Hello,
Our application has several different kinds of child windows -- a graph, a spreadsheet, a text editor, etc. Can we use some kind of CommandBar to implement a shortcut menu for each window? How do we activate the menu (presumably from the WM_RBUTTONDOWN handler for the window)? Thanks for any advice or pointers to articles/samples/tutorials... |

Hello,
Most our samples show context menus. Please check them.

It looks like all the samples create the popup menu/commandbar at the time it is needed.
Two questions: -- What happens when this is done multiple times? Are duplicate items ignored? -- I would like to create my context menus at startup, then display them in the specific event handler. It's not clear how to find/retrieve the correct commandbar/popup object. For example, if I do something like this: ICommandBarPtr pPopup = 0; pPopup = g_spCommandBars->Add("MapperPopup", xtpBarPopup); pControls = pPopup->GetControls(); // add controls... If all that happens in the event handler for the right mouse click, this pPopup->ShowPopup(); works as expected. Thanks for any pointers... |

Hello,
Add("MapperPopup", xtpBarPopup) don't really add it to commandBars collection but just create it and return pointer. so it will be destroyed when your pPopup will be destroyed.
Better add it to ContextMenus collection.
