I accomplished this by using a xtpControlLabel as the first control, instead of using the label on the xtpControlEdit, or whatever control you are using.

Hi;

I do this allready! First I load the toolbar ressource, then I create two xtpControlLabel controls:

    pGroup=TabReports->AddGroup(ID_GROUP_REPORT_DATETIME);
    CXTPControl* pControl = pGroup->Add(xtpControlLabel, ID_REPORT_DATE_FROM_CAPTION, 0, 0);
    pControl->SetID(0);
    pControl->SetStyle(xtpButtonCaption);

    pControl = pGroup->Add(xtpControlLabel, ID_REPORT_DATE_TO_CAPTION, 0, 2);
    pControl->SetID(0);
    pControl->SetStyle(xtpButtonCaption);

In OnCreateControl I create my two custom controls to enter timestamps:

    // Create the timestamp control
    if (lpCreateControl->nID == ID_REPORT_DATETIME_FROM)
    {
        FromTime_.AllowEmptyTimestamp(true);
        FromTime_.SetShowSeconds(false);
        FromTime_.SetButtonGap(0);
        if (!FromTime_.Create(0, WS_TABSTOP | WS_CHILD | TSCS_HASCALENDARBUTTON | TSCS_AUTOSIZE, 
                              CRect(0,0,160,22), this, ID_REPORT_DATETIME_FROM ))
            return FALSE;

        CSize size(FromTime_.GetBestFit());
        FromTime_.SetWindowPos(0, 0, 0, size.cx, size.cy, SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOACTIVATE|SWP_NOZORDER);
        FromTime_.ClearSelection();

        CXTPControlCustom* pControl = CXTPControlCustom::CreateControlCustom(&FromTime_);
        pControl->SetBorders(0, 3, 0, 3);
        // Set the xtpFlagManualUpdate flag.
        // Without this flag you must call the Enable member of
        // CCmdUI in the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler.
        pControl->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);

        lpCreateControl->pControl = pControl;
        return TRUE;
    }

Why do you create two captions? And move the second caption after the second index?

I would just create one label, and the the two custom controls.

Hi;

Just after posting my initial question I had to change the layout due to customers wishes I recognized later. The new layout should be this:

Any ideas how to achieve this kind of layout?
