ComCtl32 broken in v12!

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

   Ok, I just confirmed this bug! The icons look ok in XTP 11.2.2, but jagged in XTP 12.0.0. 

Please fix this as soon as possible!

*********
Since I upgraded to v12 my alpha-blended icons (imported and added into a CImageList with ILC_COLOR32|ILC_MASK style) are jagged with that classical black border (no alpha blending). I did not change my source code, except XTP (running XP SP3 + VS 2008). Could this be a ComCtl32-bug in XTP 12? I know this is a issue with ComCtl32 5.x... 

The manifest is correctly defined, and in the debug window I can see that the DLL is indeed loaded. What could be wrong?

	Hello, Need to test what you do to answer. But I very not recommend use CImageList+ILC_COLOR32 to import to ImageManager. ILC_COLOR32 only supported in WindowsXP, but ImageMaanger support Alpha icons for all OS. better add icons directly XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(...);

	Can you do that with the report control? In any way, XTP 12 has broken some kind of alpha-support (perhaps you removed/changed the manifest?).

	Hello, Give me bitmap you use, code you have to set it. etc. we need to test it. p.s. Add in your app BOOL bSupported = XTPImageManager()->IsAlphaIconsImageListSupported(); bSupported is TRUE ?

	Will test it later. However, I just recalled this: I have a ribbon application where I set the icon of an item using SetCustomIcon. The icon is a general 32bit-icon loaded via the ExtractIcons-API found here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/GetIconsfromExeorDLLs.aspx Great function by the way. Download it and apply this patch: Line 479 in ExtractIcon.cpp: `if( (magic[1] == MAGIC_ICON \|\| magic[1] == MAGIC_CUR ) &&` should be: `if( (magic[1] == MAGIC_ICO1 \|\| magic[1] == MAGIC_CUR ) &&` I can make a sample later, but this should not be too hard to test.

	Hi, We have own LoadAlphaIcon code in our ImageManager.... also try set breakpoint after line if (CXTPImageManager::IsAlphaIconsImageListSupported() && GetIconInfo(hHandle.m_hIcon, &iconInfo)) if it was not executed - you don't have manifest.
