PageLayoutControl containing today’s date.
Customizing the ToolbarControl
In addition to adding control commands and tools to the ToolbarControl in the
Form_Load event, you can also add them by customizing the ToolbarControl and
using the Customize dialog box. To do this you will place the ToolbarControl in
customize mode and display the Customize dialog box.
1. Add the following code to the general declarations area of the form:
Option Explicit
Private m_pToolbarMenu As IToolbarMenu
Private m_pEnvelope As IEnvelope
Private m_pFillSymbol As IFillSymbol
Private WithEvents m_pTransformEvents As DisplayTransformation
Private WithEvents m_pCustomizeDialogEvents As CustomizeDialog
' The customize dialog events
Private m_pCustomizeDialog As ICustomizeDialog
' The customize dialog box
used by the ToolbarControl
2. Add a new subroutine called CreateCustomizeDialog and add the following code
to it. This is where you will create the Customize dialog box. Add the following
code to the subroutine:
Private Sub CreateCustomizeDialog()
Set m_pCustomizeDialog = New CustomizeDialog
Set m_pCustomizeDialogEvents = m_pCustomizeDialog
' Set the title.
m_pCustomizeDialog.DialogTitle = "Customize ToolbarControl Items"
' Show the Add from File button.
