Great toolset Oleg, sserge and company. Really terrific product. I've got the RibbonBar and CalendarControl in my app and it's working well.
My question is this -- my only major customization is that I'd like to displa a JPG image (from thumbnail files stored on disk already) in the calendar event. Assume I've already rescaled the image down to say a 32x32 icon, but that it's still in JPG format. And assume I'm only going to be displaying as many of these as the cell allows.
Now, I know how to use the Deployment Wizard and recompile the DLL to use in my app.
I've made a few customizations already in the display of events (e.g., eliminating the location field, conditional color-coding based on my app, etc.).
Do you have any XTP function calls that can read JPGs straight from the disk, or do I need to use my own, e.g., http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/cximage.aspx ?
I assume I need to customize the various "Draw(" functions for the event itself (I'm using the Office2007 theme)... but if I do that, I can't figure out the best-practice method for incorporating that CXImage library into the excellent existing library that you've written.

Hi,
Why you can't convert them to png ? jpg is not good format for icons.

That's certainly one option -- it would be a bit of a performance hit though, but possibly acceptable. If we did have a file at say "c:\test.png" (just to keep it simple), can you give us an example of the kind of code we'd need in the event draw function(s)?
