I've submitted a support request via the official channel, but it's been two weeks now and no response. So, opening it up:

Has anyone found a way to allow the title bar of a dialogbar to be gripped? I have created a few dialogbars, but so far the only way to move them is by gripping the tiny gripper dots at the top, not the whole title bar, which intuitively doesn't make sense from a user interface perspective.

Any help appreciated!

I have found a hack-ish way, hoping a better method comes along soon:

In XTPToolBar.cpp:

OnLButtonDown:

change m_pControls->HitTest(point) test line to:

CXTPControl *pControl = m_pControls->HitTest(point);
	if ( pControl == NULL || (m_pControls->GetCount() == 2 && pControl == m_pControls->GetAt(1)) )//CControlCaptionPopup)

then in the function OnSetCursor, under if (IsDialogBar()) change:

rcGripper.right = rcGripper.left + rcBorder.left + szGripper.cx;

to:

if ( ((CXTPDialogBar*)this)->m_bCaptionVisible)
	rcGripper.right -= 20;
else
	rcGripper.right = rcGripper.left + rcBorder.left + szGripper.cx;

(also include XTPDialogBar.h at the top)

Of course, the OnLButtonDown change only works if only DialogBars have two controls embedded. This is true for my app but if yours has a toolbar with, say, 2 buttons only then it probably won't work right.

Hi, the submission I had in was 28048, it's on a different subject. I had been waiting for that one to be resolved before adding others, like this.

OK, please don't post misleading information. On the other issue we need your app or sample to reproduce.

For THIS issue open a ticket and I'll attach the fix.

Ok, thank you for your fast response. The other issue I was waiting 2 weeks to get a reply before submitting this one, I didn't hear back until a phone call was placed yesterday, then they requested a sample which I am preparing.
