[Gambas-devel] Question about _DrawWith

[Robert Rowe]

Thanks for the info. I rewrote it as you described and it did not cause 
an error but it didn't seem to do anything.

Public Const _DrawWith As String = "uctoolbar"

I surmise this is because the IDE didn't have my toolbar loaded. I went 
ahead and removed it as you suggested.

By the way, try typing _dr. You will see that the IDE does show an auto 
complete list but _DrawWith isn't on the list.

Have you had a chance to work on the action class any? I'm in a holding 
pattern with my toolbar until the action class is written.
