I have update the MFC static control presented in the previous articles by adding methods for setting text range color, typography and inline images.
Code samples
Setting text range color
void CDemoDlg::_DoDemo_Effects()
{
m_staticDemo.Clear();
const CString strTagRed = _T("RED");
const CString strTagGreen = _T("GREEN");
const CString strTagBlue = _T("BLUE");
CString strText;
strText.Format(_T("IDWriteTextLayout::SetDrawingEffect can change the color")
_T(" of a text range as for example: \n\t%s\n\t%s\n\t%s"),
strTagRed, strTagGreen, strTagBlue);
m_staticDemo.SetText(strText);
// set text range colors
m_staticDemo.SetTextColor(strText.Find(strTagRed), strTagRed.GetLength(), RGB(255,0,0));
m_staticDemo.SetTextColor(strText.Find(strTagGreen), strTagGreen.GetLength(), RGB(0, 255, 0));
m_staticDemo.SetTextColor(strText.Find(strTagBlue), strTagBlue.GetLength(), RGB(0, 0, 255));
}
Setting text range typography
void CDemoDlg::_DoDemo_Typography()
{
m_staticDemo.Clear();
const CString strTagFontTypography = _T("Fancy Typography Rendering");
CString strText;
strText.Format(_T("Some OpenType fonts (e.g. Microsoft’s Gabriola) support %s"),
strTagFontTypography);
m_staticDemo.SetText(strText);
const UINT32 nStartPos = strText.Find(strTagFontTypography);
const UINT32 nLength = strTagFontTypography.GetLength();
// set an OpenType font which supports typography features
m_staticDemo.SetFontFamilyName(nStartPos, nLength, _T("Gabriola"));
// set feature
m_staticDemo.SetFontTypography(nStartPos, nLength, DWRITE_FONT_FEATURE_TAG_STYLISTIC_SET_7);
}
Setting inline images
void CDemoDlg::_DoDemo_InlineImages()
{
m_staticDemo.Clear();
const CString strTagImageRings = _T("[IMAGE:RINGS]");
const CString strTagImageRose = _T("[IMAGE:ROSE]");
const CString strTagImageDog = _T("[IMAGE:DOG]");
CString strText;
strText.Format(_T("Here are two rings %s a beautiful rose %s and a little cute dog %s"),
strTagImageRings, strTagImageRose, strTagImageDog);
m_staticDemo.SetText(strText);
// set inline images
m_staticDemo.SetInlineImage(strText.Find(strTagImageRings), strTagImageRings.GetLength(),
_T("PNG"), IDB_PNG_RINGS);
m_staticDemo.SetInlineImage(strText.Find(strTagImageRose), strTagImageRose.GetLength(),
_T("PNG"), IDB_PNG_ROSE);
m_staticDemo.SetInlineImage(strText.Find(strTagImageDog), strTagImageDog.GetLength(),
_T("PNG"), IDB_PNG_DOG);
}
