[flexcoders] ControlBar not visible in Flex 4.6
I have an app originally developed in Flex 3.3, which I'm in the process of migrating to Flex 4.6. I don't want to have to rewrite everything using Spark components and containers. I have a mx.containers.TitleWindow with a mx.containers.ControlBar added as the last child. It shows up as expected in Flex 3.3, but it's not there in Flex 4.6. Does anyone know what I need to do to get it to show up in Flex 4.6, without rewriting everything using Spark components? I tried compiling with the halo theme, but that didn't work.

Re: [flexcoders] ControlBar not visible in Flex 4.6
Alex, Thanks very much for responding, however, I've figured it out. I was adding my control bar as the last child in the constructor of my class, which subclasses TitleWindow. That triggered a call to Panel.createComponentsFromDescriptors(). That called Panel.setControlBar(myControlBar) as it should, and removed the controlBar from the container's regular child list and added it to the rawChildren. Since this happens in the constructor, my class is not yet added to the display list. After my class instance is added to the display list, the Panel.createChildren() method gets called, which again calls createComponentsFromDescriptors(). This time, since the last container child was not a ControlBar, it calls setControlBar(null). The fix was to add the control bar as a child in my class's createChildren() method, after super.createChildren() has been called. This is a Flex bug, IMHO.

You need to put your stuff inside controlBarContent array.

I'm using a subclass of mx.containers.Panel. There is no controlBarContent array.
