Is it possible to create and show a CXTPControlGallery directly from a button, or e.g. from a verb link in a property editor? It would be great if it is possible to just launch this control without the need of a menu or ribbon.

Hi,

its just 4 additional lines to create CXTPPopupBar, add gallery to it and run it with CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu.

Maybe you could give me a little more insight in how to do it.

I cannot create the

CXTPControlGalleryItems::CreateItems(GetCommandBars()...

because I don have access to GetCommandBars ?

And how to attach it to a TrackPopupMenu ?

Thanks,

Hi,

You don't have CommandBars at all?

here sample for this case:

void CDialogSampleDlg::OnButton1()
{
CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = (CXTPCommandBars*)CXTPCommandBars::CreateObject();
pCommandBars->SetSite(this);
pCommandBars->SetTheme(xtpThemeOffice2003);

CXTPPopupBar* pPopupBar = CXTPPopupBar::CreatePopupBar(pCommandBars);

CPoint point;
GetCursorPos(&point);

CXTPControlGalleryItems* pItems = CXTPControlGalleryItems::CreateItems(pCommandBars, 100);
pItems->SetItemSize(CSize(0, 20));

CXTPControlGalleryItem* pItem = pItems->AddLabel(0);
pItem->SetCaption(_T("Lines"));

pItems->AddItem("Item");

CXTPControlGallery* pGallery = new CXTPControlGallery();
pGallery->SetItems(pItems);

pPopupBar->GetControls()->Add(pGallery);

pCommandBars->TrackPopupMenu(pPopupBar, TPM_NONOTIFY, point.x, point.y, this);

pPopupBar->InternalRelease();
pCommandBars->InternalRelease();

}

Great it works!

One small issue, - how do I pre-select and scroll to a pre-selected item, before calling the TrackPopupMenu ?

It seems that SetSelectedItem works, but EnsureVisible is not working because of a missing GetParent ?

Hi,

Do you call EnsureVisible after pPopupBar->GetControls()->Add(pGallery); line ?

Yes, it does the focus and selection. But if the item specified is not visible at startup, the control does not scroll into position.

pGallery->SetResizable();
pGallery->SetItemsMargin(0, 1, 0, 1);
pGallery->ShowLabels(FALSE);
pGallery->ShowBorders(TRUE);
pGallery->SetItems(pItems);
pPopupBar->GetControls()->Add(pGallery);
pGallery->SetSelectedItem(5);
pGallery->EnsureVisible(5);
UINT ret = pCommandBars->TrackPopupMenu(pPopupBar,
TPM_NONOTIFY|TPM_RETURNCMD|TPM_LEFTALIGN|TPM_RIGHTBUTTON,
point.x,point.y,pNode);

Using xtpThemeOffice2007 instead of xtpThemeOffice2003 throws an assertion in ASSERT(pImageArrowGlyphs); when TrackPopupMenu is called.

Hi,

You need add office2007 bitmaps to your exe.

#include "Styles\Office2007Blue\Office2007Blue.rc"
