Redawing of a commadnBar

[edv-rudrich]

Hi..

it#s a little frustrating to try to look behind the architecture of XCodeJock--

I need to change captions and group titles of a commandbar object on-the-fly..

CJAddControl does not allow the use of a codeblock as a caption, so I tried
to use variables instead and try to redraw the complete commandbar with
oCommanBar:RedrawBar()

This fails and error log says. Unknown method for this object..
Documentation of CodeJock says that there IS a method called Redrawbar..

Any help?

Tom -

Michael sent me a private email about this, but I didn't have a quick answer because I have spent so little time with Commandbars.

Thank you for doing my support for me again.

I'm down on the US/Mexico border this week, getting a lot more dental work done, so my wits are not with me at the moment. I had a root canal today and another on Wednesday. I'm glad I brought wine with me.

The temp here today is 85 degrees F.

Roger -

I wonder why the Method RedrawBar() crashes.. this should be a method
of the commandbar object like the documentation says..

Here's some code based on the sample from Chris which works. Calling a menu entry sets the caption of the SLE. Remember to change the version # of CJ.
