  • Don- OK let me give it a try.
  • Don - Yes OI 9. Can I drag and drop onto the OLE Ribbon control? If so, that might indeed a much better solution.
  • Fixed. It was resolution and probably scale dependent. I had the OLE ribbon control up at the top of the window, above the mdi frame. On my system it did not cause an issue, however with different resolutions this control would overwrite the text …
  • Kind of, I had looked at that (and used it before). However, this gives me something that looks like this What I want is something that looks like this: Maybe I have to call the Win API directly to get this modern file open dialog? I was hop…
  • I am giving Andy a new update from my system; it only happens with his OI setup. I have tried on my end to reproduce it and cannot.
  • Confirmed, he is running Windows 10.
  • Yes, the text in the title bar is clipped at the bottom. There are also two lines above the text that I have no idea where they come from. I just tried to reproduce on a second system here (both my machies run Windows 11) and both my machines lo…
  • Jared, Yes, we would be interested in seeing a demonstration. Could you contact Andy Gilman , andygilman@waterloo-software.com he is expecting an email from you.
  • Thank you that helps.
  • Thanks Frank, I thought that was Kevin replying.
  • Perfect thanks Kevin, that's what I will do.
  • I have tried 1x 2x 3x and 4x and all seem to look the same (or at least on my monitor they look the same) should I just use 4x? Or would 1x be the best choice?
  • After looking at the sample file, I found the following. 1x 16x16 small. 32x32 large. 2x 32x32 small. 64x64 large. 3x 48x48 small. 96x96 large. 4x 64x64 small. 128x128 large.
  • My co-worker likes this vector set: https://axialis.com/icongenerator/stock-icons/office-pro/ If I was to use this set which icons, should I use for the ribbon? It has choices of 1x 2x 3x 4x and large and small with in each of those. Thanks for the…
  • OK, I'll go with the Pure Flat ones.
  • This would work https://axialis.com/stock-icons/ribbon-toolbar.html#database_set right?
  • Thanks Don, I will take a look at these.
  • Ah OK, the OLE control was on top of the ribbon that was drawn, and was causing the ribbon to be missing the piece underneath the OLE control. I have moved it up and out of the way instead.
  • I am an idiot, I had not named the ribbon control, it was using the default name. It positions correctly now. Another issue however, if I open the ribbon controls properties in FormDes and set its visible property to unchecked FormDes crashes. If …
  • Kevin, Many thanks for the new ocx, that works perfectly.

  • OK, I'll try this later. Got to solve a customer issue first. Thanks for the help.

  • Correct that is from form designer. You can see the status bar has jumped up from the bottom. The screenshot below is from the app running. In the below code, new_size = old_size, it didn't move. Set_Position_of_Control: ***********************…

  • Here is what is happening. I removed the ribbon control. I then sized the mdiclient and OLE status control, such that the status control was at the very bottom of the form and the mdiclient used everything from the top of the form to the status co…

  • Kevin, let me put an example together and I'll send it to you.

  • Thanks Kevin, for the toolbox fix.

  • Thanks Matt.

  • When I save the form, it moves the status control from the bottom of the form up from the bottom, hence the code you suggested does not work as the control is not positioned at the bottom of the form. Here is what I did, made sure status control i…

  • Ugh, it kind of drives me crazy.
    in MDICLIENT Comment by jimvaughan May 2024
  • OK, let me give that a try. Totally separate question, when in form designer 9.4 the control that shows the position and size of a control has the bottom cutoff, do you know of a fix for this?
    in MDICLIENT Comment by jimvaughan May 2024
  • Yes, bottom anchored.
