CXTPControlPopupColor icon not redrawn

Hello,

see

XTPImageManager()->SetIcon(..)

XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(..)

I need to get this resolved soon.  I'll post here and see if it gets worked out over the weekend.  Otherwise, I'll submit a tech support incident on Monday.

I tried using SetIcon and SetIcons today.  Neither helps because the GetImageManager() returns a new instance of an image manager every time it is called.  Even if I set the Icon in the image manager it doesn't matter because the image manager instance isn't saved by the control.  Later when SetColor calls GetImageManager it gets yet another new instance.

The CXTPControlPopupColor control fails for two reasons:

1.  The IconId for the control is not set anywhere.  I'm not sure what this is supposed to be.  I thought it would be the ID of the icon that is to be used on the button.  When I look inside of the SetColor method though, it is looking up an entire set of Icons using this ID.  Anyway, this id is always 0.  I can call SetIconId on the control, but I am still baffled as to why I have to do this in my code, but it isn't done in the sample application. 

- One important note here is that my CXTPToolbar is a member of a CXTPDialog class, and CXTPControlPopupColor is being added to this toolbar.

2.   Even if I get an IconId set, the call to GetImageManager always returns a new instance.  See above.

Even if I can get an ImageManager, I'm not sure what ID I should be using for the Icon, what Icon I should set the control to (single Icon or some sort of set of icons)

If you could just provide some documentation or a "simple" example where this control is used it would be very helpful.

I have that sample, but it doesn't compile under Visual C++ 7.

1.  Can't include CodejockSample.h
FIXED in stdafx.h:
//#include "CodejockSample.h" // Replace it to "XTToolkitPro.h"
#include "XTToolkitPro.h"

2.  AboutDlg.h not found.
I commented it out, then several other errors popped up.  Perhaps you have a newer version that has the missing header file?

Also, that looks like it is a DialogView application, I'm trying to add the control to a CXTPToolbar in a dialog box not a dialog view.

Thanks,
Craig

aw crud... I thought I did try it.    I downloaded it, unzipped it, and then went to another dialog_sample I had downloaded that had a different date appended to the name.

Now that I'm working off the correct codebase from this thread it does compile.  I'll take a look at the code now.  Thanks for the help, and sorry about the mistake.

I've also since realized that a lot of my grief was due to the fact that I was trying to implement this popupcontrol extension in an MFC extension DLL.  Upon moving everything inside of my application project several of my troubles just dissapeared. 

I'll have to figure out how to modularize later.
