Dimmed Toolbar problem in CVI8.0

[Sanyi1939]

Hello,

I have developed in CVI 6.0 a software which contain a toolbar.
Some button are in dimmed state. This worked up to day when I
installed the CVI8.0 version. In dimmed state there is no a dimmed
icon (it is empty gray), but in active state the icon is correct.
I had to reinstall Windows XP again and CVI6.0 to have the control on
toolbar for using (not install the CVI8.0) the:

Toolbar_DimItem(hToolbar, iNoInternetTb, 1);

function. The same time in the CVI development environment the own
toolbar buttons in dimmed state showing "dimmed" icons!

Can you help me, what is the problem?

Thanks,
Sandor

Installing 8.0.1 should fix it.

of the version 8.0.1 does not help!!!

Hello Sandor,

the default value of the button image size changed from 18 pixel (CVI V7.1) to 16 pixel (CVI 8.0)

Use the function :

Toolbar_SetAttribute (tbMain, TOOLBAR_ATTR_BUTTON_IMAGE_SIZE, 18);

to set the image size back to 18 pixel or whatever your image size is.
This fixed the problem in my application.

Good luck,

Greg

Hello Greg,

Thank you for the Toolbar_SetAttribute command, but
the problem is exist. In the CVI Ver 6.0 there is not
TOOLBAR_ATTR_BUTTON_IMAGE_SIZE
attribute. This is acceptable, it is too old CVI!
OK, but I have inserted the proposed command
into my old source code under the ver 8.0.1
and the picture was the same, so I have not
dimmed toolbar button!
