Hi all,

In my application, the toolbars work fine.  If I right-click on the menu at runtime, I can turn the toolbar text on or off.  By default it's off.  How can I change that to be on by default?

Not sure where the code is, or what the property it.  I'm using PB2021 and PFC 12. 

TIA,

~~~Tracy

Open the Application object and look at the properties sheet. ToolbarText should do it.

In code:

Application la_app

la_app = GetApplication()

la_app.ToolbarText = True

Thank you! Both methods work great! Didn't realize it's an application object property... I kept looking for a menu property.

Hi, Tracy - 

This is managed by a property of the Application object, and when used, is typically set in the Application object's Open event:

This.ToolbarText = True

In PB Help, look under "toolbars", then sub-topic "Set properties in the Application Painter".

Best regards, John
