ribbon group withmutually exclusive buttons?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We are developing an application with a ribbon and have multiple control buttons in a group and would like the behavior of the buttons in this group to be mutually exclusive.
So, we are trying to create a scenario where:
 One button will always be checked
 Clicking on one button unchecks the currently checked button and checks the button just clicked
 And therefore, no two buttons can be checked at the same time

Here is how we create the group:
 CXTPRibbonGroup* pDirectoriesGroup = pTabMain->AddGroup(ID_GROUP_DIRECTORIES);
 pDirectoriesGroup->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_Directories_C_DRIVE);
 pDirectoriesGroup->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_Directories_D_DRIVE);
 pDirectoriesGroup->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_Directories_E_DRIVE);
We also have message handlers to initiate actions on button push and to check/uncheck each button individually (as in ribbonsample):
 ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI_RANGE(ID_Directories_C_DRIVE, ID_Directories_E_DRIVE, OnUpdateDirectories) 
 ON_COMMAND_RANGE(ID_Directories_D_DRIVE, ID_Directories_E_DRIVE,OnDirectories)
Any thoughts on the code we can replace ours with to create the behavior above?
Thanks

	Hello, Something like this: ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI_RANGE(ID_Directories_C_DRIVE, ID_Directories_E_DRIVE, OnUpdateDirectories) ON_COMMAND_RANGE(ID_Directories_D_DRIVE, ID_Directories_E_DRIVE,OnDirectories) CMainFrame::CMainFrame() { m_nDirectory = ID_Directories_C_DRIVE; } void CMainFrame::OnDirectories(UINT nID) { m_nDirectory = nID; } void CMDIChildWndEx::OnUpdateDirectories(CCmdUI* pCmdUI) { pCmdUI->SetCheck(pCmdUI->m_nID == m_nDirectory ? 1 : 0); }
	Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS
