I am currently developing a little practice application as I familiarize myself with this great package... but I am having a little trouble with something...

I have used the TaskPanel sample application as a guide to creating a similar application, but I would like to have a little more flexibility with the main portion of the program. The TaskPanel seems to use a CListCtrl, I would like to be able to use a tab control, or even have it display a bitmap... I am having trouble implementing something like this.

If there are any sample apps that do this, or if anyone has any suggestions about how to go about this, I would greatly appreciate the help.

Hey Mike,

I'm using the active-x vesion but I think the same thing holds true of the MFC one. You can just add an item to the group using the "xtpTaskItemTypeControl" style. Then assign the Handle property the handle of the control you want displayed in the task panel (or you can use the Control property).

I display a child dialog that has several controls on it as a single item.

Im not so sure xtpTaskItemTypeControl applies to MFC

If it does, I havent been able to find any documetation or examples of it.

I'm not sure about MFC but when using WTL I go:

ITaskPanelGroupItemPtr controlItem2 = group3->Items->Add( 5, "Test Custom4 Control", XtremeSuiteControls::xtpTaskItemTypeControl );

controlItem2->Handle = (int)myControlToAddToTaskPane->hwnd();
