ps.
After line
    pMyCtrl->SetCommandBar(pBar);
you also need release pBar:
pBar->InternalRelease();
to avoid leak.

Hi,
 
Replace
CXTPPopupToolBar* pBar = CXTPPopupToolBar::CreatePopupToolBar(pMenuBar->GetCommandBars());
to
CXTPPopupBar* pBar = CXTPPopupBar::CreatePopupBar(pMenuBar->GetCommandBars());

Hi,

I would appriciate some help!

all I want to do is build a menu on the fly...

this is what I do so far:

VoidT CreateMenuBar(HWND wnd, HMENU hMenu) {

    CMenu* pMenu = CMenu::FromHandle(hMenu);
    CXTPCommandBar* pMenuBar = pFrame->GetCommandBars()->GetMenuBar();
    pMenuBar->LoadMenu(pMenu);

    CXTPMyControlPopup* pMyCtrl = CXTPMyControlPopup::CreateMyControlPopup(xtpControlPopup);
    pMyCtrl->SetCaption((LPCTSTR)"MyCtrl");
    pMenuBar->GetControls()->Add(pMyCtrl);

    CXTPPopupToolBar* pBar = CXTPPopupToolBar::CreatePopupToolBar(pMenuBar->GetCommandBars());
    pMyCtrl->SetCommandBar(pBar);
    ...
}

that works fine so far and I get a very nice additional button in the main menu bar of the app.
but now I want to add menu entries...
at the moment I am doing that in the "OnCalcDynamicSize()" Function of "CXTPMyControlPopup::CXTPControlPopup" :

...
        CXTPControlButton *pControl = (CXTPControlButton*)GetCommandBar()->GetControls()->Add(xtpControlButton, MY_ID, "MyMenuEntry");
        pControl->SetCaption("MyMenuEntry");
        pControl->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);
        pControl->SetEnabled(true);
...

this way I get a lot of nice buttons, but unfortunatly they dont look like menus at all.
What do I need to do to generate menus that look like menus this way?

Thanx for your help.
Cheers Bjoern
