Popup Menu Items Greyed / Disabled

use TPM_NONOTIFY flag.

Hi,

I experience the same problem, even after setting TPM_NO_NOTIFY.  My code is as follows:

     ......

     // get a pointer to the application window.
    CXTPMDIFrameWnd* pMainWnd = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPMDIFrameWnd, AfxGetMainWnd());

    // get a pointer to the CXTPCommandBars object.
    CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = pMainWnd->GetCommandBars();

    UINT nReturn = CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu( &popupMenu, TPM_NONOTIFY | TPM_RECURSE | TPM_RETURNCMD, ptCursor.x, ptCursor.y, pMainWnd, 0, 0, pCommandBars );


The CMenu has been created completely dynamically with the entries having the appropriate MF_GRAYED flag.  It works if I use the standard TrackPopupMenu, but not with CXTPCommandBars.

I am using a recently downloaded evaluation version.

Am I doing something wrong?

All help appreciated.

Thanks,

Bruce.

Hi,

Looking at the various examples and the online help, I tried a different approach, as follows (sample)

void
CMDISampleView::OnRButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{

    CMenu menu;
    menu.CreatePopupMenu();
    menu.AppendMenu( MF_GRAYED, 1, "Entry" );
    menu.AppendMenu( MF_SEPARATOR );
    menu.AppendMenu( MF_GRAYED, 1, "Entry" );

    CMenu submenu;
    submenu.CreatePopupMenu();
    submenu.AppendMenu( MF_GRAYED, 1, "Entry" );
    submenu.AppendMenu( MF_SEPARATOR );
    submenu.AppendMenu( MF_ENABLED | MF_CHECKED, 1, "Entry" );
    menu.AppendMenu( MF_STRING | MF_POPUP | MF_ENABLED,
                      (UINT)submenu.m_hMenu,
                      "Sub1" );

    CXTPPopupBar* pPopupBar = CXTPPopupBar::CreatePopupBar(0);

    pPopupBar->LoadMenu( &menu );

    POINT ptCursor;
    CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();
    ::GetCursorPos(&ptCursor);

    UINT nReturn = CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu( pPopupBar, TPM_NONOTIFY| TPM_RETURNCMD, ptCursor.x, ptCursor.y, AfxGetMainWnd() );
}


This works fine in my small sample example.  However when I do the same in my main application (loading my CMenu the same way) it does not work.  They grayed items are not shown.

Is there some condition / size limit / other flags / etc.  I am missing.

Thanks,

Bruce.

Hi,

I understand that, however it DOES work in my small example above, but not in "real life".

Is it possible to get icons to the labels where the icons are not in a resource file, and thus don't have an Id?

Thanks,

Bruce.

Hi,

Will reproduce it in a small example project and load that up.

Thanks,

Bruce.

Re Icon, since there are no Ids I think I will have to use SetCustomIcon.
