ToolBar position in a form

[mol]

I can't find if it's a way to position toolbar anywhere I want on the form.
Do anybody have an idea how to move it?

I don't think it is possible. Anyway I never found it!

If you are talking about floating toolbar, this feature is available in MiniGUI Ex build.

The source code to define the above toolbar is below.

Code: Select all

...
      DEFINE WINDOW Form_Fl ;
         AT 0,0 ;
         WIDTH 200 HEIGHT 80 ;
         TITLE 'ToolBar Float Small Buttons';
         PALETTE ;
         ON SIZE flResizeTb();
         ON INIT AdjustFloatToolbar( GetFormHandle('Form_1'), GetFormHandle('Form_fl'), GetControlHandle ('ToolBar_i' , 'Form_fl' ) )

Great Grigory !

It's useful, but I thought about placing ordinary toolbar at the of the form

[EduardoLuis]

Hi Mol:

The best place to put a Toolbar is at the top of the form.-
As it is a container, you can define many toolbars in diferent modal windows, so as it is, its absolutly versatile.-
I remember that somebody long time ago, put the toolbar at the bottom of the form, but its not usefull.-
As lots of app manages toolbar at the top, end users are familiarized looking options at the op of form.-
Just an opinion.-
With regards. Eduardo

I agree that the best place of toolbar is at the top. But, my form has two functions: one to add cheque and second - list of clients with texboxes of its properties and possibilities to edit and add new one.
It's my client request.

Hi Marek,

How about using a vertical toolbar as shown in the image below
