ToolBar as Ctrl not as Frame [BUG?] [message #6027]

Is it possible to use a Toolbar as Ctrl and not as Frame?

I have two toolbars in my app - one as Frame working with no Problems and one as Ctrl, resized by TopWindow::Layout function and hidden and shown, too.

But the only thing i see is the BlackFrame() i gave it to check wether the second toolbar is there.

everything is drawn well if i change the line "Add(toolbar);" to "AddFrame(toolbar);"

Any Hints?

thanks,
Bas

Found the Problem:

you need to refresh the layout because then the toolbar will be drawn - this is automagically called when the toolbar is used as Frame.

Why isn't Layout called when added to a Ctrl or when Repositioned (SetPos)?

is there a nicer solution instead of calling either RefreshLayoutDeep() or toolbar.RefreshLayout() ?

A solution could be to add RefreshLayout in the function ParentChanged(), or wouldn't that help?

Well, looks like a bug (perhaps nobody tried toolbar as Ctrl yet). Can you post a simple test package?

Well, this way of adding items works only for (popup) menu. ToolBar needs to be Set:

void ToolBarAsCtrl::MyBar(Bar& tb)
{
	tb.Add("Test",ToolBarImg::heart(),THISBACK(DoNothing));
}

ToolBarAsCtrl::ToolBarAsCtrl()
{
	CtrlLayout(*this, "Window title");
	tb.SetRect(10,10,200,50);
	Add(tb);
	tb.Set(THISBACK(MyBar));
	//in 3 seconds you will see the button
//	SetTimeCallback(3000,THISBACK(ShowToolBarButtons));
}

(hopefully, I am finishing Bar docs right now...)
