This article is solved. I already get a response from codejock guys.
I had got it wrong.

You should rely on correct pointer values returned from Add only immediately after a call to Add in order to change control's properties, in all other cases you can always find a conrol's pointer by control's ID. As for the custom controls, they have to be built taking into account this behavior.

Although I am not happy about this
In my opinion, it should be irrelevant for programmer where codejock displays the control (directly in ribbon bar or in a popup for any reason)

Thanks for response

How did you thought to works??

Try this!

Add controls to ribbon bar and save this pointer (result of Add)
Run app and resize application frame to minimum width
Now, the single controls should be groupped by parent button
click this button to popup/see your controls
Click on some button

If you now using your saved pointer, you see that this points to a freed memory block.

The reason is, that you frees the original controls!


                // we need to copy the popped ribbon group to the existing (in order not to lose user's changes)

                CXTPRibbonGroupPopupToolBar *pPopupToolbar = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonGroupPopupToolBar, m_pCommandBar);

                if (pPopupToolbar && pPopupToolbar->m_pRibbonGroup)
                {
                    m_pPopupGroup->RemoveAll();
                    m_pPopupGroup->Copy(pPopupToolbar->m_pRibbonGroup);
                }

I think, this problem is not implement correctly. Controls should force to move, not copy/duplicate, in other popups. It should be transparent where they should be displayed. It's the same control (e.g. button)!
