Create a standard App with ribbon, then add this to the CMainFrame::InitializeRibbon() at the appropriate place.
// Create panel
CMFCRibbonPanel* pMyPanel = pCategory->AddPanel(L"Test", m_PanelImages.ExtractIcon(27));
// Add wide combobox with short label to panel
m_pMyCombo = new CMFCRibbonComboBox(ID_MYCOMBO, false, 150, L"Short:");
m_pMyCombo->AddItem(L"Just some test data");
pMyPanel->Add(m_pMyCombo);
// Add narrow edit with longer label to panel.
CMFCRibbonEdit* pMyEdit = new CMFCRibbonEdit(ID_MYEDIT, 50, L"Longer label:");
pMyPanel->Add(pMyEdit);
Issue 1: The combobox "sticks" to the top of the panel. The edit control "sticks" to the combobox. There is about 1/3 of the height unused.
Is there a way to make these 2 controls use the full height ? I can use pMyPanel->SetCenterColumnVert(); But the 2 controls are still stuck together although they're now vertically centered. What I'm really after is that there is more or less even spacing above and below the controls.
Issue 2: this looks like
Short: [______________________|v]
Longer label: [___]
which isn't really looking nice.
I can call SetJustifyColums() but this results in
Short: [______________________|v]
Longer label: [___]
which may seem OK enough, but if the length of the labels reverses it gives:
Longer label: [______________________|v]
Short: [___]
which isn't really looking OK.
I'd really like to get this to like you'd normally make a dialog. Labels left aligned and controls left aligned also.
Short: [______________________|v]
Longer label: [___]
How can these issues be solved?
