[solved] Problem with docking pane icons v18.0.1

We have an SDI App that hosts in a DLL the mainframe and UI.  When we updated to CodeJock 17.2 from 15, the code that controls the drawing of docking pane icons, like the Pin and Close buttons changed to be resource based.

You can see the new code in XTPDrawhelpers::InitFont which gets called by XTPPrimitiveDrawer::DrawSymbol.

What happens is that InitFont gets called and my DLL is the current thread module (not the application EXE).  So, when InitFont calls AfxFindResourceHandle, it does not succeed in loading the ToolkitPro DLL and is not able to find XTP_IDC_FONT_CODEJOCK.  Thus, an ASSERT.

I have created a sample application/dll that demonstrates this problem.

Basically the docking pane icons look like this:

Instead of this:

To show that the icon should be here, here's what it looks like when I hover over where the icon should be:

I have created a sample visual studio project that re-creates the problem. You can extract it with WinRAR.

If you extract it so that the root folder is under the CodeJock\Samples folder, it "should" build the DLL and EXE to the correct CodeJock\bin folder.

Would appreciate if you have any advice.

I have confirmed that this continues to be a problem in version 17.3.

It appears that you can't use dynamic linking of toolkit AND host UI in a DLL instead of an EXE....
