Hi Oleg. NoteDashboardWidget is my CXTPCommandBarsSiteBase derived class that I use as the anchor for the command bars. Inside that I have the CRichEdit control. When I select or right click on the CRichEdit, I call TrackMiniBar. The code where the asserts are happening is this:


     ASSERT(HWND_TOP == NULL);       // same as desktop

     if (m_hWnd == HWND_BOTTOM)

          ASSERT(this == &CWnd::wndBottom);

     else if (m_hWnd == HWND_TOPMOST)

          ASSERT(this == &CWnd::wndTopMost);

     else if (m_hWnd == HWND_NOTOPMOST)

          ASSERT(this == &CWnd::wndNoTopMost);

     else

     {

          // should be a normal window

          ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd));

And this line

ASSERT(this == &CWnd::wndNoTopMost);

seems to be where the assert happens but my IDE isn't being too helpful and placing the breakpoint inbetween that line and the next one (ISWindow) call. I've tried copying that code into my own area before calling TrackMiniBar and nothing is asserted. So I'm obviously missing something and assume I'm not setting things up correctly for the mini toolbar.
What is the normal procedure for setting up and using a minitoolbar? Are there any restrictions or requirements?

I should add that the code for the NoteDashboardWidget is in an external DLL to the main application.

Thanks.

Hi,

trace shows something wrong with NoteDashboardWidget. Is it custom control on toolbar ?

Hi all. New to the Toolkit and struggling a bit with a MinitToolbar problem.

I have a CXTPCommandBarsSiteBase derived class and I use the CommandBars from this to host my CXTPMiniToolbar. Inside my derived class I have a CRichEdit and I pop up the MiniToolbar when the user right clicks.

Unfortunately when I call TrackMiniBar, the application ASSERTS in wincore.cpp, line 883 while checking the window handle of the parent window. Here is the callstack.

KERNEL32! 7c817077()

I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. The minitoolbar appears OK, with the controls enabled/initialised OK, but something's going screwy somewhere.

Is this a threading issue at all, or some other thing I need to be aware of with mini toolbars? I am using the toolbar class I have elsewhere and it's working fine when it's the RichEdit is inside a CXTPFrameWnd.

Any help appreciated.
