XTP 13.0.0.

I have a ribbon control which I want to handle in CMainFrame:

void CMainFrame::OnMyControl() { ... }

However, I want another window to be responsible for the state of this control:

void CMyWindow::OnUpdateMyControl(CCmdUI *pCmdUI) { ... pCmdUI->Enable(condition); }

The problem is that "Enable(FALSE)" inside my update-handler has no effect. The control remains enabled due to the message-map entry in CMainFrame. I tried the xtpFlagManualUpdate flag, but no success.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

So what you do to route cmd messages to this CMyWindow?

Don't set xtpFlagManualUpdate flag - it stop all update notifications for control.

BOOL CMainFrame::OnCmdMsg(...)

{

if (ActivePane == MyWindow && MyWindow.OnCmdMsg(...)) // The update-handler lives here!

return TRUE;

return CXTPFrameWnd::OnCmdMsg(...); // The command-handler lives in this class!

}

Reading through the docs it seems MFC auto-enables the control if an update-handler is not found (which will be the case if I'm deactivating the pane).

Is there a solution to this problem?

Hi,

If you have handler it have to be executed anyway. Try to set breakpoint in CXTPControl::NotifySite in pSite->OnCmdMsg line and check if your window receives it.

Myabe just MyWindow != ActivePane ? :)
