Thank you, akur! Now, it works fine.

I picked the usage of disabled images from the GUI_MsMoney example. It does not set bUseDisabledIcons, so I thought I don't need it too.

Hello,

just an idea: did you try to play a little bit with the flags Oleg has told about above? I mean setting/resetting these:

XTPPaintManager()->GetIconsInfo()->bUseDisabledIcons

XTPPaintManager()->GetIconsInfo()->bOfficeStyleDisabledIcons

Hi!

I've got a similar problem with disabled icons but I use the standard SetIcons functions.

m_pDocBar->LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR_DOC);
m_pDocBar->SetIconSize(CSize(24,24));
m_pDocBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(IDR_TOOLBAR_DOC, IDB_TOOLBAR_DOC, xtpImageNormal);
m_pDocBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(IDR_TOOLBAR_DOC, IDB_TOOLBAR_DOC_DISABLED, xtpImageDisabled);

The disabled icons are not used.

For testing, I added the disabled icons as hot icons too. They aredisplayed correctly (=disabled icon) when the mouse is over the buttons.

m_pDocBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(IDR_TOOLBAR_DOC, IDB_TOOLBAR_DOC_DISABLED, xtpImageHot);

Correct enabled icon but wrong disabled icon:

For testing: disabled icon in hot state:

The main window is derived from CXTPFrameWnd. It's embedded as a child window in a Windows Explorer tool bar.

Does somebody have an idea?

Regards

Thank you oleg, but unfortunately this still doesn't work. I've tried the CImageList-based version of SetIcons() (because we don't have fixed, resource-based toolbars), but the disabled images are too dark grey, again.

So finally I ended up with overloading CXTPPaintManager::DrawImage() to execute my own code for drawing disabled buttons. Just for the information of those who may be interested. Anyway, thank you for your help.

Hi,

Don't use AddCustomIcon,

Use standard SetIcons for normal and disabled icons.

For example:

// pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(IDR_MAINFRAME, xtpImageNormal);
// pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(IDR_MAINFRAME, IDR_MAINFRAME_DISABLED, xtpImageDisabled);

Thank you, it's much better now.
But it's still not the same for some other icons of mine. Eg. from the enabled icon on the left, I get a bad looking disabled icon on the right:

I guess this is because of some transparency handling.

By the way, is there a way to force XTP touse my own versions of disabled, greyed icons? I'm trying to usethis code to achieve it:

    UINT nCustomIconId =m_pToolbar->GetImageManager()->AddCustomIcon(CXTPImageManagerIconHandle(hMyIcon));
    CXTPImageManagerIcon* pCustomIconImage = m_pToolbar->GetImageManager()->GetImage(nCustomIconId);
   pCustomIconImage->SetDisabledIcon(CXTPImageManagerIconHandle(hMyIconDisabled));

    CXTPControlButton *pButton = new CXTPControlButton();
    pButton->SetID(nMyId);
    pButton->SetIconId(nCustomIconId);
    pButton->SetStyle(xtpButtonIconAndCaptionBelow);
    m_pToolbar->GetControls()->Add(pButton);

and previously I also set m_pToolbar->GetPaintManager()->GetIconsInfo()->bUseDisabledIconsto use the disabled icons pushed in.

The problem with this is, that XTP makes these greyed icons of mine even more greyed. Imean my rendered, light grey disabled icons (left icon below) become dark grey when drawn by XTP (see right icon below).Could this extra-greying be switched offsomehow?

Thank you, in advance!

Hello,

I use the icon in 1st pic in my toolbar button, which - when disabled - was correctly grayed by XTP as on the 2nd pic in v10.1. However, with v10.4, I get a bad look for the same grayed button (see 3rd pic).

(Images are zoomed)

This is how I add this toolbar button (using the same code in both versions v10.1 and v10.4):

    CXTPControlButton *pButton = new CXTPControlButton();
    pButton->SetID( nMyButtonId );
    pButton->SetCustomIcon( hMyIcon );
    pButton->SetStyle(xtpButtonIconAndCaptionBelow);
    m_pToolbar->GetControls()->Add(pButton);
(Disabling of buttons is accomplished by cmd update handlers.)

Where do you think the problem lies? Why is the shadow differently rendered to gray suddenly?

Thank you, in advance!
