Painting of disabled toolbar button

Hello,

I use the icon in 1st pic in my toolbar button, which - when disabled - was correctly grayed by XTP as on the 2nd pic in v10.1. However, with v10.4, I get a bad look for the same grayed button (see 3rd pic).


This is how I add this toolbar button (using the same code in both versions v10.1 and v10.4):

    CXTPControlButton *pButton = new CXTPControlButton();
    pButton->SetID( nMyButtonId );
    pButton->SetCustomIcon( hMyIcon );
    pButton->SetStyle(xtpButtonIconAndCaptionBelow);
    m_pToolbar->GetControls()->Add(pButton);
(Disabling of buttons is accomplished by cmd update handlers.)

Where do you think the problem lies? Why is the shadow differently rendered to gray suddenly?

Thank you, in advance!

Thank you, it's much better now.
But it's still not the same for some other icons of mine. Eg. from the enabled icon on the left, I get a bad looking disabled icon on the right:
I guess this is because of some transparency handling.

By the way, is there a way to force XTP to use my own versions of disabled, greyed icons? I'm trying to use this code to achieve it:

    UINT nCustomIconId = m_pToolbar->GetImageManager()->AddCustomIcon(CXTPImageManagerIconHandle(hMyIcon));
    CXTPImageManagerIcon* pCustomIconImage = m_pToolbar->GetImageManager()->GetImage(nCustomIconId);
    pCustomIconImage->SetDisabledIcon(CXTPImageManagerIconHandle(hMyIconDisabled));

    CXTPControlButton *pButton = new CXTPControlButton();
    pButton->SetID(nMyId);
    pButton->SetIconId(nCustomIconId);
    pButton->SetStyle(xtpButtonIconAndCaptionBelow);
    m_pToolbar->GetControls()->Add(pButton);

and previously I also set m_pToolbar->GetPaintManager()->GetIconsInfo()->bUseDisabledIcons to use the disabled icons pushed in.

The problem with this is, that XTP makes these greyed icons of mine even more greyed. I mean my rendered, light grey disabled icons (left icon below) become dark grey when drawn by XTP (see right icon below). Could this extra-greying be switched off somehow?

Thank you, in advance!

Thank you oleg, but unfortunately this still doesn't work. I've tried the CImageList-based version of SetIcons() (because we don't have fixed, resource-based toolbars), but the disabled images are too dark grey, again.

So finally I ended up with overloading CXTPPaintManager::DrawImage() to execute my own code for drawing disabled buttons. Just for the information of those who may be interested. Anyway, thank you for your help.
