Big icon in xtpControlButtonPopup

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a popup-menu in my ribbon. Its drop-down menu contains ~10 items with their corresponding small icons. When I select these sub-items, I want the button in the ribbon to get its big icon.

That way, the user understands which item is selected.

Q: How do I update this big icon elegantly?

At the moment I store the icon-ID of the menu item when it is being selected, and then call pControl->SetIconIndex in the update-handler of the popup-button. Hence, I get a 16x16-icon when I want a 32x32-icon!

I believe CXTPControlButton should be able to hold two icons! Then I could call this in the menu-handler:
m_selectedIconID = pControl->GetLargeIconID();

Any other ideas?

	Seems this did the trick (maybe you can explain why it works? :P) When creating the popup-item: XTPImageManager()->SetIcon(hLargeIcon, pControl->GetID(), CSize(32, 32)); XTPImageManager()->SetIcon(hSmallIcon, pControl->GetID(), CSize(16, 16)); When selecting the popup-item: m_selectedIconID = tagNMCONTROL->pControl->GetIconId(); Then in the update-handler of the popup itself: pPopup->SetIconId(m_selectedIconID);
