CXTPToolBar in a _USRDLL

Hi,

I'm trying to have a CXTPToolBar in a docking command bar window created in a separate _USRDLL.

The creation of the toolbar works fine, and it finds the resources ok. But, the CmdUI routing is not working. I can manually force changes to the toolbar buttons by calling OnIdleUpdateCmdUI(NULL, NULL), but I'm sure that this is not the correct way. E.g. I can't get the tooltips to display, and when I click a toolbar button it stays pressed.

I also noticed that when calling a context popupmenu I need to make a command handler using ON_COMMAND in the messagemap even I specify the TPM_RETURNCMD flag, and have enables all items using the AppendMenu call?

Thanks,

1. I have looked at the dialog sample. I can see that the toolbar is created from the command bars (like we normal do in the mainframe). But in my case I have to use a CWnd class since this must be embedded as a docking pane. I use the same code as for the CPanePropertyGrid class e.g. in the DrawClient sample. In that sample the toolbar is created directly from the CXTPToolBar class. The only difference is that my class is placed inside a DLL.

2. This does the trick, thanks.

So you use CBRS_TOOLTIPS style for CreateToolBar method?

You can try CXTPCommandBarsSiteBase instead CXTPDialog

class CYourWindow : public CXTPCommandBarsSiteBase<CWnd>

Yes, in OnSize call RepositionBars, see Advanced sample:

void CHeroesView::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
 CWnd::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);

 RepositionBars(0, 0xffff, AFX_IDW_PANE_FIRST, reposDefault);
}
