Explorer Band Objects - XPToolBar

[Sebastien Lange]

Hi,

I successfully created a Toolbar for Windows Explorer (Band Object) using XPToolBar.
But... the toolbar is not drawn fine:
The baritems are not highlighted on mouseover and we don't see the whole button.
You can find attached a sample project.
For more information on Band Objects, see http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/dotnetbandobjects.asp
I added the same toolbar in a simple form and it is drawn correctly.
Is it a bug?

Sebastien,

Yes, there was a small bug in our code. As a quick workaround please derive and override this method in XPToolbar (we will take care of this in our next release):

protected override bool RequiresActiveFormForMouseTrack()
{
// Native apps should return false; .Net apps will return true.
return false;
}

Could you elaborate on the whole button not being visible? I suppose changing the MinSize property of the UserControl will make all the buttons visible all the time.
