Hi,

I have a problem with checkbox control in the RibbonBar.
When placing controls in a group, checkbox is always positioned at the top of the column. Even if one is followed by the another checkbox, the second checkbox is also positioned in the new column.

I have tried to force wrap by setting xtpFlagWrapRow flag, but it didn't help either.

Is there any way to circumvent this? I'm using toolkitpro version 11.1.3

Best Regards,
Pavol.

Hi,

Here is the code for the problematic checkboxes:

CXTPRibbonGroup* pGroup=AddGroup(ID_OBJECT_LINES_GROUP);
pGroup->SetControlsCentering(TRUE);

.....

{
    CXTPControl* pControl=
        pGroup->Add(xtpControlCheckBox, ID_CONNECT_LINES_3D);
    pControl->SetTag(VIEWID(NView::ELEMID_CONNECT_LINES, 0));
    pControl->SetBeginGroup(TRUE);
}

{
    CXTPControl* pControl=
        pGroup->Add(xtpControlCheckBox, ID_CONNECT_LINES_WIDTH_BY_OBJECT);
    pControl->SetTag(VIEWID(NView::ELEMID_CONNECT_LINES, 0));
}

And here is the screenshot:

Hello,

Sorry, again can't reproduce.

I tried add this code to our sample:

CXTPRibbonGroup* pGroupShowHide = pTabView->AddGroup(ID_GROUP_SHOWHIDE);
pGroupShowHide->SetControlsCentering(TRUE);

pGroupShowHide->Add(xtpControlComboBox, ID_EDIT_PASTE)->SetStyle(xtpButtonIconAndCaption);;
pGroupShowHide->Add(xtpControlComboBox, ID_EDIT_PASTE)->SetStyle(xtpButtonIconAndCaption);;
pGroupShowHide->Add(xtpControlPopup, ID_EDIT_PASTE)->SetStyle(xtpButtonIconAndCaption);
pControl = pGroupShowHide->Add(xtpControlCheckBox, ID_VIEW_RULER);
pControl->SetBeginGroup(TRUE);
pControl->SetCaption("3D Lines");
pControl = pGroupShowHide->Add(xtpControlCheckBox, ID_VIEW_GRIDLINES);
pControl->SetCaption("Width By Object");

and see it right. May be something was fixed in newer versions. Can you download 11.2.1 to check ?

I tried to insert your code into our application and play around to see what causes the problem.

Finally I have found the problem. In our code, the second checkbox is associated with a resource, that have an icon. In the case of checkbox it is used only for tooltip. Yet, the framework probably applied default button style (xtpButtonIconAndCaptionBelow) when it was positioning the checkxbox.

Using pControl->SetStype(xtpButtonIconAndCaption) have fixed the problem.
