Thanks Oleg.

I had to change the approach a bit anyway, because when you have more than one minitoolbar, their PumpMessage loops bring all sorts of new trouble.

I now have just one minitoolbar with all the possible controls, and, depending on what it needs to do, I switch controls on and off by calling their SetVisible method.

It's still tricky enough, as I call the 'TrackMiniBar' method in my 'OnMouseMove' handler in the AppView. As each call to TrackMiniBar initiates its own PumpMessage loop, which starts to handle ON_WM_MOUSEMOVE messages, I should be very careful not to call TrackMiniBar again in the 'OnMouseMove' handler, as it would cause an infinite recursion.

Anyway, I still needed a way to make the minitoolbar invisible, and your tip seems to work fine so far.

David.

Hi,
 
try m_bTracking = FALSE; + manually hide it with ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);

Hello there!

In my application I use different minitoolbars that should appear depending on what is underneath the mouse.
I'm looking for a way to deactivate the old minitoolbar once the mouse hovers a new screen object. There should always be at most one visible minitoolbar.

For the minitoolbar that should disappear I've tried to set: 
m_bActivated = FALSE;
m_bTracking = FALSE;

but this keeps it visible.

Is there a way to instantly switch it off and make sure it does not come back until I call "TrackMiniBar" again?

David.
