done with (thankfully hehe), uses a timer loop to refresh itself every 15 minutes.
i've noticed a bug that while my timer is in effect it refuses to acknowledge a click on the X in the upper right hand corner of the screen as an Exit program (form) command, instead it refreshes my countdown.

what i want to know is there an event label that will detect a click on any of these buttons and immediately do whatever code i have in the event?

i would like to know the event code for the min button as well since i have it minimizing to they system tray, but only if you double click the icon. i would like it where when i click on the min button it auto goes to the tray and no just minimize the program.

Thanks in advance

Add Button To IE Toolbar
Hi,

I made a routine ( based on a code ) that adds a button to the IE toolbar. The problem is that the button doesn't appear automatically ( even with "Default Visible" set to "Yes" ) - the user must go and fetch it in the toolbar options. The original code doesn't put the button in the toolbar either. What is it missing? Is there another way of adding a button?

Kind regards,

Rigel Kent

New Button In IE Toolbar
Hi again,

I made an application that puts a button in the IE toolbar. The problem is that it doesn't appear automatically, not even after a reboot - the user must chose it manually. What can be the problem? I set the "Default visible" to "Yes".

One more question, if you don't mind: how do I create a Pull-down menu in that button?

Kind regards,

I'm trying to write aprogram where the target user simply drag's item from the listbx onto a button on a toolbar, then certain actions follow. However when I go to the Drag Drop event of the toolbar I can't find anyway to see which button my user dragged over. Does anyone know ?

Toolbar Button
Hi,
On form, I have a toolbar with some buttons and one of them has name "ListButton" button. On same form, I put a Listbox within a frame to display a list of orders that assigned to current user. That means whoever logins, the Listbox will display orders belong to that person only. When I run program, the form is blank and the frame will show with list of orders if you click on "ListButton". The list will allow user to double click the order to open it. The "FrameButton" will be hidden when an order is open. The button will toggle to change the z-order of the frame.
For example, clicking to the toolbar button will move the frame to
the back. Clicking again will move the frame to the front. My question is how to write code to hide the frame when order is open and show frame again when clicking the "ListButton" on toolbar. I really need help about this problem. Thanks All

Add Button To The IE Toolbar
Hi,

I made a improved script based in a good one in order to create a button in the IE toolbar. The problem is that the button doesn't appear automatically in the toolbar - the user must go get it in the toolbar options.

The script is based in registry manipulation - and I set "Default Visible" to "Yes".

What can be the problem?

Meanwhile, I have two more doubts: I have a anti-keylogger of my own - it works according to my rules. Now, how can I block the outgoing traffic of a suspicious application?
And last, how can I intercept all the outgoing emails ( from Outlook or any application ) in order to check them and then allow or not its sending?

Kind regards,

Toolbar Button Problem
I have constructed a Toolbar in my VB6 application and everything seems to work properly except with two of the buttons.

If I click the "tbrDropDown" style button it stays pushed in, but when I click on the other "tbrCheck" style button the "tbrDropDown" button pops up. All the other buttons work perfectly....

Is there something I am missing that causes these two to work together?

Just Wondering If I Can.... {add Button To Add-in Toolbar}
hey,

I was wondering this:

At the present time, I created a perfectly functioning excel add-in that uses box characters from the character map for referencing purposes. I used the =findunicode function after finding the alt+# to write the code. See below for one of the character codes:

Sub Character247()
ActiveCell.Value = ChrW(8776)
Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 3
End Sub

So, my question is this: Is there a way to add another button to this already existing toolbar. I wanted to include a check mark from wingdings (centered and blue). I'm not sure what to do but this is what I have so far. Only, I don't know 1) if this code is right and 2), if it were, how do I connect it to my existing toolbar. Thanks.. hopefully that made sense!!

ActiveCell.Value = ChrW(252)
With Selection.Font
.Name = "Wingdings"
.Size = 12
.Bold = True
.Strikethrough = False
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
.OutlineFont = False
.Shadow = False
.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With

End Sub

VBA Excel Toolbar Button
Hi everyone, and thanks for reading this!

I have recently started to learn VB and VBA and am nearing completion of my first mini prog in VBA with excel. I have come to a halt at one little problem. I would like the prog to automatically add a new tollbar item when the project is opened but do not now how to do this. The program is a simple payroll system and just needs a launch point from the main excel toolbar so that the user can access the user forms.

I hope that makes sense

Thanks again

Customized Button On Toolbar
Hi,

I would appreciate help with the following. I am currently writing code in a module in VBA. I want to then save this as an add-in. I want to trigger the code in the addin by a button on the toolbar that basically looks like it is part of the standard toolbar ie. File Edit View Insert Format Tools Data Window and Help. I have right clicked on the toolbar and put in my macro and so next to Help is Mymacro. If you click on Mymacro it will pop up a user form that I have designed.

I want other people to be able to use my addin. I know I would save my vba code as an add-in and then have the users install by going to Tools Add-Ins.

The strange thing is that before I even saved my code as an add-in, I previously just saved it as an Excel workbook that 'button' has now stuck and
is now part of my template for working in any Excel workbook. Also, it is also
has a hard coded path to where the vba code is.

1. My question is how to I create a 'button' that can be part of and add-in and if the add-in were removed the button would be removed as well.

2. Also, I want the add-in code to work on the current activeworkbook not the workbook it was created in. In my add-in code do I just refer to activeworkbook? Is that okay?

thanks!

Clicking Toolbar Button On Another App
Hi, does anybody know how to click the first Toolbar button on another app?
I tried TB_PRESSBUTTON and it sets the first button to tbrPressed, but it doesn't run the Toolbar click event.

Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As String) As Long
'Private Const BM_CLICK As Long = &HF5

Private Const WM_USER = &H400

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim hParent As Long

hParent = FindWindow("TfrmMain", vbNullString)
'Debug.Print hParent

If hParent <> 0 Then

Text Only Toolbar Button
Does anyone know how to remove the blank "image" from a text only toolbar button i.e. (Toolbar1.TextAlignment = tbrTextAlignRight : Toolbar1.Buttons.Add , "p", "Print", tbrDropDown) still leaves space for the image to the left of the caption, despite there being no image. I'm hoping that some API anorak can come up with the goods !

Toolbar Button Click
I am trying to operate a toolbar with this procedure.

Private Sub tbrPMT_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)
Dim oCompany As BE.clsCompany

Select Case Button
Case 1
Blah blah
Case 2
Blah blah
end select

However regardless of which button I press the Button value remains "". Its a pretty standard toolbar with an image box to populate the pictures. I thought that the button value was just the button index set in the properties...am I missing something?

Mousemove On Toolbar Button
I am trying to figure out which button the mouse is over when my curser goes over the toolbar

the only way I can see is to use the coordinates from toolbar_mousemove to find out which it is on.., although I don't know how to do this; unless you would do it by adding up the buttons and finding out where each is then using select case...

I suppose I could do that but if there is an easier way...

thanx in advanced,
Byan

Code Under A Toolbar Button?
I'm a real beginner in VB, so sorry if this is a very noob question

I've just placed a toolbar with an imagelist. So I now got a real nice toolbar, with functions as "New", "Open" etc. But where can I set the actions for thede buttons? When you click on the toolbar you'll get the following private sub:

Private Sub Toolbar1_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)
End Sub

So I thought the variable "Button" would hold the index of the button pressed, but this variable is always empty.

So how do I know when a user has pressed on a button, and which button he / she pressed?

Thnx!
