Toolbar buttons like Radiobuttons *[RESOLVED]*

**RealNickyDude** · Dec 9th, 2002, 06:25 PM

I have a toolbar with which I want the image that the user clicked upon to stay pressed until another one is pressed, then I wish the last button pressed to pop out and the new button to press in <phew!>

I know I can set the buttonstyles to pushbutton and I know I have to get the index of the last button pressed and I know you have to use something like:

VB Code:

Case "Details" 'First button
    pnlDetails.BringToFront()
    [b]OldIndex = 0[/b]
    MessageBox.Show(OldIndex)
    '
Case "Game" 'Second button
    <[i]toolbar1.Buttons.IndexOf(oldindex) = <pop this button out>[/i]>
    ...

But what exactly is the right code? Can anyone help? Please.

I've never done it before, but I'm guessing it would be something like this...(in the ButtonClick event of the ToolBar)

Code:

MyToolBar.Buttons.Item(LastButtonIndex).Pushed = False

LastButtonIndex = MyToolBar.Buttons.IndexOf(e.Button)

Hope that helps

btw, what's the tag for formatting your code to VB?

I'll try that, thanks.

right on, thanx

VB Code:

MessageBox.Show(IIF(Me.NotSoBright, ":(", ":)"))

I can't get it quite right, this is what I have:

VB Code:

If ToolBar1.Buttons.IndexOf(e.Button) <> LastButtonIndex Then
                    ToolBar1.Buttons.Item(LastButtonIndex).Pushed = False
                    LastButtonIndex = ToolBar1.Buttons.IndexOf(e.Button)
                Else
                    [b]ToolBar1.Buttons.Item(ToolBar1.Buttons.IndexOf).Pushed = True[/b]
                End If

I need the button to stay in still if the user clicks on a pushed in button. The line in bold is giving me trouble, can you help?

that line won't really do anything...try this instead...i think you're trying to make it more complicated than it should be

VB Code:

e.Button.Pushed = True

You just want the button your on to stay pushed right? e.Button is just a reference to the button that was just clicked on.

right on, thanx

VB Code:

MessageBox.Show(IIF(Me.NotSoBright, ":(", ":)"))
