Small Toolbar Icons? SOLVED

[jeffp]

Is there a way to force the toolbar icons to display with small icons, instead of the large icons with text?

Hello Jeff,

What do you mean by small icons? The majority of our commands have 24*24 (that is default by the way) and 32*32 icon sizes. Some of them have 16*16, though this size is available only in half of the commands or so. What size are you implying to?

Cheers,
Alex

In the old ViewerX sdk all the toolbar icons were smaller and had not text.

I was just wondering if there was a way to force the Editor SDK toolbar icons to say 24x24 and not show the text below. The default seems to be 32x32 with a text caption below.

Some of my users like to conserve vertical real estate so they would prefer just small buttons with no text caption.

Does this make sense?

Hello Jeff,

Well, what can be done is this:

Code: Select all

PDFXEdit.IUIX_CmdCollection cmds = uiInst.CmdManager.Cmds;
uint cnt = cmds.Count;
for (uint i = 0; i < cnt; i++)
{
	PDFXEdit.IUIX_Cmd cmd = cmds[i];
	cmd.NewItemStyle |= cmd.NewItemStyle | (int)PDFXEdit.UIX_CmdItemStyleFlags.UIX_CmdItemStyle_HideTitle/* | (int)PDFXEdit.UIX_CmdItemStyleFlags.UIX_CmdItemStyle_HideTitleInMenu*/;
	cmd.NewItemStyleMaskEU |= cmd.NewItemStyleMaskEU | (int)PDFXEdit.UIX_CmdItemStyleFlags.UIX_CmdItemStyle_HideTitle/* | (int)PDFXEdit.UIX_CmdItemStyleFlags.UIX_CmdItemStyle_HideTitleInMenu*/;
}

Here's what I have in Delphi but it doesn't seem to hide the captions on the buttons.

Code: Select all

procedure TMyPDFControl.EnableSmallIcon(AEnable: Boolean);
var
  cmds: IUIX_CmdCollection;
  cmd: IUIX_Cmd;
  i, cnt: Integer;
begin
  cmds := INST_UIX.CmdManager.Cmds;
  cnt := cmds.Count;
  for i := 0 to cnt - 1 do
  begin
   cmd := cmds[i];
   cmd.NewItemStyle := cmd.NewItemStyle or UIX_CmdItemStyle_HideTitle;
   cmd.NewItemStyleMaskEU := cmd.NewItemStyleMaskEU or UIX_CmdItemStyle_HideTitle;
  end;
end;

Hello Jeff,

Please try executing that piece of code when the form loads (after the Control initialization).

Cheers,
Alex

[jeffp]

Not luck. I've tried running the code when the form loads and it doesn't change anything. Not sure if there is something wrong with my code or not.

Any other thoughts?

Hello Jeff,

We've investigated a little, and it seems that it's Delphi related. We will try to figure out the problem and will reply shortly.

Cheers,

[jeffp]

So am I the only Delphi developer on this board that gives you guys grief?

I at least try to post my code snippets in case there are others out there.

Hello Jeff,

Well there are several Deplhi developers here. It's normal to ask questions, because that's what this forum was created for. The original code is written on C++, that is 100% supported and will have the correct work in all of the cases. We tried to populate the SDK sample on the .Net, because right now it is widely used. Delphi is also being used, though sometimes it's behavior differs from the .Net one thus we need to investigate these matters. Like in this case - we suppose that .Net is sending some kind of event that forces our Control to update it's state thus all of the commands reload their state on start. Delphi is different in this matter - thus we have this problem that we are looking into now.

As to the small toolbar icon issue, would it be possible to add this as a User Preference in the Editor. This way, I wouldn't need to call it in code. I could just sent it and save it out to my default user preference file.

Hello Jeff,

We will discuss this on our meeting tomorrow. Meanwhile, try this piece of code - it should make make the command bar smaller along with icons:

Code: Select all

 FInst.ActiveMainView.CmdPaneTop.Item[1].BarSize := UIX_CmdBarSize_Normal;

Cheers,
Alex

[jeffp]

Perfect. That works.

But just out of curiosity what do

FInst.ActiveMainView.CmdPaneTop.Item[0]
FInst.ActiveMainView.CmdPaneTop.Item[2].

Refer to.

I don't think I would have known that

FInst.ActiveMainView.CmdPaneTop.Item[1]

was the main toolbar.

Hello Jeff,

Well that are the IDs of the command lines that you see at the top of the editor. 0 one, for example, is the MenuBar.

Cheers,
Alex

[jeffp]

Thanks.

I vote for adding this as an Editor preference too

[Sasha - Tracker Dev Team]

Hello Jeff,

Well there are ID's for them - for example, the command bar with 0 index is cmdbar.menubar. You can look into the FullDemo project for that.

Hello Jeff,

Please try executing this piece of code for the command's title hiding:

Code: Select all

uiInst.CmdManager.ExtraOpts |= 8; //hide titles

Cheers,
Alex

[jeffp]

Perfect. Thanks.

Looks like this will set it back

Code: Select all

uiInst.CmdManager.ExtraOpts |= 144; //Show titles

[Sasha - Tracker Dev Team]

Hello Jeff,

Well here's the interface that should be available for this:

Code: Select all

enum UIX_CmdExtraOpts
{
	UIX_CmdExtraOpt_HideTips				= 0x000000001,
	UIX_CmdExtraOpt_HideShortcutsInMenusAndTips = 0x000000002,
	UIX_CmdExtraOpt_HideIconsInMenus		= 0x000000004,
	UIX_CmdExtraOpt_HideLabelsInToolbars	= 0x000000008,
	UIX_CmdExtraOpt_LockAllBars				= 0x000000010,
	UIX_CmdExtraOpt_LockAllPanes			= 0x000000020,
	UIX_CmdExtraOpt_DisableAccels			= 0x000000040,
	UIX_CmdExtraOpt_DisableMenuCues			= 0x000000080,
}

Cheers,
Alex

[jeffp]

Perfect. Thanks.

But shouldn't these enums be listed in the PDFXEdit_TLB.pas file? They are not.

[Sasha - Tracker Dev Team]

Hello Jeff,

They will be from the next release.

Cheers,
Alex

[jeffp]

When is .322 going to be out?

[Sasha - Tracker Dev Team]

Hello Jeff,

It should be out in a month or so.

Cheers,
Alex
