Hi,

I have a combo shown in a ribbon group.

I'd like the combo to be below icon and caption, not on the right of as you can see here.

Any suggestion?

Thank you very much

Hi,

You can make 2 separate controls - xtpControlLabel with icon and caption + Combo without Icon and caption.

... You're right!

And... for setting a control position inside a group?

E.g., bottom/right

Hi,

There is no such method :( If you don't like how Group position it with//without SetControlsCentering option you can override CXTPRibbonGroup::OnCalcDynamicSize and manually position them.

Hi,

I've tried to override the method you've suggest.

For fastly seeing the result, I've tried to do this:


int CMyRibbonGroup::OnCalcDynamicSize(CDC* pDC))
{
   if(m_bReduced)
       return CXTPRibbonGroup::OnCalcDynamicSize(pDC);
 
   int nResultHeight = GetRibbonBar()->CalcGroupsHeight() - 8 - GetRibbonBar()->GetRibbonPaintManager()->GetGroupCaptionHeight();
   CXTPControl *pControl = GetAt(0);
   CSize szControl = pControl->GetSize(pDC);
   int dx = szControl.cx;
   int dy = szControl.cy;
   pControl->SetRect(CRect(x,0,x+dx,dy));
 
   return _bignumber;
}

I can't see anything in my group.

Is it correct to call CXTPControl::SetRect?

EDIT: The first time the group is shown I can't see anything...

If I minimize and then maximize the ribbon, I can see them...

And then if I switch tabs, they "go down" until they are not visible yet.

Why?

Hi,

Sorry, CONTROLINFO is declared as private type of CXTPRibbnoGroup and seems you can't access it to position controls. Sorry our bad - we will move it to protected section (please also patch your sources) - you will be able to change m_pLayoutInfo array. See how original method works:

int nDataCount = m_pLayoutInfo->nControlCount;
CONTROLINFO* pData = m_pLayoutInfo->pControls;

for (int i = 0; i < nDataCount; i++)
{
CONTROLINFO* pControl = &pData;

  BOOL bFullRow = pControl->pControl->GetStyle() == xtpButtonIconAndCaptionBelow;
  pControl->EnsureButtonSize(pDC);
  CSize szControl = pControl->szControl;

  int dx = szControl.cx;
  int dy = szControl.cy;

  BOOL bBeginGroup = pControl->bBeginGroup && i > 0;
  BOOL bWrapGroup = pControl->bWrapGroup && i > 0;

  if (bBeginGroup)
   x += 6;

  if (i > 0 && !bWrapGroup && !bFullRow && dyPrev + dy <= nResultHeight)
  {
   pControl->rcControl.SetRect(x, dyPrev, x + dx, dyPrev + dy);

   dxPrev = max(dxPrev, dx);
  }
  else
  {
   x += dxPrev;
   pControl->rcControl.SetRect(x, 0, x + dx, dy);
   dxPrev = dx;
  }
  sizeResult.cx = max(x + dx, sizeResult.cx);

  dyPrev = pControl->rcControl.bottom;
}

It works now.

Thank you!

Is there also a method for setting the position of icon and caption, when the style is

"icon and caption below"?
