StatusBarIconPane without CS_DBLCLKS. Why

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

   In XTPStatusBar.cpp in function CXTPStatusBarBasePane::Create you have a line that registers window class only with CS_BYTEALIGHNCLIENT. This means that framework will not sent WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK message to this window. According to msdn for MFC windows CS_DBLCLKS is a default style, so if there is no reason not to put it there, this is something you can do quickly... 
Ideally, you would provide the same mechanism for this type of pane as for the regular status pane. Once user clicks or doubleclicks regular status pane, status bar receives NM_CLICK and NM_DBLCLK notifications where appropriate member of NMMOUSE (dwItemSpec) is set to pane index. IOW, StatusBarIconPane should send WM_NOTIFY to parent with this parameters.
I've also noticed that in majority of your samples you don't even use your CXTPStatusBar class, so is that a way you suggest (if we do that we loose themeing support), but we get tooltips and proper notifications? Is there a plan to make statusbar improvements in near future?

Regards

	For next version it will be enhanced - tooltips/text back color/icons/visible and more.
