How can I create a shortcut bar (similar to the one shown in the image) on

 

a dialog. Also I would want the shortcut bar to behave in the same way as

 

shown.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks.

 

shown when resizing of the dialog is done.

 

You can crate in like our sample using Create method, or if you want to add it to resources - add custom control with window class = "XTPShortcutBar".

 

I had tried the provided sample code by simply creating a dialog and

placing the following code snippet (taken from XTPro 'ShortcutBar'

workspace) in the 'OnInitDialog'

 

Please check the code and the corresponding comments (or questions)

 

 CXTPShortcutBar  cxtpsbShortcutBar;

 cxtpsbShortcutBar.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_CLIPCHILDREN|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, CRect(50, 50, 50, 50),  this, 32935); 

/*What would be the likely values for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th arguments in the above statement for a simple newly created dialog*/

 cxtpsbShortcutBar.SetOwner(this);
 cxtpsbShortcutBar.GetToolTipContext()->SetStyle(xtpToolTipOffice);

 XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(IDB_SHORTCUTS_SMALL,
  shortcuts, sizeof(shortcuts)/sizeof(UINT), CSize(16, 16));

 CXTPShortcutBarItem* pItemMail = cxtpsbShortcutBar.AddItem ID_SHORTCUT_MAIL);
 cxtpsbShortcutBar.AddItem(ID_SHORTCUT_CALENDAR);
 cxtpsbShortcutBar.AddItem(ID_SHORTCUT_CONTACTS);
 cxtpsbShortcutBar.AddItem(ID_SHORTCUT_TASKS);
 cxtpsbShortcutBar.AddItem(ID_SHORTCUT_NOTES);
 cxtpsbShortcutBar.AddItem(ID_SHORTCUT_FOLDERS);
 cxtpsbShortcutBar.AddItem(ID_SHORTCUT_SHORTCUTS);
 cxtpsbShortcutBar.AddItem(ID_SHORTCUT_JOURNAL);

 cxtpsbShortcutBar.SelectItem(pItemMail);
 cxtpsbShortcutBar.LoadState(_T("ShortcutBar"));

 

I've also included the following code (as global array) in the same .cpp file

where the above code is placed :

 

static UINT shortcuts[] =
{
 ID_SHORTCUT_MAIL,
 ID_SHORTCUT_CALENDAR,
 ID_SHORTCUT_CONTACTS,
 ID_SHORTCUT_TASKS,
 ID_SHORTCUT_NOTES,
 ID_SHORTCUT_FOLDERS,
 ID_SHORTCUT_SHORTCUTS,
 ID_SHORTCUT_JOURNAL
};

 

I have imported 'IDB_SHORTCUTS_SMALL' bitmap and placed it under

'Bitmap' in the Resource view and have created the above identifiers in

the string table as in the sample workspace.

 

Is there anything else which I've missed out ?

 

I'm looking for an output where my dialog would launch with the said

bitmap in a specified position (say at the middle) and when resizing of the

dialog is done it would behave in the same way as shown in the image.

 

Thanx for your effort.

 

yes, code looks right - only move "CXTPShortcutBar  cxtpsbShortcutBar" to members of dialog and make some visible rect in second parameter - CRect(0, 0, 50, 100)

 

But when I resize the dialog, the behaviour of the shortcut bar is not the same as shown in the image (ie the icons move downwards).

 

Where and how is this handled in the Sample workspace and could I handle it for a dialog using the 'right' position of the dialog (as in a CRect's 3rd argument)

 

Basically I'm looking for the icons to be displayed below when the right edge of the dialog is dragged over the shortcut bar, leading to hiding the icons in the bar.

 

Thanx.

 

Handle WM_SIZE message and move Shortcutbar to position you need.

 

How can I do this for a dynamically created control ?

 

And, How can I move the icons on the control bar below on resizing of the

 

dialog?

 

Please explain.

 

Thanx
