Toolbartext

[Rudolf Furstauer]

What am I doing wrong?

If I create an application less than 1024x600 pixels,
the toolbar is displayed on a Netbook(10" 1024x600)without text.
When I start the same application on a monitor with 1280x1024 or greater,
the Toolbar is displayed properly with text.

Other applications display correctly on the netbook.
Only applications designed with FF3 show this behavior.

Thank's for Help

I believe that I saw code in a PB example (the editor sample code maybe?) that would test for screen resolution prior to allowing the text captions to display.

I just checked the code output of one of my applications and here is what is generated for toolbar text captions:

Code Select Expand


    ' Add text descriptions only if running a 'hi-res' screen
    If GetSystemMetrics( %SM_CXFULLSCREEN ) >= 1024 Then
       FLY_TBstring = "Home" & $Nul _
       & "Customers" & $Nul _
       & "Suppliers" & $Nul _
       & "General" & $Nul _
       & "Sales" & $Nul _
       & "Purchases" & $Nul _
       & "Inventory" & $Nul _
       & "Projects" & $Nul _
       & "Payroll" & $Nul _
       & $Nul
       SendMessage FLY_hToolbar, %TB_ADDSTRING, 0, StrPtr(FLY_TBstring)
    End If


I can certainly remove that screen resolution test. I'll do so for v3.08.

Yeah, doing web/browser work, I haven't seen many screens smaller than that lately anyway.
