It's frustrating as in April we were told the next release was due "soon" to support VS 2026.

I'd rather Codejock support the latest VS versions faster than delay a release to add massive new features.

In Source/Controls/Static/XTPMarkupStatic.cpp, a growing buffer is not reallocated correctly.

template
AFX_INLINE BOOL XTPStrPushChr(T*& pStr, T ch, SIZE_T& nPos, SIZE_T& nSize)
{
if (NULL == pStr)
{
nSize = 0x100;
pStr = (T*)malloc(nSize * sizeof(T));
if (NULL == pStr)
return FALSE;

*pStr = T('\0');
nPos = 0;
}

pStr[nPos] = ch;
if (++nPos == nSize)
{
nSize *= 2;
// --->>>> pStr = (T*)realloc(pStr, nSize);

// Should be:

pStr = (T*)realloc(pStr, nSize * sizeof(T));
if (NULL == pStr)
return FALSE;

pStr[nPos] = T('\0');
}

return TRUE;
}

Hello Piotr,

Visual Studio 2026 official support will be added in the upcoming version. The currently available v24.3 does not provide an official support for it.

Thanks for reporting this mistake. Indeed, the return value must be -1. I'll be fixed in the upcoming version.

Toolkit Pro : TaskDialog infinite loop on an error case

We are using an CXTPTaskDialog in our application.

I'm using incorrect settings and the dialog fails to create.
In this case the application ends up in an infinite loop.

The culprit seems to be the handling of the error case in

int CXTPTaskDialogFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
  ...
  	if (!CreateClient(TRUE))	{		TRACE0("Failed to create Task Dialog UI window.\n");		return FALSE;	}
}

The return FALSE seems to be incorrect (the method returns 0 as success).

If I patch the code with a return -1 when CreateClient() fails, the infinite loop no longer happens.

After latest toolset change in VS2026 I get this error on all XTP projects:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v180\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets(473,5): error MSB8020: The build tools for v145 (Platform Toolset = 'v145') cannot be found. To build using the v145 build tools, please install v145 build tools.  Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution".

Retarget did not work, I needed to manually change the files, but it is a pain, as none of the samples compile.

E.g.

XTPPaintManager()->SetTheme(xtpThemeOffice2016);XTPResourceImages()->SetHandle(sThemePath, _T("Office2016PowerPointDarkGray.ini"));


[DockingPane.Active]BorderColor = 0 87 78BackgroundColor = 178 178 178TextColor = 255 255 255CaptionColor = 0 87 78GripperColor = 0 166 159

Hello,

Can you please tell me how to change the color of docking pane's caption. I want to change the blue color to something else.

I tried PaneManager->GetPaintManager()->m_clrActiveCaption. But the color remains blue.

Regards,

Gautam Jain
