Have same button with different size in a ribbon

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

   Hi,

In a RibbonBar I'm doing the following.
In 2 different tabs, I'm adding a button with the same ID,
on the first tab, I want to have a large button (32x32)

pCXTPRibbonGroup->Add(xtpControlButton, verifyID(ID_ACTION))->SetIconSize(CSize(32, 32));

and have a small button on the second tab (16x16).

pCXTPRibbonGroup->Add(xtpControlButton, verifyID(ID_ACTION))->SetIconSize(CSize(16, 16));

Before creating button, I assign Icon to action ID  calling XTPImageManager()::SetIcons(), once for 32x32 once for 16x16.

Problem is both buttons appear big (32x32), so SetIconSize() seems to have no effect on my case.

Workaround is to have 2 separated ID, like ID_ACTION_16, ID_ACTION_32
But It makes code more complicated and might cause some errors.

any method better than CXTPControl::SetIconSize()
could be used for that ?

Thanks,

	Hello fleg, You can get desirable behavior by using SetStyle() method. By default used xtpButtonAutomatic style. With xtpButtonAutomatic size of ribbon buttons depend on existing free space. And can be changed from big to small with resizing of window. With xtpButtonIconAndCaption and xtpButtonIcon the icon always will be small. Except you set some big size pControl->SetIconSize(CSize(32, 32)); Regards, Oleksandr Lebed

	Hi Oleksandr, This is working perfectly. Might be nice to have mention in documentation of GetSize() to indicate this strick about the button style. Many thanks for the help. Fabien
