Question with task panel

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

   I am currently developing a little practice application as I
familiarize myself with this great package... but I am having a little
trouble with something...

I have used the TaskPanel sample application as a guide to creating a
similar application, but I would like to have a little more flexibility
with the main portion of the program. The TaskPanel seems to use a
CListCtrl, I would like to be able to use a tab control, or even have
it display a bitmap... I am having trouble implementing something like
this.

If there are any sample apps that do this, or if anyone has any
suggestions about how to go about this, I would greatly appreciate the
help.

-Mike

	Hey Mike, I'm using the active-x vesion but I think the same thing holds true of the MFC one. You can just add an item to the group using the "xtpTaskItemTypeControl" style. Then assign the Handle property the handle of the control you want displayed in the task panel (or you can use the Control property). I display a child dialog that has several controls on it as a single item.

	I'm not sure about MFC but when using WTL I go: ITaskPanelGroupItemPtr controlItem2 = group3->Items->Add( 5, "Test Custom4 Control", XtremeSuiteControls::xtpTaskItemTypeControl ); controlItem2->Handle = (int)myControlToAddToTaskPane->hwnd();
