Rectangular Tab Icons

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello.

I am trying to set rectangular tab icons for my docking panes. I have created an image list of 5 images of 72x36 pixels each. This is the piece of code I am using to assign these images to the tab icons inside my OnCreate function:

m_PaneManager.GetPaintManager()->GetTabPaintManager()->m_szIcon = CSize(72, 36);
CXTPImageManager* icons_manager = m_PaneManager.GetImageManager();
icons_manager->SetIcons(m_tabs_image_list, nIDIcons, _countof(nIDIcons), CSize(72, 36), xtpImageNormal);

Once executed, I notice that the tabs are higher than desired as shown in the following picture:

As you can see, despite the images are shown correctly, and although the size of the icons has been set to CSize(72,36) as shown in the code, it seems to be forced to show a square 72x72 icon size, producing those undesireble margins up and down each image.
How can I get rid of those margins and maintain the height of the tabs in 36 pixels?

Thanks in advance.
Alex.
