Add multiple controls to rebar band?

[Kip]

hey,

I'm exploring the new functions of autoit 3.2.10, but...

How can i add multiple controls to a Rebar band?

I know how to add buttons, but thats it. Thats the only object i can create with the toolbar UDF

Now I wanna create, lets say: 2 Combos, and 1 button in one band.

is it possible?

thnx, chicken in a bucket

(I thought something like this, but that creates 3 different bands:)

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GuiReBar.au3>


$GUI = Guicreate("Rebar Example",800,400)

$Bar = _GUICtrlReBar_Create($GUI,$CCS_TOP)

$Fonts = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Times new Roman",0,0,100,20)
$Size = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",0,0,30,20)
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"6|8|9|10|11|12|14|16|18|20|24|36|48|72","12")
$SetFont = GUICtrlCreateButton("Set",0,0,30,20)

_GUICtrlReBar_AddBand($Bar, $Fonts, 120, 300, "Font")
_GUICtrlReBar_AddBand($Bar, $Size, 120, 300, "Size")
_GUICtrlReBar_AddBand($Bar, $SetFont, 120, 300, "")

GUISetState()


While 1
     if GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd

A rebar can contain multiple bands, each band can contain only 1 control.

This contains multiple controls.

Maybe i should ask the question on a different way; How can i add multiple controls to a toolbar

$hReBar = _GUICtrlReBar_Create($hgui, $CCS_TOP)
$hToolbar = _GUICtrlToolBar_Create($hgui)
_GUICtrlToolbar_AddButton($hToolbar, $idNew, $STD_FILENEW)
_GUICtrlToolbar_AddButton($hToolbar, $idOpen, $STD_FILEOPEN)
_GUICtrlToolbar_AddButton($hToolbar, $idSave, $STD_FILESAVE)
_GUICtrlToolbar_AddButtonSep($hToolbar)
_GUICtrlToolbar_AddButton($hToolbar, $idHelp, $STD_HELP)
    
_GUICtrlReBar_AddToolBarBand($hReBar, $hToolbar, "", 0)

Adding buttons to a toolbar and adding controls to a rebar band are 2 totally different things.

You can create multiple toolbars, and add each one to a seperate band.

not "totally" different things

if you can add multiple controls to a toolbar, then you can add that toolbar to a band (_GUICtrlRebar_AddToolBarBand)

Yes totally different, the reason for a function like _GUICtrlRebar_AddToolBarBand is it does some calculations for you so you don't have to figure out where the band should end.

You can still only add 1 control per band.

From MSDN

About Rebar Controls

Rebar controls act as containers for child windows. An application assigns child windows, which are often other controls, to a rebar control band. Rebar controls contain one or more bands, and each band can have any combination of a gripper bar, a bitmap, a text label, and a child window. However, bands cannot contain more than one child window.
