Hi!

I'd like to place one of my CWnd derived panels inside a (created) CXTPMarkupObject. Is this possible? If not, will this functionality be added?

[edit]
I just thought of another question:
What is the default setup for XAML in resource files? So far, I've created a Custom type ("XAML") and added a *.XAML file to it. Do i have to use FindResource/LoadResource with RT_RCDATA? if so, how do I use the HGLOBAL that function returns?
[/edit]

Thanks!

Bob

Hi,

You can use HTML type:

IDR_SPIRAL HTML MOVEABLE PURE "res\\spiral.xml"

HRSRC hRsrc = ::FindResource(hInstance, lpszResourceName, RT_HTML);
if (hRsrc == NULL)
return FALSE;

HGLOBAL hGlobal = LoadResource(hInstance, hRsrc);
if (hGlobal == NULL)
return FALSE;

LPCSTR pData = (LPCSTR)LockResource(hGlobal);
if (pData == NULL)
return FALSE;

No :(

You can add some Border object to Markup, render markup, determine posiotn of this Border and then move your CWnd panel to this position.

This would be like some child alignment manager, something that we are missing in the MFC and which would be very usefull especially for designing dynamic dialog layouts for example. combined with the drawing power of markup, this would be great to even have nice bitmap background windows with dynamically aligned transparent child windows in it.

A child window alignment manager would be in general a good addition to the XTResize functionality, maybe even combined with markup.
