Toolbar size when restoring a perspective, and more tools?

[benedicte]

Hello,

Is it possible to make a toolbar larger than the size saved in the perspective, if it needs more space than when the perspective was saved?

I mean, I have an app with multiple toolbars, and I save the perspective when closing the app. But when reloading, I may have added tools to the toolbars (new version of the app), and I wish the toolbars to be resized so as to respect the needed size, without loosing the docking/position info.

Is it possible?

Regards,

Hello,

Yes. You can do this. After calling LoadPerspective(), iterate through all the panes and add whatever buffer space you need to the toolbar panes. You can identify the toolbar panes in many different ways: the first way is setting pane names that you know, the second way is calling wnd->IsKindOf(CLASSINFO(wxToolBar)) to identify your toolbars. Next, you can call GetMinSize from the toolbar, which should have adjusted it's minsize if you added controls. Finally, call frame manager's update.

All the best,
Ben
