Hi guys, please give me know before we will oficially release version 13.1 about your needs in some architecture changes like:

1. Make some non-virtual function to declare as virtual

2. Make some private members or functions public

I will analyze your requests (for Calendar, Report and SyntaxEdit components) and will try to make you happy in your advanced development

Please put your proposal as respond on this post - it make easy to collect it all

Brilliant move

Perhaps you should update the icons for CXTEditListBox. There are 24bit-icons nowadays...

void CXTPDockingPaneLayout::Serialize(CArchive& ar)
{
CXTPPropExchangeArchive px(ar);
DoPropExchange(&px); // BOOL gone...
}

All calls to DoDropExchange should return the returned BOOL! I believe this needs to be changed for several CXTPDocking* classes.

Hi,

int CXTPResourceManager::GetMenuLocaleString(CMenu* pMenu, UINT nIDItem, CString& rString, UINT nFlags)

Making this method to virtual will help us to load menu strings dynamically at runtime without difficulty.

Thanks

CXTPRibbonBar should have a method/variable that disables the right-click menu. Today I have to derive this class and override WM_RBUTTONUP... An extra class for such a simple thing :(

It should be possible to, in a convenient way, set the report's paint manager to always draw the selected row as if it had focus. Similar to the LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS style of CListCtrl!

I have been looking in a way to implement it myself but then I have to overwrite all of the following functions because they call CXTPReportControl::HasFocus.

CXTPReportPaintManager::FillGroupRowMetrics
CXTPReportPaintManager::DrawGroupRow
CXTPReportPaintManager::DrawLink2
CXTPReportRow::Draw
CXTPReportRow::GetItemMetrics
CXTPReportRow::DrawFixed

Because my derived class of the PaintManager is not a friend of CXTPReportRow you get into problems because of access to protected members.

Maybe it is possible to extend IsRowFocusVisible and have the focused logic in this function. This function can then return TRUE when the control has the focus and the row focus should be shown. If every function mentioned above would use this function (instead of HasFocus) there is just one place to overwrite to show the focus always. Unfortunately this function is also not virtual.

I'm using the Report control to show information from the database. The control is filled with an initial set of data and when the user scrolls down the next data is added to the control. This however prompts me with a problem. To add the rows to the control I have to call populate.

When I do this the current selection gots lost because Populate wants to set the selection back to the selected record instead of the selected row (e.g. a group row) or when there is no selection the top row is set.

It would be great if Populate would set back the focus to the selected row (without ensuring visibility) or just leave the control without selection (as before calling Populate).

What's this? The function is non-virtual and makes a lot of your code unused...

BOOL CXTPPropertySheet::IsWizard() const
{
// Not implemented

return FALSE; //m_psh.dwFlags & (PSH_WIZARD | PSH_WIZARD97);

}

To take control over multipage printing of xaml documents I made 2 members public:

1.
class _XTP_EXT_CLASS CXTPMarkupVisual
CPoint m_ptVisualOffset; // The offset value of the visual object.

2.
class _XTP_EXT_CLASS CXTPMarkupUIElement
CSize m_szDesiredSize; // Gets the size that this element computed during the measure pass of the layout process

It would be nice you make them public or add multi page printing support.
I was asking about it here:

Could be possible to add [virtual] to these functions ?

PropertyGrid\XTPPropertyGridItem.h
LN608: [add:[virtual]] CString GetValue() const;

PropertyGrid\XTPPropertyGridInplaceButton.h
LN69: [add:[virtual]] int GetWidth();
LN89: [add:[virtual]] CString SetCaption() const;

Please change these functions!

void AddComboButton(BOOL bInside = FALSE);
void AddExpandButton(BOOL bInside = FALSE);
void AddSpinButton(BOOL bInside = FALSE);

Should be:
CXTPReportInplaceButton* AddComboButton(BOOL bInside = FALSE);
CXTPReportInplaceButton* AddExpandButton(BOOL bInside = FALSE);
CXTPReportInplaceButton* AddSpinButton(BOOL bInside = FALSE);

It's brain-damaged not to return the added pointer-value! :(

It is too late for 13.1 but I'd like to see CXTResizePropertySheet get the same automatic placement handling that CXTPPropertySheet does, which means adding the following to OnInitDialog



if (!m_strSection.IsEmpty())
{

LoadPlacement(m_strSection);
}

Also, can you please either make m_strSection (in CXTResize) public rather than protected, or add a public function that allows it to be set. AutoLoadPlacement() doesn't really do this job as it tries to set the window position immediately, which bombs if the window has not yet been created.

What I would like to do is the following:



CXTResizePropertySheet sheet;
// add pages here
sheet.m_strSection = _T("Foo");
sheet.DoModal();

Currently, to do this I have to subclass CXTResizePropertysheet and this seems unnecessary.

Thanks!

Robin

CXTPImageManager.AddIcons
Change

void AddIcons(CXTPImageManager* pImageManager);

void AddIcons(CXTPImageManager* pImageManager, UINT* pCommands=NULL, int nCount=0);

i want copy command range, not all.

I want track changes of CXTPCommandBarsOptions::bDirtyState


void CXTPCommandBars::ToggleVisible(int nIndex)
{
    ASSERT(nIndex >= 0 && nIndex < GetCount());

    CXTPToolBar* pBar = GetAt(nIndex);
    if (pBar)
    {
        pBar->SetVisible(!pBar->IsVisible()); << bDirtyState changes here already
    }

    m_pOptions->bDirtyState = TRUE; << unnecessary and IMHO wrong 
}

I overload CXTPToolBar::SetVisible and CXTPToolBar::OnLButtonDown and CXTPToolBar::OnNcLButtonDown function to track CXTPCommandBarsOptions::bDirtyState, but i can't change CXTPCommandBars::ToggleVisible :(
After tracking i change CXTPCommandBarsOptions::bDirtyState to FALSE, but at CXTPCommandBars::ToggleVisible it changes to TRUE back :(
1. Add virtual to CXTPCommandBars::ToggleVisible
2. Add virtual CXTPCommandBarsOptions::SetDirtyState
I want track bDirtyState to save CommandBars at the time of change (i Serialize them)

void CXTPZipMemFile::AttachCompressedBuffer

void CXTPZipMemFile::DetachCompressedBuffer

Both these should return a BOOL! Especially the first one.

Perhaps CXTPToolTipContext should have a Clone()-function, so that you can easily copy tooltip-styles between controls?

Please add GetDefaultValue() to CXTPPropertyGridItem (counterpart to SetDefaultValue())

Date Posted: 05 August 2009 at 8:35am

What's the point of deriving CXTPPropertyGridItemConstraint when you cannot use the class?

CXTPPropertyGridItemConstraint* CXTPPropertyGridItemConstraints::AddConstraint(LPCTSTR str, DWORD_PTR dwData, int nImage)
{
CXTPPropertyGridItemConstraint* pConstaint = new CXTPPropertyGridItemConstraint();

...

You should have another "AddConstraint" that accepts a CXTPPropertyGridItemConstraint pointer!

void CreateMultiRowIndexer(CXTPTabManager* pTabManager, CDC* pDC, int nWidth);
in XTPTabPaintManager should be virtual

CXTPMarkupUIElement* m_pMarkupUIElement; in CXTPReportGroupRow should have a GetMarkupUIElement() function;

I have a new one. When you close a message bar from the SC_CLOSE button, it should post a message to its parent, so we can tell if it's closed. E.g. something like

void CXTPMessageBar::Click(CXTPMessageBarButton* pButton)
{
     if (pButton->m_nID == SC_CLOSE)
     {
          SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOACTIVATE | SWP_HIDEWINDOW);

               ::PostMessage(m_pParent->m_hWnd, WM_XTP_MESSAGEBARCLOSED, 0, 0);
          m_pCommandBars->RecalcFrameLayout();
     }
     else
     {
          m_pCommandBars->GetSite()->SendMessage(WM_COMMAND, pButton->m_nID);
     }
}
