Hi,

    CXTPCommandBar* pMenuBar = pCommandBars->SetMenu(_T("Menu Bar"), IDR_SAMPLETYPE);

    if(pMenuBar == NULL)
    {
        TRACE0("Failed to create menu bar.\n");
        return -1;      // fail to create
    }

    pMenuBar->SetFlags(xtpFlagAddMDISysPopup);

    int NoOfCtrls = -1;
    NoOfCtrls = pMenuBar->GetControlCount();
    CXTPControl *pControl = NULL;
    pControl = pMenuBar->GetControl(NoOfCtrls - 1);

Is it possible to change the Font of pControl here ? (only pControl not entire CommandBars through XTPPaintManager)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

No :( You can only make font bold (SetItemDefault(TRUE)) or use Markup feature.

Hi Oleg,

I am kind of new to Markups. An example for this Scenario will be more helpful.

Thanks

Hi,

Here sample:

CXTPControlMarkupLabel* pLabel = new CXTPControlMarkupLabel();
pLabel->SetCaption(_T("<TextBlock TextAlignment='Center'><Underline>This is</Underline><LineBreak/><Bold>Markup</Bold> <Run Foreground='Red'>Label</Run><LineBreak/><Italic>Control</Italic></TextBlock>"));

pMenuBar->GetControls()->Add(pLabel);

Thanks oleg,

It changes the font correctly. Being a Label it does not work like a button(which i need like handle Click event,mouse over highlight etc).
And when i dock the menu bar to right or left of the Mainframe the label didnt render the vertical text.

Hi,

Yes, both true.

Another option is to create class derived from some CXTPOfficeTheme, override GetControlFont and return font you need.

Thanks Oleg,

Deriving from CXTPOfficeTheme works only for it. so i found some workaround to make it work for all the themes using some macros :)
