Hi,
 
I know VFP is not actively supported but I find XTreeeeeeme CommandBars being a great product and I would really like to make use of it. I am comming from ActiveBar - so I have managed a LOT of problems already ;-)
 
So currently I am playing with Your Commandbars (tried DockingPanes this morning and had about the same problem) and try to show a form with VFP-Controls as a custom-Control. I found the "Dynamic Popup Sample" that does something like that.
 
so in the InitCommandsPopup i now have:
 
...
if CommandBar.Title = "FORM"
    CommandBar.Controls.DeleteAll
 
    do form MyForm.scx noShow
    m.MyForm.TitleBar    = 0
    m.MyForm.BorderStyle = 0
 
    loControl        = CommandBar.Controls.Add(7, 0, "Form")
    loControl.Handle = m.MyForm.hWnd
  
    m.MyForm.Visible = .T. 
 
endif
 
 
Works wonderful, but the form is dead, i.e. I can't make use of the controls. With the DockingPane it sometimes worked, sometimes not
 
Maybe You have an Idea or a trick.
 
Another Idea I used with ActiveBar was to cancel the actual population of the popup and position a form instead of a popup. But I found no way to cancel the appearance from within InitCommandsPopup()
(ActiveBar did have a BandOpen()-Event that was fired when clicking on the down-button. this event also provided a Cancel-parameter.
 
Thanks in advance
 
Regards from Berlin
 
F.
