I noticed the "Automatic" button of a Color TearOff bar could be set a color in Office applications. A small square color icon is displayed the left side of the button.

How could I do the same with CodeJock? I am not sure how this could be done by modifying the TearOff example.

Oleg, do you have any suggestions?

Hello,

Only manually to draw it.

Some steps:

1. create custom Control derived from CXTPControlButtonColor

class _XTP_EXT_CLASS CMyControlButtonColor: public CXTPControlButtonColor
{
DECLARE_XTP_CONTROL(CMyControlButtonColor)
public:

void Draw(CDC* pDC);
};

2. in cpp:

IMPLEMENT_XTP_CONTROL(CMyControlButtonColor, CXTPControlButtonColor)

void CMyControlButtonColor::Draw(CDC* pDC)
{
CXTPControlButtonColor::Draw(CDC* pDC)

// Draw some color.
}

and use it instead CXTPControlButtonColor.

Hi, Oleg,

What are the following lines of codes in your suggestion doing?

_XTP_EXT_CLASS

DECLARE_XTP_CONTROL(CMyControlButtonColor)

IMPLEMENT_XTP_CONTROL(CMyControlButtonColor, CXTPControlButtonColor)

In my derived class, if put these in, I would get errors during compilation of my program. Do you mean if I want to create new derive classes and place header and CPP files into source directory, I should add these things?

Hi,

Right, sorry. You don't need _XTP_EXT_CLASS
