Stretch a control to the end of a toolbar

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

   Does anyone know a way to stretch a control (edit) to the end of a toolbar its in?
 CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
 CXTPToolBar* pCommandBar = (CXTPToolBar*)pCommandBars->Add(_T("Output Queue Toolbar"), xtpBarTop);
 if( pCommandBar )
 {
   pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bSh owExpandButtonAlways  = FALSE;
  CXTPControlEdit *pControl = (CXTPControlEdit *)pCommandBar->GetControls()->Add( xtpControlEdit, ID_OUTPUTFILTER_EDIT );
  pControl->SetCaption( "Filter:" );
  pCommandBar->SetFlags(xtpFlagStretched);
  pCommandBar->EnableDocking( xtpFlagStretched );
 } 

I just have the one edit control in the toolbar and would like it to take up the whole width of the toolbar and size when the toolbar is sized.

Thanks
Craig

	No one has responded to this post, so I'll see if I can help. I haven't tried this, but I would use the GetWidth method for the CommandBar to determine the size. Assuming that the edit control is the only control on the toolbar (from your post, it sounds like it is), then I would use the SetWidth method on the Edit control.

	in next version we will add xtpFlagControlStretched flag. You can patch your sources if you don't want wait next version: 1. add XTPControlFlags::xtpFlagControlStretched = 32 (XTPCommandBarDefines.h) 2. replace in XTPControls.cpp: void CXTPControls::_MoveRightAlligned(XTPBUTTONINFO* pData, CSize sizeResult, CRect rcBorder, DWORD dwMode) { [attached] } 3. Now you can use it: CXTPControlComboBox* pComboMasked = (CXTPControlComboBox)CControlComboBoxEx::CreateObject(); pComboMasked->SetDropDownListStyle(); pComboMasked->AddString(_T("12:00:20:30 ")); pComboMasked->AddString(_T("11:03:12:30 ")); pComboMasked->AddString(_T("00:00:12:30 ")); pComboMasked->AddString(_T("10:00:30:30 ")); pComboMasked->SetWidth(130); pComboMasked->SetCaption(_T("Masked")); pComboMasked->SetStyle(xtpComboLabel); pComboMasked->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpd ate\|xtpFlagControlStretched*); lpCreateControl->pControl = pComboMasked; Edited by oleg
