CVI8: TOOLBAR_VAL_NEW_STYLE

[CVI-User]

What does/should TOOLBAR_VAL_NEW_STYLE do? I assume it changes the look to the style CVI8 itself has but I can't see a change when I use it.
Or is this just a demo issue?

The canges are minor, and not easy to see. When you move your mouse over the single toolbar buttons, the graphical annimation is a little bit different depending on the Attribute.

Now you mention it - a bit disappointing...
Is the new toolbar look somehow else available for own programs?

You can use this new toolbar for CVI apps from 8.0 onwards. See the example under ..\CVI\samples\userint\custctrl\toolbar.

The new look of the toolbar is on by default. If you do not set the style, the style you get is (TOOLBAR_VAL_FLAT | TOOLBAR_VAL_NEW_STYLE). If you want the old look, do not bitwise or in the new style constant when you set the style. The default style is the same style used by the CVI environment.

I should also point out that to get the full benefit of the new toolbar style, you have to use images with a transparent background (via a transparency mask or alpha channel).

Hope this helps,
