Right. by default SaveStateToXMLString don't save controls state.

 

Create Options and set SerializeControls  property:

 

    Dim op As StateOptions
    Set op = CommandBars.CreateStateOptions
    op.SaveOriginalControls = True
    op.SerializeControls = True

as i mentioned the Button State was not set ....

 

 

i want to save the state from each users. and Load that state...

 

 

 

 

'Load the State of CommandBar

Public Sub CommandBar_LoadState(ByVal argIDNumber As String, ByVal argEXEName As String)
   
On Error Resume Next

    Dim FreeF As Integer, sFile As String, sLayout As String
   
    strsql = "          SELECT String From DockingpaneState "
    strsql = strsql & "  WHERE UserID  = '" & Trim$(argIDNumber) & "' "
    strsql = strsql & "    AND EXEName = '" & UCase(argEXEName) & "' "
   
    If Not OpenADO1(strsql) Then Exit Sub
   
    sFile = "c:\" & Trim$(argIDNumber) & ".txt"
    FreeF = FreeFile
    Kill sFile
    Open sFile For Binary As #FreeF
    Put #FreeF, , Trim$(AdoRs1("String"))
    Close #FreeF
   
    AdoRs1.Close
   
    sLayout = Space(FileLen(sFile))
    Open sFile For Binary As #FreeF
    Get #FreeF, , sLayout
    Close #FreeF
    On Error GoTo 0
    CommandBars.LoadStateFromXMLString CommandBars.name, sLayout  ' sLayout, "a"
    Kill sFile
 
End Sub

 

 

 

'Save the State of CommandBar
Public Sub DockingPane_SaveState(ByVal argIDNumber As String, ByVal argEXEName As String)
Dim nCnt As Integer
   
    strsql = "SELECT count(*) as cnt From DockingpaneState "
    strsql = strsql & "  WHERE UserID  = '" & Trim$(argIDNumber) & "' "
    strsql = strsql & "    AND EXEName = '" & UCase(argEXEName) & "' "
   
    Call OpenADO1(strsql)
   
    nCnt = AdoRs1("Cnt")
    AdoRs1.Close
   
    If nCnt = 0 Then
        strsql = "Insert into DockingpaneState values ( "
        strsql = strsql & " '" & Trim$(UserID.IDNumber) & "', "
        strsql = strsql & " '" & UCase(argEXEName) & "', "
        'strsql = strsql & " '" & Trim$(NurseMDI.DockingPaneManager.SaveStateToString) & "') "
        strsql = strsql & " '" & Trim$(NurseMDI.CommandBars.SaveStateToXMLString(NurseMDI.CommandBars.name)) & "' "
    Else
        strsql = "          UPDATE DockingpaneState "
        'strsql = strsql & "    Set string  = '" & Trim$(NurseMDI.DockingPaneManager.SaveStateToString) & "' "
        'strsql = strsql & "    Set string  = '" & Trim$(NurseMDI.CommandBars.SaveStateToString(True, True)) & "' "
    strsql = strsql & "    Set string  = '" & Trim$(NurseMDI.CommandBars.SaveStateToXMLString(NurseMDI.CommandBars.name)) & "' "
        strsql = strsql & "  WHERE UserID = '" & Trim$(argIDNumber) & "' "
        strsql = strsql & "    AND EXEName = '" & UCase(argEXEName) & "' "
    End If
   
    AdoCn.BeginTrans
    If ExecADO(strsql) Then
        AdoCn.CommitTrans
    Else
        AdoCn.RollbackTrans
    End If
   
End Sub

 

 

 

 

 

[this is get from saved file]

      <BarInfo1 BarId="1694431857" Floating="1" MRUWidth="32767" PointPos="529, 238"
              MRUDockPos="545, 18, 1113, 44" MRUFloatPos="529, 238"/>
    </DockState>
    <DockBars>
      <DockBar0 Count="3" Id1="1"/>
    </DockBars>
  </Layout>
</CommandBars>

 

 

Check that you give same string to LoadStateFromXMLString that you get from Save. Maybe you save it wrong.
