How does the toolbar work?

[JamieWarren09]

Hi guys, I've created a toolbar with 4 buttons...

How do i add code to a button?

Example i want the first button i added to show a msgbox when clicked the second to start a timer e.t.c

How do i add a code to each button individually?


regards,
Jamie

Well, pretty much just as described in the VB6 docs.

Simple example with 3 buttons, Key values set to One, Two, Three:

Private Sub Toolbar1_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)
    With Button
        'Using .Key, or use .Index though it can be more work to manage
        'as you maintain your program over time.
        Select Case .Key 
            Case "One"
                MsgBox "One"
            Case "Two"
                MsgBox "Two"
            Case "Three"
                MsgBox "Three"
        End Select
    End With
End Sub

Fantastic, one last question. When case three is pressed how can i mkae the caption of that button change from "Mute" to "Unmute" ?

Thanks

That shouldn't be a problem. The Button objects have a Caption property that appears to be read/write at runtime.

try the following

Private Sub Toolbar1_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)
    With Button
        'Using .Key, or use .Index though it can be more work to manage
        'as you maintain your program over time.
        Select Case .Key 
            Case "One"
                MsgBox "One"
            Case "Two"
                MsgBox "Two"
            Case "Three"
                MsgBox "Three"
                .caption="Unmute"
        End Select
    End With
End Sub

Brilliant stuff pal, Really appreciate that!

I've tried doing an if statement but does not seem to work?

I did

if .caption = "mute mic" then
.caption = "Unmute mic"

Else :

.caption ="mute mic"

End if


I basically want it so when it's clicked the caption changes from mute mic to unmute mic. Then when clicked again and unpressed it changes from Unmute mic back to mute mic.

Any ideas?
