So if I have a toolbar that is 16x16 already that the framework is using, I can simply use another bitmap that is 28x16 and make the call like you suggest above and the menus will take the icons from there and not from the toolbar and the toolbar will still look as it should?]]> Tue, 04 Apr 2006 09:15:06 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3851&PID=11947&title=menus-with-big-icons#11947 <![CDATA[Menus with big icons : You don&#039;t need to make toolbar...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3851&PID=11946&title=menus-with-big-icons#11946 Author: Oleg

You don't need to make toolbar 28*16, you need to create another icon set for 28*16 icons. create some bitmap for icons and call

pImageManager->SetIcons(IDR_TOOLABAR, IDR_BITMAP);

It is bad design then. If you make a toolbar 28x16, it will look wierd. Like I said, other menu systems allow for this. Can the Xtreme Toolkit not be modified to do so as well?]]> Mon, 03 Apr 2006 15:55:56 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3851&PID=11934&title=menus-with-big-icons#11934 <![CDATA[Menus with big icons : It is designed behaviour.

It is designed behaviour.

You must create 28*16 image for each icon you plan to use in Popup.

Also, I have this in my OnCreate method:

// Initialize the command bars

if (!InitCommandBars())

return -1;

// Get a pointer to the command bars object.

CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();

if (pCommandBars == NULL)

{

TRACE0("Failed to create command bars object.\n");

return -1; // fail to create

}

pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->szPopupIcons = CSize(28, 16);

// Add the menu bar

CXTPCommandBar* pMenuBar = pCommandBars->SetMenu(

_T("Menu Bar"), IDR_MAINFRAME);

if (pMenuBar == NULL)

{

TRACE0("Failed to create menu bar.\n");

return -1; // fail to create

}

Yes, I found that bug also, but it does not fix the problem. I want to have the toolbar left at 16x16. I have some custom bitmaps that are 28x16. I want the bitmaps that come from the toolbar and placed automatically by the Xtreme Toolkit framework to look correct AND I want my 28x16 bitmaps to look correct. Right now, the 28x16 look correct, but the 16x16 bitmaps are stretched. Other menu frameworks allow this to work. The Xtreme toolkit must be able to do it as well.]]> Mon, 03 Apr 2006 15:03:38 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3851&PID=11929&title=menus-with-big-icons#11929 <![CDATA[Menus with big icons : Hello, just tried codeyou attached...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3851&PID=11928&title=menus-with-big-icons#11928 Author: Oleg

Hello, just tried code you attached and see problem.

Steps to fix:

add

pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->szPopupIcons = CSize(28, 16);

replace in your code

iml.Create(bm.bmHeight, bm.bmHeight, ILC_MASK, 0, 0);

to

iml.Create(bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight, ILC_MASK, 0, 0);

Leave the icons in the toolbar as they were (16x16 I think).  Then create a bitmap that is 28x16. Create a new menu item somewhere that does not have a toolbar item. Assign the 28x16 bitmap to that new menu item. What do you see? Is the icon properly sized or is it clipped or sized very small?]]> Sat, 25 Mar 2006 08:25:40 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3851&PID=11732&title=menus-with-big-icons#11732
