Hi,

 Why do some controls  implement the function SetImageList and some others do not ?

  How can I show XP icons in CXTPToolbar and CXTShortcutBar using the  CImageList that I use in other controls like CXTPTabControl ?

 Thank You

CImageList il;

// create image list with XP icons

//

// This works OK

CXTPTabControl.SetImageList( &il );

CXTPTaskPanel::SetImageList( &il );

// This shows a gray rectangle instead of the alpha layer...

CXTPToolBar::GetImageManager()->SetIcons( il, 0, 0, 0, xtpImageNormal);

CXTPShortcutBar::GetPaintManager()->SetIcons( il, 0, 0, 0, xtpImageNormal );

Hello,

Are you sure your alpha bitmap is valid? As you can see ShortcutBar sample show Alpha bitmaps without problem.

I suggest you don't use CImagList with alpha images because it supoprted only by WinXP, but to add directly alpha bitmap to image manager. 

CXTPImaegManager::SetIcons(IDB_BITMAP,...)

it supports alpha images for all OS.

Hi Oleg,

I know CXTPShortcutBar show alpha bitmaps, I'm also using XP.

The problem is that not all controls show the ImageList the same way.

Anyway I do not know how to convert a XP icon file( check "super.ico" in attach ) to xtreme alpha bitmaps, can you please help out ?

This screenshot shows the diferences

What version do you have? If 9.70 use

CXTPImageManager::SetIcon(nIDResourceIcon, nIDCommand) method to add alpha icon supported for all OS.

Anyway check attached converted Alpha bitmap

2005-08-31_141650_super.zip

Add it using

SetIcons(nIDResourceBitmap, pCommands, nCount);

Hi Oleg,

I have the latest 9.70.

I admit I did not explain well the "super.ico" example, it is the user that chooses the icon file not me. so I'm not able to insert it in the resource, because I do not know which icon to insert...I have to load it at runtime with LoadImage.

But what I don't understand is that some controls kind of like imagelist while some others don't. Why diferent behaviours ? If one control knows how to display XP icons loaded with LoadImage and then inserted in  ILC_COLOR32 image list, why some others do not ?

In the screenshot I send, you can see that TabControl, DockManager, and TaskPanel display the icon correctly while ToolBar and Shortcut bar don't.

Since I do not have this problem with Alpha bitmaps,

what I really need is something like this...

HICON h;

AlphaBitmap bitmap;

bitmap = ConvertIcon2AlphaBitmap( h );

Is there a function like this in the toolkit ?

 

André

You must say before, that you load it from file :)

Here some source you can use:

HBITMAP hBitmap = CXTPImageManagerIcon::LoadAlphaIcon(Path, 0);

 if (hBitmap)
 {
  SetIcon(hBitmap, Command, 0, (XTPImageState)imageState);

  DeleteObject(hBitmap);

 } else
 {
  HICON hIcon = (HICON)LoadImage(0, Path,
   IMAGE_ICON, 0, 0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION | LR_LOADFROMFILE);

  if (!hIcon)
   return;

  SetIcon(hIcon, Command, 0, (XTPImageState)imageState);

  DestroyIcon(hIcon);

 }

Hi Oleg,


Thanks, using LoadAlphaIcon(...) all icons look fine.

Regards
