How to setup KillerToolBar in THREE easy steps

After adding a KillerToolBar Control to your window by dragging a canvas there and changing its Super to “KillerToolBar”, do the following…
(The following assumes that you’ve named your toolbar “KillerToolBar1″)

STEP ONE:

First you will need to initialize the toolbar by calling the “Setup” procedure. The parameters for the Setup procedure are outlined below:

dim strName as string = "MyKillerToolbar" '// The name which will be displayed in the "Customize" window title.
dim intX as Integer = 0 '// The X position of the toolbar on the window.
dim intY as Integer = 0 '// The Y position of the toolbar on the window.
dim intWidth as Integer = self.Width '// The width of the toolbar in pixels.
dim intHeight as Integer = 100 '// The height of the toolbar in pixels.
dim blnVert as Boolean = False '// Whether the toolbar will be vertical or horizontal (True = Vertical).
dim ktbButtonStyle as KTBStyle = new KTBStyleFudge '// The appearance of the buttons as defined by a class derived from the KTBStyle interface.
dim ktbToolbarStyle as Integer = 0 '// Determines the display type for the buttons, such as "Big Icons with labels", etc.
dim blnPref as Boolean = False '// True means this a preferences toolbar, and will not be customizable.  All buttons will be grouped together.
dim intIconSize as Integer = 32 '// The size of the icon.  KTB will automatically scale provided images to match this value.
 
KillerToolBar1.Setup(strName,intX,intY,intWidth,intHeight,blnVert,ktbButtonStyle,intToolbarStyle,blnPref,intIconSize)

STEP TWO:

Create as many buttons, controls or spacers as you like for your KillerToolBar:

dim strName as String = "SomeName" '// A name for the button. Used to see which button was pressed, so make this unique!
dim strCaption As String = "Save" '// The text that appears below / alongside the button
dim strHelpTag As String = "Save the current document" '// The help tag text
dim pIcon As Picture = SaveIcon '// The picture to use as the button image
dim pIconMask As Picture = SaveIconMask '// The mask for the above, or if the above contains a composite mask just use the same picture here
dim pIcon16 As Picture = SaveIcon16 '// A 16x16px image for the button, or if you don’t have one just use the same as theIcon and KillerToolBar will make one from that
dim blnVisible As Boolean = True '// Should this button be visible by default? If not, it will appear in the “Available Buttons” list in the “Customize” window…
dim blnEnabled As Boolean = True '// Should this button be enabled by default?
dim mnuMenu As MenuItem '// Drop down menu for the button. If none, use nil
dim ctlControl As RectControl = TextField1 '// A RectControl for the button – e.g. an EditField
dim blnStretch As Boolean = False '// In a horizontal toolbar, if set to true will Stretch the above control to available space. Note: Only one control can be stretched.
 
KillerToolBar1.CreateButton(strName,strCaption,strHelpTag,pIcon,pIconMask,pIcon16,pIconMask16,blnVisible,blnEnabled,mnuMenu)
KillerToolBar1.CreateControl(strName,strCaption,strHelpTag,blnVisible,ctlControl,blnStretch)
KillerToolBar1.CreateSpacer(blnVisible)

STEP THREE:

Call the “Update” procedure to finish setting up your KillerToolBar:

KillerToolBar1.Update

And that’s IT!!

Extra:

Additionally, to make things pretty, you may add the following line to your Window’s DEACTIVATE Event:

KillerToolBar1.LostFocus(true)

And this one in your Window’s ACTIVATE Event:

KillerToolBar1.LostFocus(false)
