I have a CDialog and I attached a toolbar and a menu to the Dialog. Both show up and everything looks good but nothing gets highlighted when I mouse over an item. In regards to the menu, when I click the menu, items do pop up and do respond to mouse clicks. In regards to the toolbar, tooltips do work when I mouse over an item and the toolbar does respond when I click on an item BUT the toolbar item remains highlighted from that point forward? I compared my code to that of the DialogSample and I can't see any difference. Any ideas? This is happening on ALL of my dialogs that contain a menu and/or toolbar. Mainframe works fine though. Problem is just on dialogs.

Also my dialog is resizable and even though both the toolbar and the menu have the flag xtpFlagStretched set they do not draw to the end when I resize the dialog. At first the dialog looks good but if you resize the dialog to anything larger then the created size, you can see the bk color of the dialog.

Ok. I figured out the OnKickIdle part that I seemed to have forgotten which fixed the highlighting issue on some of the dialogs but on others they are still messed up. The resizing issue is still there.

For solving the sizing issue, overload the OnSize event. Something like this should work:

void CMyDlg::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy) {

CDialog::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);

RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST, 0);

}
