We have a touch screen, and the toolbar is too small to hit with

  • 0

We have a touch screen, and the toolbar is too small to hit with my meaty fingers. Is there an easy way I can have an option to make the toolbar buttons bigger and easier to hit?

So far I’ve attempted a few things:

m_toolbar.SetSizes( CSize(64,64), CSize(50,50) ); m_toolbar.SetSizes( CSize(64,64), CSize(50,50) ); m_toolbar.GetToolBarCtrl().SetButtonWidth( 64, 64 ); m_toolbar.GetToolBarCtrl().SetButtonSize( CSize(64, 64) );

None of these approaches stretches the images as well. The buttons get larger, and are fully functional, but the images do not overlap the buttons the way they normally would. I would prefer to keep a single image list for the icons, and have the images stretched to fit.

  1. At toolbar creation time, create an empty CImageList with size 64×64 (let’s call it large). Load the original image list from resources (we call it small).

    Iterate over each image in small and copy/resize it to large. Then assign large to your toolbar. Somewhat cumbersome bui should work.

    HTH,
