I'm trying to create a Tab Menu similar to the one in WMP 11. Does Codejock XTP have any controls like this? Or does anyone know how do create this using MFC?

It looks like a split button. But normally, the style of the split button with only caption and no icon is to have the drop-down button on the right side of the button, not on the bottom. You could use a trick, creating transparent icon 1x1 pixel in size. Then you can use button style xtpButtonIconAndCaptionBelow to make something like that button you posted.
I am not sure if this will work, but that is what I would try to do.
As for the colors, you can create your own style dll, with your own graphics.
Sincerely,

I'm getting closer. Using the (undocumented) xtpButtonIconAndCaptionBelow style on a xtpControlSplitButtonPopup control, I get this:
 Unfortunately, the caption is on the wrong part of the button. Its on the popup menu instead of the button. Anyone know how to move it?

I created an issue with Codejock support asking if it was possible to move the caption. Oleg responded saying they would add a flag in the next major release. |
