controls in a ribbon bar

Hi Marco,

use pControlEdit->SetFlags(xtpFlagWrapRow);

Oleg, can you plese be a little more precisely on that one.

If I add a CXTPControlLabel before a CXTPControlEdit, the EditControl is always in a new line under the ControlLabel but never right of it.

So, this doesn't work:

pControl = pGroup->Add(xtpControlLabel, 0);
pControl->SetCaption(_T("Find"));
pControl->SetStyle(xtpButtonCaption);
pControl->SetWidth(180);

CXTPControlEdit* pControlEdit = (CXTPControlEdit*)pGroup->Add(xtpControlEdit, ID_BUTTON__FIND);
pControlEdit->SetWidth(200);

How do I get both in onle line as seen in the second picture above?


Thanx, Marco

Hi Oleg,

how can I do this with the ActiveX CommandBars ?

Hi all,

if I put two edit controls into a ribbon bar group then they are displayed on top of each other like intended. But the width of the edit controls is not the same - They are both aligned to the right side of the 'column' and reach to the right end of the controls label (see picture)



I tryed to use CXTPControlEdit::SetWidth() and    CXTPControlEdit::SetLabelWidth() but that doesn't seem to have the right effect. I'm afraid that there is no solution to this because in the sample application of the Xtreme Toolkit Pro this problem is 'fixed' by adding some spaces to the end of the shorter label string.
But I've seen a sample picture in a forum entry with correct aligned edit controls - so maybe it is possible.

Another thing I was wondering about is if it would be possible to 'break' the strict column orientation for the ribbon controls. I like to have to button controls below the edit controls like in this picture:




If it is not possible: could one put a whole dialog (resource with own controls) into a ribbon group?

Thanks in advance
Stefan
