Vertical orientated captions of a docking pane are displayed wrong, if the Office2013 theme is used.

The caption string and the buttons are still horizontal orientated and therefore clipped by the caption rectangle.

This bug still exists in the Office2016 theme of the beta version 18.

You can reproduce this problem with the 'pane' example of your sample programs.

With best regards

Hello again. I found a solution. Could you please verify the following source code patch.

void CXTPDockingPaneOffice2013Theme::DrawCaption(CDC *pDC, CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer *pPane, CRect rc)

{

#ifdef PATCHED_VERSION

BOOL bVertical = pPane->IsCaptionVertical();

int nTitleHeight = m_nTitleHeight;

CRect rcCaption(rc);

if (bVertical)

{

rcCaption.DeflateRect(0, 0, rc.Width() - nTitleHeight - XTP_DPI_X(5), 0);

}

else

{

rcCaption.DeflateRect(0, 0, 0, rc.Height() - nTitleHeight - XTP_DPI_Y(5));

}

DrawTitleBar(pDC, pPane, rcCaption, bVertical );

#else

// Caption

CRect rcCaption(rc);

rcCaption.bottom = rcCaption.top + m_nTitleHeight;

DrawTitleBar(pDC, pPane, rcCaption, FALSE);

#endif

}

I am not quite sure about the correction terms XTP_DPI_Y(5) and XTP_DPI_X(5).

With best regards

Hello Marcus,

I think problem in hardcoded horizontal caption in CXTPDockingPaneOffice2013Theme::DrawCaption and other places

DrawTitleBar(pDC, pPane, rcCaption, FALSE);

try only

DrawTitleBar(pDC, pPane, rcCaption, pPane->IsCaptionVertical());

Hello Oleksandr

I have just tried version 18.0.1 and applied your patch. But the result is still wrong.

You have to recalculate the cation rectangle!

You can simply reproduce this effect:

1. Start the pane sample program

2. Select a office 2013 or 2016 theme

3. Select the menu entry 'Docking Pane | Captions | Vertical'

With best regards

Your changes are accepted.

The same fix in CXTPDockingPaneVisualStudio2012Theme which also affects on VS2015 theme.
