Expanding Toolbar to hold more Components

rbuser

Hi,

When registering a new component on a Toolbar (ppRegisterComponent), the
toolbar stays the same size as before, thus hiding one of the default
components in order to make place for the new one.
How do I get over this?

Using RBuilder 6.03, descending from TppRegion.

Hi Jack,

It should expand. Did you unregister a component? The register call contains
the position where the component should go in the toolbar. I also have a
region descendent to play with. What does you register call look like- I can
try it on mine to see what happens.

This is my register call:
ppRegisterComponent(TVarAwareRegion, 'Advanced Components', 10, 0,
'VarAwareRegion', HInstance);

I do not unRegister any other component, (do I have to).

Sorry for the delay. The only thing I can think of is that you do not have
ppCTDsgn in your uses clause. Adding this adds crosstab support to the
designer at runtime. This would mean that the new region component shows up
inthe place where the crosstab component normally shows up. When I add
ppCTDsgn, the new region adds itself to the right of the crosstab, using
your register call.

Thanks, that did the trick.
