TControlBar & TActionToolBar

[Supernat03]

Here's my problem:

I want to use TActionToolBar and the TActionManager to allow the user customization of the toolbars.

I want the modern TCoolbar style toolbars displayed at the top, but coolbars won't let you size the band. It takes up the entire TCoolBar. Also, you cannot undock TActionToolBars from a TCoolBar, that I've found.

So I decided to use TControlBar, which works great on the top! But I want the user to be able to move the TActionToolBar from the top to the left size interchangably.

The TControlBar does not allow for displaying a TActionToolBar vertically in it. Let me know if I'm wrong. Does anyone know of a good TControlBar-like component out there that accepts vertical TActionToolBars?

The CoolBar accepts TActionToolBars also, and displays them vertically fine. The problem is, I can't undock them or move them to another ControlBar or CoolBar, and you can't adjust the band size to be JUST big enough.

Any help is appreciated.

A TCoolBar object is default AlTop aligned, u should check the height of the ToolBar and set the Align property to alLeft, alRight or alNone depending what you want
