I forgot to mention that the gallery is laying out in 64-bit squares. The problem is that the 32-bit icons are showing up centered in those squares, rather than the 64-bit versions.

I created a large image set, but I'm having trouble getting it on the screen. I saw it used in the tooltips, so I knew it was valid & properly loaded. I then stepped through the display code and found this:

  CXTPImageManager::GetImage(32811, 0) C++
CXTPControlGalleryItem::GetImage() C++
  CXTPControlGalleryItem::Draw(0x00e2de24, 0x203ae1c8, {...}, 1, 0, 0, 0) C++
  CXTPControlGallery::DrawItems(0x00e2de24) C++
  CXTPControlGallery::Draw(0x00e2de24) C++

Note that in the CXTPControlGalleryItem::GetImage call to CXTPImageManager::GetImage the final argument is hardcoded to 0. That is nWidth, and in the subsequent icon lookups that maps to the 32-bit icon. I deposited 64 in there a few times and got a good picture, but don't see how to accomplish that through code. I do have image sets installed at both 32- and 64-bit sizes. Do I need to uninstall the 32-bit version? I'm not sure how to do that, and that might be a problem even if I did, as I'm not sure whether the image lists is used elsewhere (it's a bit app). Is there some other way to get the larger images on the screen?

Hi,

Gallery use size of icons that you have in image mananager. Create additional Large image set.

Hiding the scroll bar isn't a realistic option for me. My gallery can easily contain enough items to require a scroll bar, and I need the bottom button to provide access to a popup with more controls on it.

Also, what about the earlier question regarding icon size?

You can call pGallery->ShowScrollBar(FALSE); to hide it.

Changing the Width/Height of the gallery mostly worked. The buttons on the right don't appear to react to this increase very well.

The top two didn't change, and the bottom one scaled rather strangely. Here's the code I used. Is that what you meant?

int nHeight = pGallery->GetHeight();
pGallery->SetHeight(nHeight * 2);

int nWidth = pGallery->GetWidth();
pGallery->SetWidth(nWidth * 2);

Is this expected? Can I do anything to make it look better?

Second issue: The icon size. I tried a several things, but they stayed the same size:

// first attempt

                    CSize icon_size = pGallery->GetIconSize();
                    icon_size += icon_size;
                    pGallery->SetIconSize(icon_size);

// second attempt

                    if (CXTPControlGalleryItems* pItems = pGallery->GetItems())
                    {
                        CSize item_size = pItems->GetItemSize();
                        item_size += item_size;
                        pItems->SetItemSize(item_size);
                    }

// third attempt

                    for (int n = 0; n < pGallery->GetItemCount(); ++n)
                    {
                        if (CXTPControlGalleryItem* pItem = pGallery->GetItem(n))
                        {
                            CSize item_size = pItem->GetSize();
                            item_size += item_size;
                            pItem->SetSize(item_size);
                        }
                    }

Am I on the right track? Do I need to provide bigger versions of the icons? I assumed that Codejock would scale them up for me if I set a larger icon size.

Thanks.

That's great. Thanks!

What has to be done to scale up galleries? See the Shapes group in the Insert tab of your example. It doesn't fill the available vertical space.

I'm getting more and more customers with very large, high-resolution monitors. On such systems, the ribbon can be too small to comfortably work with. Is there any easy way to, say, double its size? Barring that, is there any complicated way to do something like that? I saw some techniques in other posts about increasing tab size. How about button size? Is this at all possible? I have some very unhappy customers pushing hard about this.

Thanks!
