RibbonBar use of xtpControlCustom

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Using the RibbonBar, I've added a xtpControlCustom item the DateTimePicker and it shows up in the RibbonBar until I click it.  Then it shows up as a button. 

   Dim TabAdvanced As RibbonTab
   Set TabAdvanced = RibbonBar.InsertTab(7, "&Advanced")
   TabAdvanced.Id = ID_TAB_ADVANCED

   Set ViewGroup = TabAdvanced.Groups.AddGroup("&Advanced Controls", ID_GROUP_ADVANCED)
   ViewGroup.ControlsCentering = True

   Dim ItemCustom As XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarControlCustom
   Set ItemCustom = ViewGroup.Add(xtpControlCustom, 777, "Time", False, False)
   ItemCustom.Handle = TimePicker.hWnd
Before Click:

After Click:

Any ideas on how to keep this visible as a control and not a caption???

Thanks,

Tim

	Hi, Try to put control to PictureBox and attach PictureBox instead.

	Oleg, Once again, Thank you for your help. I had put the control in a picture box but had been referencing the control still. Upon refernce to the picture box, the control works in the ribbonBar. Cheers! Tim
