Creating a Toolbar

[MG]

Hi

I am using Project 2000 and want to create a toolbar that shows only in a specific template, not in other project files or in the global mpt.
Is this possible?

 

[Rob Schneider]

Yes, this is possible. Look at the Menu: Tools/Organizer dialog box.
Shows how you can move around a whole host of "things", including Toolbars.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

I have used the Organizer to try and achieve this, however, when I create the toolbar and copy it to the template, the toolbar is still showing in the Global.mpt in the Organizer and is turned on in any other project files I create. If I remove it from the Global.mpt it is also removed from the Template.

Any other suggestions.

 

[Rob Schneider]

Humm... maybe my recollection is wrong and that templates can't contain
Toolbars? (although that would be surprising). I don't have access to
the doc's here. Perhaps check the documentation about templates to
ensure they can hold Toolbars. I know mpp files can. Have you saved
the template and global mpt file before any testing?

Hi Rob,

Sure any file can contain a toolbar... but I never succeeded in SHOWING one
that isn't present in the Global as well

Sadly, I concur :-(
Got to be in the global.mpt to show it

you can put code in the project open event that can move the toolbar to
global mpt and in the close event that will remove it...

Private Sub Project_Open(ByVal pj As Project)
organizermoveitem...'move the toolbar...
End Sub

Gee. Unexpected. Thanks for the catch.
