Thanks for your time Mike.

 

Below, is the solution that I had cooked up before Oleg showed me the simpler solution. This is a standard technique I've used before to access protected members. And you are right: The Codejock code is great but the docs really could use some improvement for showing a developer how to implement it.

--------------------

 

#include "C:\Program Files\Codejock Software\MFC\Xtreme ToolkitPro v10.3.1\Source\CommandBars\XTPCommandBar.h"

 

class CXTPCommandBarSpoof : public CXTPCommandBar 
{
public:
  CXTPCommandBarSpoof( CXTPCommandBar* pOldCommandBar );
  virtual ~CXTPCommandBarSpoof();

public:
  UINT GetDocTemplate();
};

 

// use Copy constructor to load class info

CXTPCommandBarSpoof::CXTPCommandBarSpoof( CXTPCommandBar* pOldCommandBar )
{
  Copy( pOldCommandBar );
}
CXTPCommandBarSpoof::~CXTPCommandBarSpoof() {}

 

// return the protected data as public

UINT CXTPCommandBarSpoof::GetDocTemplate() { return GetActiveDocTemplate(); }

 

// implement spoof class in CMainFrame popup handler

void CMainFrame::OnInitCommandsPopup(CXTPPopupBar* pCommandBar)
{
  if ( ! sPopup.CompareNoCase(_T("PopupName")) ) // caption of popup menu to change
  {
    CXTPControls* pCommandList = pCommandBar->GetControls();
    if ( pCommandList )
    {
      CXTPCommandBarSpoof CB( pCommandBar ); // spoof class to get the DocTemplate

      switch( CB.GetDocTemplate() )
      {
      case IDR_MYDOC_TYPE: // ID of document template that owns popup
        // change menu items here
        break;
      }
    }
  }
}

 

Hello,

I'd love to know how you added a menu item - no matter how inappropriate.  CodeJock's docs are rather useless, and the Admin's comments above are unhelpful and unprofessional.......and we're paying a licence fee!!???

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

 

Of course, the first place I looked for the answer was in the Notifications example. It does not show how to ADD a menu item. It shows how to remove and rename menu items. I wasnt to add *new* items with name and message ID to be determined.

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

 

See Notfications sample and CXTPControls methods.

 

I've looked in the source and samples and I just cannot find an example or docs on this anywhere.
