Scaling the Status Bar

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

   I was able to scale the ribbon using the SetFontHeght technique in the sample  (see https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12612).  I'm trying to extend that scaling to the status bar.  It is mostly working.  Right after I create it, I do this:

    CFont* pFont = m_pStatusBar->GetFont();
    LOGFONT lf = {0};
    if (pFont->GetLogFont(&lf))
    {
        lf.lfHeight *= 2;
        CFont font;
        font.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
        m_pStatusBar->SetFont(&font);
    }

The part I can't whip is getting the icons to scale up on fake buttons displayed on my status bar.  My original code looked something like this:

CXTPStatusBarPane* pPane = This->m_pStatusBar->AddIndicator(nId, iIndex);

pPane->SetIconIndex(nId);
pPane->SetText(_T(""));
pPane->SetButton();
pPane->BestFit();

At this point I changed the BestFit call to a SetWidth call, and the pane resized like I asked, but the icon stayed little & to the side.  I had previously changed the paint manager's m_bAutoResizeIcons variable for the ribbon changes, but that doesn't seem to affect the status bar.  Unless, that is, there is a different paint manager involved that I can't see with the debugger.  

Granted, the icons I have supplied to the image manager are small, but I was hoping that they would scale up as they did on the ribbon.  Is there some trick I haven't discovered to make this work?
