ToolBar Buttons

I have created a tool bar with serveral buttons on it.
I need to operate a button, from a routine how is the call made ?

Thanks James

Hi,
You can start by double-clicking your toolbar. This will bring up the default "Click" command, which is

private Sub Toolbar1_ButtonClick(byval Button as MSComctlLib.Button)



Next, you can check which button has been clicked by putting in a "Select Case" statement. For example, I have 2 buttons on my toolbar, so this is my select statement

Select Case Button.Index > 0
Case Button.Index = 1 'Buttons start from index of 1
'Do something
Msgbox "First button"
else
'Do something else
Msgbox "2nd button"
End select




And that is how you code your toolbar! Hope that this helps...

Cheers,

Sorry this is not what I ment I have that bit working fine.
What I need to do is call button from a different routine, not from actually pressing the button.

I have a button group containing two buttons one starts my program and one stops it. If an error occurs I need to stop the program therefore calling that stop button. So some how I need to call that routine with the right index specified.

I tryed

Toolbar1_ButtonClick(2) 'Call rotine with index = 2




but got a type mismatch

Please help if you can.
Thanks

Sorry mate...
I'm not so sure about this one... but I do know that it is best to put your "Cancel" routine in a separate sub of your own. This is useful when somewhere else in your program needs this "Cancel" routine in the future.
Otherwise, you can put an additional Button on a form and put some code into it. Make the button "invisible" (Command1.Visible = False). So, if you do need to get out, just call this button's "Command1_Click" routine... it works fine for me...
Hope that this suggestion helps...

Hello again!!
Got a solution from another mate. Anyway, your problem comes from not using the "Call" statement. According to my friend, sometimes, calling a subroutine without the call statement causes an error.
Anyway, here is a portion of the code...

call Toolbar1_ButtonClick(Toolbar1.Buttons.Item(2))



Hope that this helps...
(Thanks to chyow for this...) =)
Cheers,

This one of those quircks of Vb syntax.

You can call an event procedure like you are trying.

Dont include the braces: ie

'either just
Toolbar_Click 2
'or
Call Toolbar_Click(2)
