Re: IDE PushButton Placement
Ok, you need at least 3 things to put a button into a ReBar:
1. ReBar
2. ReBarBand
3. ToolBar or FlatToolBar
After that you can drop in a PushButton or whatever, the reason the Button
expands in the ReBar
is because that is the nature of the beast and it thinks you're going to drop
more controls into
the button. I believe the reason your button always comes out square is due to
Windows and not
Win32Lib, but I could be wrong.
IMHO ReBars and FlatToolBars need some more improvement before they can be
used through
Win32Lib and the IDE. Personally, I've been designing my own ToolBar2 control,
it's really
simple but it gets the job done, and it's alot more flexible. Search for Axiom
Editor in the
Archive if you want to see it, and if people like it, I may release it as a
separate control.
(Derek says he's working on custom controls for Win32Lib, so I've been waiting
for that to
totally perfect any of my custom controls.)

Subject: IDE PushButton Placement
If I put a button on a Flat Toolbar, it doesn't matter what shape I make it,
the running dialog always shows a square button. If this is set-in-concrete
behavior, then at least have the IDE show the un-resizeable size of the
button.
What exactly are ReBars? Are those just moveable button bars? If I put a
button on a ReBar, the button expands right to fill up the bar instead of
maintaining the shape I set it in the IDE. Is that expected behavior?
I put a flat toolbar down, then wondered what would happen if I added a
rebar item above it (giving me two button bars). Well, that screwed
everything up such that I had to start over... I kept getting the "Msg 197"
message, "ToolBar/FTB index not found."
