wxControl on Toolbar - How do I?

[Radzi]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert my application to use wxAUI. As a start, just trying with the toolbar. Stumbled upon the toolbar that contain wxComboBox. Code is as below:

wxToolBar *tBar2 = new wxToolBar(this, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxTB_NODIVIDER | wxTB_FLAT | wxTB_DOCKABLE | wxTB_TEXT);
tBar2->AddControl(new wxStaticText(tBar2, wxID_ANY, wxT(" Database ")));
m_comboBox = new wxComboBox(tBar2, ID_COMBO, wxT(""), wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(200,wxDefaultCoord) );
tBar2->AddControl(m_comboBox);
tBar2->Realize();
m_frameManager.AddPane(tBar2, wxPaneInfo().Name(wxT("Toolbar2")).Caption(wxT("ToolBar")).ToolbarPane() .Top().LeftDockable(false).RightDockable(false)
);


what shown on the toolbar is just first 2 character of the "Database".

Any way around this?

Thank you in advance. Hoping to experience the 'wow' of this great interface.


best regards,
Radzi.

Whilst it's probably possible to do this using a wxToolbar, I had lots of problems with them. Why not just create a wxPanel containing a wxBoxSizer of the orientation you want, and put your controls in that? Then wxAUI will make sure it docks correctly.

The problem is that the toolbar size measurement gets messed up with controls are added to it. As far as I know, this is wxToolBar's fault.

I, too, recommend that you try out a panel. We are working on a different toolbar solution internally. Maybe it will appear in one of the upcoming versions.

I can't add wxFrame to Toolbar.
