Pane.ButtonLocation - Bars for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 18 years ago by Reinhardt Software GmbH - Reinhardt Software GmbH

Version: 2.0.81

Hello,

I want to store the settings of the Navigation Bar, especially which buttons are switched on/off by the user using the Options dialog.

When starting the application I want exactly the same buttons visible or hidden.

I can figure out which buttons are visible when saving the settings with Pane.ButtonLocation (Bar/none).
I can't set this Property (read Only). How can I add Panes/Buttons to the Bar and have them switched off initially.

Thanks and best regards

Marc

Hi Marc,

Actually the latest builds have a way for NavigationBar to save/load its layout data. See the the LayoutData, LoadLayoutFromFile, and SaveLayoutToFile members. That's probably what you want.

I saw that but that is not exactly what I need. The available buttons may change if user rights change so loading an
old layout is not enough. I really need to be able to make Panes/Buttons visible or hidden by code.

Any ideas ?

best regards

Ahh well you can set the NavigationPane.Active property via code.

Thanks so much,I can't explain why i missed that property. I was checking all properties and methods over and over again.
Sometimes things are so simple as they should be. Thanks again.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 7 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
