Topic: Group bar icon size

Subject: Group bar icon size
Date Posted: 01 June 2007 at 5:54am

We are using task panel control with VC++ 6.0.
Two questions/problems with changing the size of our group bar icons.

Our standard icon size is 45(width) x 24(height), we would like to use these on items and group bars.

The SetGroupIconSize(x,y) method does not work as documented (or like the SetIconSize method). The two parameters are listed as x and y. however, when we set the FIRST parameter this changes the HEIGHT of the icon. Changing the SECOND paramter has no effect - the group bar icon is always displayed with width 16.

Any ideas?

Thanks Oleg,

First thing we do is call the following once

SetGroupIconSize(24, 45)

Then for an item that is a group bar (e.g Devices), we do the following:-

hComponentIcon = LoadIcon(IDI_RC_DEVICES_EXE);

if (hComponentIcon != NULL)
{
nImageIndex = AddImage((long)hComponentIcon);

CTaskPanelGroup group = GetGroups().Add(nGroupID, "Devcies");
group.SetIconIndex(imageIndex);
group = AddGroup(strText, nImageIndex);
}

Hi,

I sure problem in LoadIcon you use. By Default it loads 32*32 icons. Create Bitmap and load it Icons collection.

Hi Oleg,

This issue has now been resolved.

You were right in that the problem was with the LoadIcon we usd. We replaced it with LoadImage and all is well with the world again.

Thanks once again for pointing me in the right direction
