Please give me some idea!

 

if I create a DatePickerComboBox like the DatePicker Sample, how to put it in ribbonbar?

 

and is there any better idea?

 

sincerely

Use CXTPControlCustom.

but I don't know how to use CXTPControlCustom!

 

i write my code like this:

 

 CXTPRibbonTab* pTab = pRibbonBar->AddTab(ID_TAB_CALENDAR);
 CXTPRibbonGroup* pGroup = pTab->AddGroup(ID_GROUP_CALENDAR);
 pGroup->SetControlsCentering(true);
 CXTPControlCustom* pDatePicker = new CXTPControlCustom();
 CXTPDatePickerControl* pDatePickerCtrl = new CXTPDatePickerControl();
 pDatePicker->SetControl(pDatePickerCtrl);
 pGroup->Add(pDatePicker, ID_DATE_PICKER);

 

it doesn't show the datepicker!

 

help me

I modified my code like this:

 

 pTab = pRibbonBar->AddTab(ID_TAB_CALENDAR);
 CXTPRibbonGroup* pGroup = pTab->AddGroup(ID_GROUP_CALENDAR);
 pGroup->SetControlsCentering(true);
 CXTPControlCustom* pDatePicker = new CXTPControlCustom();
 CXTPDatePickerControl* pDatePickerCtrl = new CXTPDatePickerControl();
 pDatePickerCtrl->Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0, 0, 300, 128), pRibbonBar, ID_DATE_PICKER_CTRL);
 pDatePicker->SetControl(pDatePickerCtrl);
 pGroup->Add(pDatePicker, ID_DATE_PICKER);

 

then it shows on ribbon. but, because the height of CXTPDatePickerControl is bigger than the height of RibbonBar, it shows only the top of CXTPDatePickerControl. it's ugly!

 

who can give me a better idea?
thanks!

try DatePickerComboBox  instead of CXTPDatePickerControl

 

but i don't like DatePickerComboBox, because it is not derived from CXTPControlComboBox.

Can u show me how to derive it from CXTPControlComboBox?

 

i find another choice. like this:

 

 pTab = pRibbonBar->AddTab(ID_TAB_CALENDAR);
 CXTPRibbonGroup* pGroup = pTab->AddGroup(ID_GROUP_CALENDAR);
 pGroup->SetControlsCentering(true);
 pControl = pGroup->Add(xtpControlSplitButtonPopup, ID_DATE_TEXT); // just static text to show date
 pControl->SetID(0);
 pControl->SetStyle(xtpButtonCaption);
 CXTPControlCustom* pDatePicker = new CXTPControlCustom();
 CXTPDatePickerControl* pDateCtrl = new CXTPDatePickerControl();
 pDateCtrl->Create(WS_TABSTOP | WS_CHILD, CRect(0, 0, 290, 400), pRibbonBar, ID_DATE_PICKER_CTRL);
  pDatePicker->SetControl(pDateCtrl);
  pDatePicker->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);
 pControl->GetCommandBar()->GetControls()->Add(pDatePicker, ID_DATE_PICKER);

 

It's nice except one problem. after i clicked the down arrow, the DatePicker is shown as a drop list, and it's ok. but it doesn't disappear after i cliked a 'date'!

 

You have manually catch it and close popup - GetCommandBars()->ClosePopups().

 

And, it will be very appreciate if u teach me how to "catch it menually".
