Hello,
i try to place the text under the toolbar icons. That works and is standard in the IDE.
But on runtime the text is on the right side of the icons.
I read something from Caption = ChrB(08), but it doesn’t work.
I got only a unreadable sign.
What’s wrong?
Chrb = binary
Chr() is string
I know. But the text is still on the right side.
Who can help?
Dont use the Xojo IDE as an example. We created a custom toolbar using a canvas on Windows and Linux to be able to support dynamic spacing, just like macOS does. I believe what you are seeing is the native toolbar for the platform you are on.
Why using a Control character in your Caption string ? (ChrB(08))
Control-8 is a Backspace
That’s possible. I use the Xojo IDE. The menue doesn’t work in that case, so i have to use the toolbar. But it seems that this toolbar can’t be used? I tried for days to create a working toolbar. But i think it’s better to create a hand-made toolbar?
I deleted this rubbish toolbar and prepared my own one with a set of canvas, visual effects with mousemove, -down and -exit. That works pretty good and is free adjustable. With bevel buttons it doesn’t work properly. Different views on Linux / Windows and a border …
Peter: what worked in 2014 may no more work five years later
Back to your original question:

You are using a Control character (Backspace) in a String (as I already wrote).
At first, before reading ChrB(8), I wanted to ask if you used a \tab character in the Caption string, then I read the last block of text in the original question.
Now, maybe that trick was working with Xojo 2014
Have-you tested the Toolbar examples from the Example folder ?
