SuperMario has written:

When you click on an arrow of a popup like the splitbutton popup or the combobox the InitCommandsPopup event is fired.  The Execute event is fired only when you click on the button part of the splitbutton popup or one of the controls displayed in the dropdown.  You would then add the required controls to be displayed in the dropdown.  Look at the Dynamic Popups sample to see how to use this event.

I want to have the same behavior if the user presses the button part or if he press the arrow of the splitbutton. I have catched the execution event (with ON_XTP_EXECUTE macro) when the user pressed the button part. Now i want to popup the menu, but how? i have expiremented with:

pControl->GetCommandPar()->Popup(); // this has problems when the user press a second time to the button (the popup menu does not close)

and

pControl->OnSetPopup(TRUE); // but this function is protected

please help?
