Creating a toolbar

[Pentax]

Hello!
I'd like to create a toolbar in my app, for the most common choices, such as New file, Save file, Open file, Print, Cut, Copy, Paste and so on (I'm working on a texteditor/encryptor).
I guess I could put in a lot of small pictures, but there should be an easier way o do it.

If anyone know how to create it, please help me!

Thanks,
Pentax

Hi,

what you need to do is:

1) add the Component Windows Common Controls to you project, it contains a toolbar

2) drag a toolbar and an imagelist to your form

3) add icons to the imagelist

4) in the Button-Tab of the Toolbar, set the buttons you want to have, give each button a key

5) add the code

Private Sub Toolbar1_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)
   Select Case Button.Key
      Case "Key1" 'key for button1
         'add code you want to run
      
      Case "Key2"
         '...
         
   End Select
End Sub

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot!
I'll try it (when I've got time over from History, French, Math, Physics, German, Chemistry and other stuff).
