    Posted: 19 September 2007 at 8:25am
Hi,
 
For enabling/disabling menu item I am using below code:
 
CXTPPopupBar* pCommandBar;

int nCount = pCommandBar->GetControls()->GetCount();
int i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < nCount; i++)
{
    CXTPControl* pCommandBarNew =  pCommandBar->GetControl(i);
          
    if (pCommandBarNew->GetID() == ID_WINDOW_MORE)
    {
        pCommandBarNew->SetEnabled(FALSE);
        pCommandBarNew->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);
    }
}

In this case every time searching for menu id in "for" loop.
 
Is there any other way to get the menu id directly(without using "for" loop) for enable/disable the menu item.
 
Thanks,
KumarCJ.

Hello,

Why you so don't like update handlers??? Please check how our sample Enable/Disable commands.
 
Don't use this loops, use Update handlers.

Hi,

Use FindControl instead of your own 'for loop'.

Hello,
 
FindControl and all these loops are very bad designed solutions. User can remove control, can copy to another toolbar, can move it etc. FindControl can failed or don't update copied controls.
 
Use Actions or Update handlers.

Pariksh*t, update-handlers rocks. If you mean dynamic menus as in "I don't know how many items I will add here", then you need a command-range and an UPDATE_UI_COMMAND_RANGE-handler. A common sample is to add all IE-favorites to a menu. The trick is to say "there will be at most 1000 items":
 
#define ID_FIRST_ITEM 20000
#define ID_LAST_ITEM (ID_FIRST_ITEM + 999)
 
UPDATE_UI_COMMAND_RANGE(ID_FIRST_ITEM, ID_LAST_ITEM, OnItem)
 
... not sure if this is what you were asking. But at least I got the opportunity to code a bit :)

How do you assign ids? Random numbers?

As long as you have a starting point and a max, use the range functions.
