I solved this by doing something similar to the following:


CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = m_mainFrame->GetCommandBars();
int barCount = pCommandBars->GetCount();
int seed = 0;
for ( int i = 0; i < barCount; ++i )
{
  CXTPToolBar* pToolBar = pCommandBars->GetAt( seed );
  if ( pToolBar->GetType() == xtpBarTypeMenuBar )
    ++seed;
  else
    pCommandBars->Remove( pToolBar );
}
 pCommandBars->GetMenuBar()->GetControls()->RemoveAl l();

Rather than using SetMenu to swap the menu I used


pCommandBars->GetMenuBar()->LoadMenuBar( IDR_MENU );

Using Xtreme Toolkit Pro 9.51

I am working on an application that must change modes at runtime (meaning the menu and toolbars must be completely swapped). I first remove the current menu and toolbars using code similar to the following:


CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = m_mainFrame->GetCommandBars();
int barCount = pCommandBars->GetCount();
for ( int i = 0; i < barCount; ++i )
{
  pCommandBars->Remove( pCommandBars->GetAt( 0 ) );
}

This works all fine and well. However, when I go to set a new menu using CXTPCommandBars::SetMenu() I get a debug assertion on line 134 of XTPCommandBars.cpp where it checks to see of the CXTPMenuBar* is NULL. The program continues producing the desired results after the assertion.

My questions:
Is this is something that can be ignored since the error won't be produced in a Release build (although it will get annoying while debugging).
Is there way to do what I need to do that will not produce the assertion?
