XPMenus - Toolbar ordering

[Lori S. Pearsall]

I have 4 Toolbars (XPMenus.Bar) on a child MDI form - they are (with their associated MergeOrder) :

- Standard (0)
- TextEdit (1)
- Party (2)
- Event (3)

I would have expected the toolbars to be rendered in this order, but instead Party & Event are switched. Is there something else that controls this?

Please help - I''ve tried everything! I''ve set AutoLoadToolBarPositions to false thinking that I had the wrong order persisted on my machine, but that didn''t make a difference.

Hi Lori

a. The order of the ToolBars is based on the order it was created in the MainFramBarManager and then the ChildFrameBarManager.

So in the MainFrameBarManager if the order was ToolBar2, ToolBar1, ToolBar3 and ToolBar4, and in the ChildFrameBarManager the order is ToolBar1, ToolBar2, ToolBar3 and ToolBar4 the order of merged ToolBars will be:
ToolBar2, ToolBar1, ToolBar3 and ToolBar4.

b. The ToolBars in the ChildFrameBarManager do not have any position information during Design time and hence they will float and the merging is done as explained above.

c. The MergeOrder affects the ordering of the menu items in the merged ToolBars and it has no affect on the order of the ToolBars.

I hope this gives you a better understanding of what is happening. Is the behavior of your application consistent with the above explanation?
