My code fills the commands page even if you have dynamic menus, hope it will help. It could be a good idea to make a recursive version of my code if you need also need the submenus included in the list.

void CMainFrame::OnCustomize()
{
    // get a pointer to the command bars object.
    CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
    if (pCommandBars == NULL)
        return;

// instanciate the customize dialog
CXTPCustomizeSheet dlg(pCommandBars);

    // add the options page to the customize dialog.
    CXTPCustomizeOptionsPage pageOptions(&dlg);
    dlg.AddPage(&pageOptions);

    // add the commands page to the customize dialog.
    CXTPCustomizeCommandsPage* pCommands = dlg.GetCommandsPage();

    // fill the page with menu controls
    CXTPControls* pMenuControls = GetCommandBars()->GetMenuBar()->GetControls();
    for(int i = 0; i < pMenuControls->GetCount(); i++)
    {
        CXTPControlPopup* pMenubarControl = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPControlPopup, pMenuControls->GetAt(i));

        if(pMenubarControl)
        {
           CString caption = pMenubarControl->GetCaption();
           caption.Replace("&", "");

CXTPControls* pPageControls = pCommands->InsertCategory(caption);
CXTPControls* pSourceControls = pMenubarControl->GetCommandBar()->GetControls();

           for(int j = 0; j < pSourceControls->GetCount(); j++)
           {
                 CXTPControl* tmp = pSourceControls->GetAt(j);
                 if(!(tmp->GetFlags() & xtpFlagNoMovable))
                     pPageControls->AddClone(tmp);
           }
        }
    }

pCommands->InsertAllCommandsCategory();

// display the customize dialog.
dlg.DoModal();
}

I still do not understand how do I get the commands of each category ?

This is my code for displaying the categories:

void CMainFrame::OnCustomize()
{
CXTPCustomizeSheet cs(GetCommandBars());
CXTPCustomizeOptionsPage pageOptions(&cs);
cs.AddPage(&pageOptions);

CXTPCustomizeCommandsPage* pCommands = cs.GetCommandsPage();
CXTPMenuBar* pMenuBar = GetCommandBars()->GetMenuBar();

CXTPControls* pMenuControls = pMenuBar->GetControls();
int aCount = pMenuControls->GetCount();
for (int i = 0 ; i < aCount ; ++i)
{
  CXTPControl* pMenubarControl = pMenuControls->GetAt(i);
  CString aCaption = pMenubarControl->GetCaption();
  CXTPControls* pPageControls = pCommands->InsertCategory(aCaption);
...

what do I need do add inorder that the commands of each category will be displayed ?

Hi,

In my application I creates my menu dynamically and attach it to a CXTPMenuBar object. I want to see this menu in the customize dialog. How can I do that ? (I saw only an option to show a menu that is created by resources).

thanks, Yoav.
