how to refer to toolbar?

[Nifrabar]

Hi!
I have a custom toolbar as per '1001 things'.
Would it be possible to retrieve a reference to a button on the toolbar so I can run code from a toolbarbutton from a menuitem?

Sure, how that toolbar is created?

Hi!
Toolbar is created as class but is instanciated from the form-manager. To trace that code is a bit weird to me. (sorry authors of 1001 things...)

If you don't know the name you use for the Toolbar object, how I supposed to know it
Click on toolbar and see the name in the properties window.

I'd suggest you do store the code to execute somewhere, where you can call it from both the toolbar button and a menu item, eg a function/procedure in a prg.

That way you would not need a reference to a toolbar button in a menu item and everything is less complicated.

Bye, Olaf.

Thanks all for your time!
I feel Olaf's solution is most easiest to implement.
Thanks!
