Re-using the Toolbar and Menu code

[Romper]

I've got an assignment where I want to have a toolbar and menus.

The toolbar and menus will essentially do the same thing so I want to just pass the menu index that has just been selected to the toolbar_ButtonClick method as that will contain all the turning on/off of buttons etc.

The problem is the ButtonClick method takes this parameter:
(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)

Does anyone know if I will have to create the code twice for the same thing or is there a way to pass it to the method? Maybe creating my own method would be the best way?

Cheers

I'm not sure if I know exactly what you mean but I usually do it like this;

Each button on the toolbar has a 'Key' property that you can type in from the properties window.

Then, in the Button_Click event;

Toolbar1_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)

Select Case Button.Key
Case "new"
mnuNew_Click

Case "open"
mnuOpen_Click

etc..etc.etc..

End Select

End Sub


Hope this helps
