I like that one _T() and _S()

But the primary reason for my post was that the XTP controls are cumbersome. I don't understand why Codejock doesn't get the basics done but instead works on a useless Ribbon designer.

Don't waste your time writing wrappers for nothing ;)

 

CString str((LPCTSTR)IDS_STRING);

 

or, my personal favorite:

inline CString _S(UINT nID)

{

#ifdef _DEBUG

     CString str;

     ASSERT(str.LoadString(nID));

#else

     return CString((LPCTSTR)nID);

#endif

}

 

foo(_S(IDS_STRING)); // Simple code :)

Wrote a little wrapper:

class CStringResource : public CString
{
public:
   CStringResource(UINT nID)
   {
      VERIFY(LoadString(nID));
   }
};

I've changed some CButton to CXTPButton to get the Office 2007 look, but for each button the theme has be set at runtime, that's horrible. I would expect a CXTPDialog class with a SetTheme() method which then sets the theme of all child controls.

Also there is no CXTPListBox and CXTPComboBox. I would expect all common controls with the different themes.

And last but not least could you please a SetWindowText(UINT nID); method which takes a string id?

Thanks
