Hi!

Is there a way to make CExtLabel handle the End/Word Ellipsis or Simple properties of CStatic controls? As far as I can tell the CExtLabel will always do multiline if its text doesn’t fit in a single line but there is enough space vertically.

I would also like to know when can we expect a release fixing the ribbon problems I reported some time ago?

Regards

Thank you for reporting the problem. To fix it, please update the CExtLabel::DoPaint() method using the code below and recompile the library.

void CExtLabel::DoPaint( 
    CDC * pDC,
    CRect & rcClient
    )
{
    ASSERT_VALID( this );
    ASSERT_VALID( pDC );
CExtMemoryDC dc(
        pDC,
        &rcClient
        );
CRgn rgnClient;
    if( rgnClient.CreateRectRgnIndirect( &rcClient ) )
        dc.SelectClipRgn( &rgnClient );

    OnEraseBackground( dc, rcClient );

DWORD dwWndStyle = GetStyle();
DWORD dwWndType = (dwWndStyle&SS_TYPEMASK);
    if( dwWndType == SS_ICON )
    {
        HICON hIcon = GetIcon();
        if( hIcon != NULL )
        {
            CExtCmdIcon _icon;
            _icon.AssignFromHICON( hIcon, true );
            CSize szIcon = _icon.GetSize();
            bool bCenterImage = ( (dwWndStyle&SS_CENTERIMAGE) != 0 );
            int nOffsetX = bCenterImage ? (rcClient.Width() - szIcon.cx) / 2 : 0;
            int nOffsetY = bCenterImage ? (rcClient.Height() - szIcon.cy) / 2 : 0;
            _icon.Paint(
                PmBridge_GetPM(),
                dc.GetSafeHdc(),
                 rcClient.left + nOffsetX,
                 rcClient.top + nOffsetY,
                -1,
