How to position a toolbar form absolutely? 1

[Aseem1234]

Hello,

I have a foxpro application in which I have made a form to represent a toolbar that the user can use to navigate the application...I would like this toolbar to show up exactly 50 pixels below the foxpro menu at the top of the window...I tried to use top and left, but if I am correct those are used for absolute pixels from the top of the screen and left of the screen....I need something to be an absolute distance from the top of the foxpro main window!

Can anyone help???

Thanks

Try using SYSMETRIC() function minus a percentage.

You may find it more convenient in the long term to create a custom toolbar based on the VFP toolbar class.


You would then be able to dock/undock and position the toolbar programatically and accurately, as well as docking/undocking/positioning with the mouse.

The position on the screen is determined by the objects' .Dock() method such as

[COLOR=blue]tbrMain.Dock(-1,10,50)[/color]

meaning the toolbar is undocked, at left 10 pixels and top 50 pixels.

A keyword search on toolbar will produce numerous threads on the topic. If you need help on how to create and initialize a toolbar class, suggest you start a new thread.
