Tool bar not working in 8.0.2

Postby jackiezachman » Wed Jun 02, 2010 12:40 pm

I just upgraded to 8.0.2 and when I press any of the icons on the toolbar, nothing happens. This is true for all browser windows including the Transcript window. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hello,

Some mice have an issue with the native toolbar. You can:

1. Double click on the toolbar button to activate it.

. . . or:

2. Select 'Transcript -> Options -> Use Emulated Toolbar'.

Oddly, this bug is now present in 8.0 as well, it used to work. I reported these native toolbar problems in February 2009:

  • Native toolbar check button and radio button styles require double-click to activate.
  • Separators are not visible.
  • Making a native toolbar button insensitive does not work.

I haven't installed 8.0.2, but in 8.0 WindowBuilder, unchecking the Sensitive checkbox for a native toolbar button results in a walkback, losing work.

Hello,

I installed VA 7.5.2 and the toolbar example is 'CwToolbarExample' in the 'CwControlExamples' app. The buttons were/are not flat in that example and I suspect they became flat when windows themes was enabled on XP.

I modified the manifest file to enable themes but the image could not open. I suspect when XP got theme support, single clicks stopped working.
