Toolbar issues

AndiG

Hi Garry, how can I access the Toolbar (and their buttons) at runtime? I want to localize the buttons, but I cannot get access to the button text from my code.

And, the picture with text in the button is not vertical centered, the upper space is 2-3 points less than the space below the button text.

Mmm...

Self.Toolbar.ItemAt(index).

gives only Name. No Text and other properties.

26.7.3: .Text still seems to be forgotten.

Thanks both. These separate issues are both are fixed for the next release:

Toolbar.ItemAt() and Toolbar.FindItem() return a ToolbarItem. Although Text, Enabled, and Tooltip existed at runtime, they were declared only on ToolbarActionItem. That meant Studio’s code completion correctly (but unhelpfully) showed only the base properties.

These common properties are now available directly on ToolbarItem, so no cast is required:

Self.Toolbar.ItemAt(0).Text = "Add"

Self.Toolbar.FindItem("RemoveButton").Text = "Remove"
Self.Toolbar.FindItem("RemoveButton").Tooltip = "Remove this item"
Self.Toolbar.FindItem("RemoveButton").Enabled = True

Using FindItem() with the item’s name is generally preferable to relying on its index, particularly if the toolbar’s contents might change.

I’ve also corrected the vertical alignment of toolbar buttons containing both an icon and text. The combined icon-and-label content is now optically centred within the toolbar. The correction covers standard, toggle, menu, and split toolbar buttons without affecting text-only or icon-only buttons.
