I am waiting for the release of the Xtreme Toolkit Pro and bought the XTreme Suite because of the Office 2003 Command Bar. I am also owning the regular XTreme Toolkit.

How can I use the Xtreme Toolkit and the Xtreme Suite libraries together so I can use the Commandbars in my existing projects?

I have managed to convert most of my previous Toolkit based app to use the new docking bars and command bars in the Suite. I used the example visual Studio 7 program which came with the Suite as a reference. It has taken me several days of trial and error to get it working, but they can co-exist.

It is fairly straight forward to use the new command bars as shown in the example program. The docking windows were a little more tricky, and took more time. Is there anything in particular you are having trouble with?

Things which I haven't managed to get working yet are the custom accelerators, dynamic menus (handling the OnInitMenuPopup), and handling combo boxes (when selection changes) in the toolbars.

What exactly do you get in the new Suite or Pro version that isn't in the old Toolkit?

It's mainly just the new docking windows and command bars (it also has the property grid, but exisiting customers get that with the toolkit). For our application we wanted the new docking windows because many of our users are on laptops with a resolution of 1024x768, so desktop space is at a premium, and the docking windows which can scroll off to the side is very useful (as in Visual Studio.NET IDE).

The new docking windows are easier to implement than in the toolkit version, as there are less additional window classes you need to write. You just create a control and add as a docking window.

There are however one thing I have not been able to migrate, which is the Accelerator Manager. Don't know if that will be added to the Suite/Pro version.
