Making the ToolBar Appear Like the Default Toolbar in Internet Explorer(IE)

In This Topic

This topic demonstrates how to make the C1ToolBar appear like the default toolbar in IE by using the ButtonLookFlags enumeration. The ButtonLookFlags enumeration contains the parameters: Text, TextAndImage, Image, and Default. These parameters give you the ability to modify your toolbar button to show text, text and an image, or just an image.

The following code demonstrates how you can make the C1ToolBar appear like the default toolbar in IE. The following example uses all of the parameters (TextAndImage, Image, Default, and Text) contained in the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the C1ToolBar appear similar to the IE toolbar:

Create the first toolbar button and make it appear as an image. The following code shows you how to use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as an image:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Dim ch As C1CommandHolder = C1CommandHolder.CreateCommandHolder(Me) Dim tb As New C1ToolBar() Me.Controls.Add(tb) tb.CommandHolder = ch Dim cNew As New C1Command() Dim cl As C1CommandLink cNew.Text = "New" cNew.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\Images\New.bmp") cl = New C1CommandLink(cNew) tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl) 'Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as an image cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Image

Visual Basic

Copy Code

Dim ch As C1CommandHolder = C1CommandHolder.CreateCommandHolder(Me)
Dim tb As New C1ToolBar()
Me.Controls.Add(tb)
tb.CommandHolder = ch
Dim cNew As New C1Command()
Dim cl As C1CommandLink
cNew.Text = "New"
cNew.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\Images\New.bmp")
cl = New C1CommandLink(cNew)
tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl)
'Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as an image
cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Image

C#	Copy Code
C1CommandHolder ch = C1CommandHolder.CreateCommandHolder(this); C1ToolBar tb = new C1ToolBar(); this.Controls.Add(tb); tb.CommandHolder = ch; C1Command cNew = new C1Command(); cNew.Text = " New "; cl = new C1CommandLink(cNew); tb.Commandlinks.Add(cl); //Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as an image cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Image;

Copy Code

C1CommandHolder ch = C1CommandHolder.CreateCommandHolder(this);
C1ToolBar tb = new C1ToolBar();
this.Controls.Add(tb);
tb.CommandHolder = ch;
C1Command cNew = new C1Command();
cNew.Text = " New ";
cl = new C1CommandLink(cNew);
tb.Commandlinks.Add(cl);
//Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as an image
cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Image;

Create a second toolbar button and make it appear as text and image. The following code shows you how to use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as text and an image:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Dim cOpen As New C1Command() cOpen.Text = "Open" cl = New C1CommandLink(cOpen) cOpen.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\Images\FileOpen.bmp") tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl) 'Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as text and an image cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.TextAndImage

Visual Basic

Copy Code

Dim cOpen As New C1Command()
cOpen.Text = "Open"
cl = New C1CommandLink(cOpen)
cOpen.Image =  System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\Images\FileOpen.bmp")
tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl)
'Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as text and an image
cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.TextAndImage

C#	Copy Code
C1Command cOpen = new C1Command(); cOpen.Text = "Open"; cl = new C1CommandLink(cOpen); cOpen.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\Images\FileOpen.bmp"); tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl); //Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as text and an image cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.TextAndImage;

Copy Code

C1Command cOpen = new C1Command();
cOpen.Text = "Open";
cl = new C1CommandLink(cOpen);
cOpen.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\Images\FileOpen.bmp");
tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl);
//Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as text and an image
cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.TextAndImage;

Create a third toolbar button and make it appear as the default appearance. The following code shows you how to use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as the default appearance:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Dim cSave As New C1Command() cSave.Text = "Save" cl = New C1CommandLink(cSave) tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl) cSave.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\Images\FileSave.bmp") 'Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as default cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Default

Visual Basic

Copy Code

Dim cSave As New C1Command()
cSave.Text = "Save"
cl = New C1CommandLink(cSave)
tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl)
cSave.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\Images\FileSave.bmp")
'Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as default
cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Default

C#	Copy Code
C1Command cSave = new C1Command(); cSave.Text = "Save"; cl = new C1CommandLink(cSave); tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl); cSave.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\Images\FileSave.bmp") //Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as default cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Default;

Copy Code

C1Command cSave = new C1Command();
cSave.Text = "Save";
cl = new C1CommandLink(cSave);
tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl);
cSave.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\Images\FileSave.bmp")
//Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as default
cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Default;

Create a fourth toolbar button and make it appear as text. The following code shows you how to use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as text:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Dim cFavorites As New C1Command() cFavorites.Text = "Favorites" cl = New C1CommandLink(cFavorites) tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl) 'Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as text cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Text

Visual Basic

Copy Code

Dim cFavorites As New C1Command()
cFavorites.Text = "Favorites"
cl = New C1CommandLink(cFavorites)
tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl)
'Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as text
cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Text

C#	Copy Code
C1Command cFavorites = new C1Command(); cFavorites.Text = "Save"; cl = new C1CommandLink(cFavorites); tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl); //Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as text cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Text;

Copy Code

C1Command cFavorites = new C1Command();
cFavorites.Text = "Save";
cl = new C1CommandLink(cFavorites);
tb.CommandLinks.Add(cl);
//Use the ButtonLookFlags enumeration to make the toolbar button appear as text
cl.ButtonLook = ButtonLookFlags.Text;

Save and run your application. Your C1ToolBar will appear similar to the following toolbar:

Note: Your toolbar images will appear different from the toolbar images in this image. The first, second, third, and fourth toolbar buttons are shown as an image, text and image, default, and text, respectively.
