Hiding toolbars

I am trying to hide a toolbar. If I use the visible property it does all hide except I still have a small cross next to where it should be - clicking this closes the addon. Is there any way to hide this or make it ready only?

Hello Ben,

In the manual - {Add-in Express}\Docs\adxie.pdf on your PC, we provide the following sample code: 

Showing/hiding an IE bar. The same approach is applicable for an IE toolbar.
'VB.NET
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports AddinExpress.IE
...
Dim flag As Boolean = False
Private Sub AdxieMenuItem1_OnClick(sender As System.Object, _
        eventObject As System.Object) _
        Handles AdxieMenuItem1.OnClick
    Dim dummy As Object = Nothing
    Dim show As Object = flag
    Dim guid As Object = Type.GetType("MyIEAddon1.MyIEBar1").GUID.ToString("B")
    IEApp.ShowBrowserBar(guid, show, dummy)
    flag = Not flag
End Sub


Hope this helps.

Thanks Andrei.

This causes the toolbar to not load. Is there anyway just to hide it but have it loaded?

Regards

Ben

Hi Ben,

No, it is not supported in IE. But you can use advanced bars instead of general IE toolbars. Advanced bars are supported in BHO projects (ADX IE Add-on) and they are loaded when IE starts.
