XbpToolBarButton() objects can only be added to XbpToolBar() objects, not to XbpWindow():DrawingArea objects. The individual XbpToolBarButton() objects are managed by the XbpToolBar() object, which is simply a wrapper for the ActiveX Toolbar class defined in the MS Windows Common Controls (Version 6) in MSComCtl.ocx and which has no options or feature to manually size or position individual buttons. You can only define the (default) size (height and width) of (all) buttons. If you need a different behavior, you need to create your own ToolBar class, and some corresponding ToolBarButtons. Also, there might be some 3rd-party add-on products that have such ToolBars and the corresponding ToolBarButtons already implemented.

Carlos,

>Please, how can I centralize the XbpToolBar buttons in the :drawingArea?

XbpToolBarButton() objects can only be added to XbpToolBar() objects, not to 
XbpWindow():DrawingArea objects. 

The individual XbpToolBarButton() objects are managed by the XbpToolBar() 
object, which is simply a wrapper for the ActiveX Toolbar class defined in 
the MS Windows Common Controls (Version 6) in MSComCtl.ocx and which has no 
options or feature to manually size or position individual buttons. You can 
only define the (default) size (height and width) of (all) buttons.

If you need a different behavior, you need to create your own ToolBar class, 
and some corresponding ToolBarButtons.

Also, there might be some 3rd-party add-on products that have such ToolBars 
and the corresponding ToolBarButtons already implemented.

Hope that helps,

Andreas
