Hi, We have to show/hide/remove/add command bar controls/menu items at load time. Currently we are using the .rc file to modify and compile the app everytime we need to just hide/remove menuitem from the app. Is XT provides us the option to load CommandBars from XML file with Visibility option ? So that we can just modify the XML and ship the app rather than recompile it. Thanks ------------- Xtreme ToolkitPro 12.1.1 Win XP (32bit) - SP2 Visual C++ 6.0 SP 6 |

Hi, CommandBars Designer provides option to export to XML file. But i dont know how to load the XML file (not the binary XCB file) at app load time. Thanks ------------- Xtreme ToolkitPro 12.1.1 Win XP (32bit) - SP2 Visual C++ 6.0 SP 6 |

Hi, I tried this code in the Designer Sample. But it didnt worked ? The XML file i used is just the export of Sample.xcb using CommandBarDesigner. void CMainFrame::GenerateCommandBars() { CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars(); pCommandBars->SetMenu(_T("Menu Bar"), 0); CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode px(TRUE, 0, _T("DesignerFile")); if (px.LoadFromFile("F:\\Program Files\\Codejock Software\\MFC\\Xtreme ToolkitPro v12.1.1\\AllSamples\\DesignerSamples\\Sample.xml")) { pCommandBars->LoadDesignerBars(&px); } } Thanks ------------- Xtreme ToolkitPro 12.1.1 Win XP (32bit) - SP2 Visual C++ 6.0 SP 6 |

Hi,
Actually its right code - you only need initialize OLE in beginning of CDesignerSampleApp::InitInstance()
add this line:
AfxOleInit(); ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Hi, Guess best way is to hide them in code using Actions. Enable actions in Designer and in code add
pCommandBars->GetActions()->GetAction(ControlID)->SetVisible(FALSE); - and it will hide all occurence of controls with Id = ControlID
Also in CommanBars run Menu->CommandBars->Resource Symbols ->Export ->(*.h) to export all controls names you have. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Hi, 1) I still dont get the Actions features usefulness can you share an example situation where Actions is more appropriate than the old command ui update of MFC. 2)I have checked out the Action Sample and set the visible of "Status Bar" to FALSE using the checkbox. But the Commands page in the customization dialog still shows the "Status Bar" in it. Is that right behaviour ? ------------- Xtreme ToolkitPro 12.1.1 Win XP (32bit) - SP2 Visual C++ 6.0 SP 6 |
