Hi all,

I'm trying to prevent a user from changing the position of a menu toolbar. What I'd really like is to get rid of the handle that allows you to change it in the first place, but that seems to be difficult.

So I thought, let me restore the menu to it's original position after they move it:

pbm_tbnmoved should do the trick I thought?

But, I've added the event to my main menu and added a messagebox to it: never executes as it seems.

Anyone any info about this? When does the pbm_tbnmoved event fire?

TIA,

Miguel

Hi Miguel;

   It's easier than that ... just disable toolbar control in your Application Object.

For example:

  • Application   lo_app
    lo_app    =    GetApplication ( )
    lo_app.toolbarusercontrol = FALSE

HTH

Regards ... Chris

Hi Miguel ... Yes, I had to post that as soon as I saw the thread as you guys were taking the "long & hard route" to solving this simple question. I thought it kind to give you the easy way. ;-)

Hi, Miguel -

I think the pbm_tbnmoved might fire when the position of a Toolbar ButtoN is changed. There are several TBN_xxxxx notifications defined in the Windows API and they seem to all relate to toolbar buttons. Interestingly, there does not appear to be a TBN_MOVED notification message, so that is probably an event created and managed by PB.

Regards, John

My above response is not correct.

Look at the PB Help topic named "ToolbarMoved (PowerScript event).

PB issues the pbm_tbnmoved event to the MDI frame window.



Also look at the GetToolbar and GetToolbarPos PowerScript functions.

Hi John, thanks for your information on this. It makes the event pretty useless:

- not triggered for sheet windows

- only triggered when you use SetToolbarPos(), so you already know it's being moved, since you're the one doing it and not the user.

It would be nice if triggered when a user drags a toolbar around with the mouse, but it doesn't.



Thanks!
