I would like to display a checkbox in a ribbon group. The following code works except that I can't check the checkbox and I get no notification when I click the checkbox.

CButton *pButton = new CButton ();
pButton->Create (_T("Caption"), BS_CHECKBOX, CRect(0,0,100,20), this, ID_TEST);

CXTPControlCustom *pControl = CXTPControlCustom::CreateControlCustom(pButton);

pGroup->Add(pControl, ID_TEST);

Hello,

Guess you need BS_AUTOCHECKBOX style

Tried that too, I even got the checkbox working but the background of the checkbox has the wrong color. I've tried to catch the WM_ERASEBKGND message but no success.

It would be nice if the following line would work

pRibbonGroup->Add (xtpControlCheckBox, ID_TEST);

P.S.: If the CButton has a valid command id ("ID_TEST") rather than 0 the system checkbox is drawn and then the XTP themed checkbox everytime the MFC is in idle state and calls the update command handlers, so if you move the mouse you have a flickering checkbox.

Could you please provide a sample with a checkbox on the ribbon?

Thanks

?

I guess I have to wait for the "next release"?

Hi,

Sorry too much sample requests last week... I preparing new custom CXTPControl for next release, but will attach it here when it will be ready.

Hello

ok, we added xtpControlCheckBox, but unfortunatelly this class changed too much sources (each PaintManager has own implementation of check box area)

I afraid you must wait next release.

Thanks oleg, any idea when the next release will be available?

P.S.: It would be nice if ON_COMMAND / ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI works for the checkbox on the Ribbon because it would then be a drop in replacement for check menu items.

Thanks again, Andre

Hello,

Hard to say abou next release... May be in 3 - 4 weeks.

of course, it support ON_COMMAND / ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI.

Thanks for patient :)
