Hi dbrookes. Now our UI team says I have to move controls up by the min/max/close. So I revisited this post. Most helpful as I immediately hit the "hide them things from CJ" or things just don't work. I even have the search control up there. I did take a different approach. I subclass from their caption button for our logo and ribbon button/qat controls I put up there so I can specify caption button image sizes. Also, for the search control I took a different approach for measuring it. Since I have other controls and search is to the left of some of them, I pass in the right side. I use the DC to measure the control since it starts off with a zero height.

CRect OurRibbonBar::GetCommandFinderCaptionRect(CXTPControl *pControlSearch, int nRightSideOfCommandFinder)
{
    using std::min;
    using std::max;

    CRect rcControl;

    if(m_bCommandFinderOnCaption)
    {
        //pControl = pControlSearch;//m_pControls->FindControl(xtpControlError, ID_HELP_CMD_FINDER, TRUE, FALSE);
        if(pControlSearch)
        {
            CRect curRect = pControlSearch->GetRect();
            if(nRightSideOfCommandFinder)
            {
                int nWidth = curRect.Width();
                int nHeight = curRect.Height();
                if(curRect.Height() == 0)
                {
                    // CJ Edit controls in the caption get their size set in CXTPRibbonBar::Reposition. They have no height until
                    // it is calculated since it depends on the font. So I have to do this at least one time or at least one time
                    // per monitor aware monitor change notification which we don't support (yet). CJ doesn't do it because I have
                    // to hide controls in the caption area in JCXTPRibbonBar::CalcDockingLayout because if they are visible
                    // the CJ code just doesn't work as it doesn't expect controls to actuall be in the caption area and mucks
                    // things up.
                    CClientDC dc(this);

                    CSize szControl = pControlSearch->GetSize(&dc);

                    nWidth = szControl.cx;
                    nHeight = szControl.cy;

                    curRect.bottom = curRect.top + nHeight;
                }
                curRect.left = nRightSideOfCommandFinder - nWidth;
                curRect.right = nRightSideOfCommandFinder; // not adding padding but I might eventually
                
                int nTopOffset = 0;
                if( curRect.top == 0 )
                {
                    // Both of these should always be present.
                    CXTPControl* pMinimize = m_pControls->FindControl(SC_MINIMIZE);
                    if(nullptr == pMinimize)
                    {
                        pMinimize = m_pControls->FindControl(SC_CLOSE);
                    }
                    CRect rcCaption;
                    if( pMinimize )
                    {
                        rcCaption = pMinimize->GetRect();
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        rcCaption = m_rcCaptionText;
                    }
                    nTopOffset = (rcCaption.Height() - curRect.Height())/2;
                }

                rcControl = curRect;
                rcControl.OffsetRect(0, nTopOffset);
                return rcControl;
            }

We use Direct2D to render the SVG to a bitmap taking into account any padding I find the the CJ drawing code and set the bitmap on the button.

We have been using D2D for a good while now and render bitmaps, icons etc. to put on our ribbon, dialogs, image lists etc. If CJ's SVG support has any api to render a bitmap or icon you can set the bitmap or icon on a button or static and use BS_BITMAP or SS_BITMAP (/ICON).

Does present a bit of pain when supporting all the Windows DPI contexts since they are pre-rendered.

Hi;

How can I use a SVG graphic in a CXTPButton derived control?

TIA

Hello,

Some problems has been fixed for XTPListBox

Hi Artem,

I'll wait and see how much this affects everyday users. In my case a specific workflow involving a window was the complaint. When the window was closed, I added a call to activate the frame. If someone starts complaining that going to another app and then clicking close is a problem, I'll file the ticket if I am asked to address that workflow too.

So until that happens, I'll just sit pat and await our next move to a version with the fix.
