Hi,

Using ON_XTP_CREATECONTROL I create my own custom control.

I want to resize this later on - how do I resize my control and get the new size displayed in the toolbar?

m_rotatorAzimValue is derrived from CWnd.

  //
  // Create the static control.
  //
  CRect rect(0,0,100,16);

  if (!m_rotatorAzimValue.Create(NULL,
            NULL,
            WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPCHILDREN,
            rect,
            this,
            ID_AZIM_VALUE,
            NULL))
  {
   return FALSE;
  }

  //
  // Create a CXTPControlCustom*.
  //
  CXTPControlCustom* pControlAzimValue = CXTPControlCustom::CreateControlCustom(&m_rotatorAzimValue);

  //
  // Set the margins of the control.
  //
  pControlAzimValue->SetBorders(3, 0, 3, 0);
  pControlAzimValue->SetVerticalPositionOption(xtpVerticalHide);
  pControlAzimValue->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);
  lpCreateControl->pControl = pControlAzimValue;

Hi,

You need find custom control that was created (pCommandBars->FindControl) and change its size

pControl->SetWidth(...);

OK - I thought I tried that - will have another go, sorry to waste your time.
