I save my command bars, shortcuts, customize options, and docking panes to an XML file. This works for me:

void CMainFrame::ExchangeLayout(CXTPPropExchange* pPX, BOOL bSerializeControls /*= TRUE*/)
{
    XTP_COMMANDBARS_PROPEXCHANGE_PARAM param;
    param.bSerializeControls = bSerializeControls;
    param.bSerializeOptions = TRUE;

    CXTPPropExchangeSection pxCommandBars(pPX->GetSection(_T("CommandBars")));
    GetCommandBars()->DoPropExchange(&pxCommandBars, ¶m);

    CXTPPropExchangeSection secShortcuts(pPX->GetSection(_T("Shortcuts")));
    GetCommandBars()->GetShortcutManager()->DoPropExchange(&secShortcuts);

    CXTPPropExchangeSection pxDockingPane(pPX->GetSection(_T("DockingPane")));
    m_paneManager.DoPropExchange(&pxDockingPane);
}

In CMainFrame::OnCreate():

    CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode px(TRUE, 0, _T("Settings"));      // To serialize to XML file
    if (px.LoadFromFile(::g_XmlIniFile)) {
        CXTPPropExchangeSection pxNormalLayout(px.GetSection(_T("NormalLayout")));
        ExchangeLayout(&pxNormalLayout);
    }

in CMainFrame::OnClose():

    CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode px(FALSE, 0, _T("Settings"));      // To serialize to XML file
    if (px.OnBeforeExchange()) {
        CXTPPropExchangeSection pxNormalLayout(px.GetSection(_T("NormalLayout")));
        ExchangeLayout(&pxNormalLayout);
        px.SaveToFile(::g_XmlIniFile);
    }

Hope this helps.

Shortcut Keys.... : I added a CXTPCustomizeKeyboardPage...

I added a CXTPCustomizeKeyboardPage to my customize toolbars and it seems to work fine. The next step is to make the changes persistant, but this code doesn't seem to save anything:

GetCommandBars()->GetShortcutManager()->SaveShortcuts("Input Hotkeys");

which means that nothing happens when I call this in CMainFrame::OnCreate():

GetCommandBars()->GetShortcutManager()->LoadShortcuts("Input Hotkeys");

I couldn't find any samples containing SaveShortcuts, but I did notice that Load/SaveCommandBars() contains a call to matching shortcut functions, but my user-defined hotkeys remain non-persistent.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
