Hi,

How do I get the toolbar button captions to appear on the right of the button image? When I enable ShowCaptions, they always appear below the images. What I want, is like what can be seen in a Delphi app - see attached screenshots.

Also, how to I centre the image in the toolbar button height? As you can see from the Lazarus screenshot, the images appear in the top/left of the button.

I'm using Lazarus (trunk) with FPC 2.6.0

Cheers,
Graeme.

If you use TSpeedButton, just set button.Layout:= blGlyphLeft
and button.ShowCaption:= True;

On Windows they are automatically centred. Is this a GTK oddity?

TToolbar and TToolButton doesn't seem to have such options - I thought captions and glyphs were common in toolbars these days. :-(

Anyway, I replaced TToolbar with a TBevel and TSpeedButton's. Now I have the desired look, thanks.

I guess just another widgetset bug.
