CXTPContolEdit update problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi, I have a CXTPControlEdit control in my toolbar which is created in my OnCreateControl() handler.  I originally set the 'xtpManualUpdate' flag for this control so that the update handler was never called, which worked as expected.  Later I decided that I did need the update handler to be called and removed this flag but the handler still was not called.  After scratching my head over this for quite a while I finally deleted the registry entires where this toolbar's settings were being saved and loaded from and this cured the problem! 
Surely a setting like this, which the user can't change, should not be serialized to the registry when saving/restoring the toolbar state?  This is a purely programming issue and I should not have to make my users delete all their registry settings for the program just to make new changes work!   Can you please tell me how to fix this problem? Thanks.

	Right, sorry we missed this parameter in Compare method. in CXTPControl::Compare will be added if (GetFlags() != pOther->GetFlags()) return FALSE; Now I suggest you to change registry setting entry key: SaveCommandBars(_T("CommandBars-ver2"); LoadCommandBars(_T("CommandBars-ver2");
