Yeah. I spent weeks on my ribbon, and now my competitors will be able to do the same in a couple of minutes. Grrr! :)

I think this constructor is pretty ugly. I never understood why there is no CString(UINT nID) constructor. That would even make CString(0) and CString(NULL) ambigoius which I think would be a good thing because both are not valid. CString::CString(LPCTSTR lpsz) { Init(); if (lpsz != NULL && HIWORD(lpsz) == NULL) { UINT nID = LOWORD((DWORD)lpsz); } }
I like that one  _T() and _S()  But the primary reason for my post was that the XTP controls are cumbersome. I don't understand why Codejock doesn't get the basics done but instead works on a useless Ribbon designer. |

Don't waste your time writing wrappers for nothing ;)
CString str((LPCTSTR)IDS_STRING);
or, my personal favorite:
inline CString _S(UINT nID)
{
#ifdef _DEBUG
CString str;
ASSERT(str.LoadString(nID));
#else
return CString((LPCTSTR)nID);
#endif
}
foo(_S(IDS_STRING)); // Simple code :)

Wrote a little wrapper: class CStringResource : public CString { public: CStringResource(UINT nID) { VERIFY(LoadString(nID)); } }; |

I've changed some CButton to CXTPButton to get the Office 2007 look, but for each button the theme has be set at runtime, that's horrible. I would expect a CXTPDialog class with a SetTheme() method which then sets the theme of all child controls.
Also there is no CXTPListBox and CXTPComboBox. I would expect all common controls with the different themes. And last but not least could you please a SetWindowText(UINT nID); method which takes a string id? Thanks |
