Perforated Tape Toolbar

Introduction

This is an alternative to the standard toolbar control. To use it, just replace your CToolBar objects with CTapeToolBar objects - easy as that!

When you call CTapeToolBar::SetTape() the toolbar is transformed into a ticker-tape style toolbar, with moving perforations and toolbar buttons.

Why would you use it?

No - the question is "why would you not use it". Sure - it may not be the most practical toolbar, with users having to chase the buttons across the bar - but it does look very cool.

CTapeToolBar has the following methods:

// Set/Get the width of the perforations
void SetPerfWidth(int iPerfWidth = DEFPERFWIDTH);
int GetPerfWidth();

// Set/Gets the time between button movements (milliseconds)
void SetTapeTimeOut(int iTapeTimeOut = DEFTAPETIMEOUT);
int GetTapeTimeOut();

// Set/Gets the time between perforation movements (milliseconds)
void SetPerfTimeOut(int iPerfTimeOut = DEFPERFTIMEOUT);
int GetPerfTimeOut();

// Set/Get the distance between perforations
void SetPerfInt(int iInt = DEFPERFINTERVAL);
int GetPerfInt();

// Set/Get the whether the toolbar is normal or "taped"
BOOL GetTape();
void SetTape(BOOL bTape = TRUE);
