Toolbar with placeholder buttons

[simpleVB]

I want to create a toolbar ( using the toolbar control in VB 6.0) and place two text boxes for user input on the toolbar. I also want to display caption for these text boxes. These two text boxes appear side by side between some toolbar buttons. Can anyone provide the code?

You can just add buttons with types vbPlaceholder. You can then put the TXBoxes on top. Is that your question or have I misunderstood?

thanks for the answer, but i think i didn't word my question correctly. I want to do the task at run time(which means through code). Also even though i set the ".Caption" property for the place holder button the Caption is not displayed.

If you want to do that...hold on, let me get VB on-line...

Private Sub Form_Load()
    tb.Buttons.Add [Index], [Key], "See *", 4, 0
End Sub

You should add the KEY and possibly Index, depending on your case.

Now, as for captions...

You cannot add captions to a separator, right? The same goes for a placeholder, but there's a very simple way...use a label in place of it. Draw a label in front of the placeholder. & chr(0)

Got it?

Thanks,
I'd figured out as much as u have suggested but i was just hoping there's a better way of doing it!!
At least i know now that i was on the right track!
