[RESOLVED] MDI Toolbars

Hi, I am fairly new at programming but I have been learning by examining samples and make my self utilities insted of downloading them. BTW it's safer too. Anyways I need to know where I can find a MDI Sample with pre-made toolbars. I know how to use the VB Application Wizard and it almost covers all of what I need, but it doesn’t cover the formatting toolbar options (text font, size, color...). I would like a tool bar similar to the MS Word or WordPad toolbars. So if could get the sample, the hard part of my utility will be done. Thank you for your help.

This is mine:

But this is what I need:

Thanks again, and BTW if anyone was a working sample of a coolbar, I would greatly appreciate it as well.

Even if someone has the sample code for MS WordPad it would help.

couldn't you place another toolbar on your MDI form, and add comboboxes on it?

Ok, let’s work from there. How do I load the Font List in one, available Font Sizes for selected font in another, the Styles in one, and finaly the Font Colors in a drop down button with the color previewed? :confused: Thanks Again

What do you exactly want? We are currently working with something similar... So if you were kind enough to explain me again your needs I might be able help you.

Anyway, to Get the Fonts into a ComboBox try:

VB Code:

Public Sub SetFontList(inControl As Control)
'Designed for Controls with List and Text Properties
Dim i As Integer
 
inControl.Clear
 
For i = 0 To Screen.FontCount - 1
 inControl.AddItem Screen.Fonts(i)
Next i
 
inControl.Text = inControl.List(0)
End Sub

That's what I thought about... But I can't find how to get the size, of every font, though...

Thanks, I got every thing but the color menus.

Ok, give me a moment to check that... I think I can solve that.

Here you are, as promised:
