Clicking a XTPToolbar button

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

   We're working on a integration between a foreground application we wrote, and a background application written by a 3rd party, using the XTPToolbar controls. We need to be able to read the status of buttons in a band on the toolbar, and be able to click the same buttons. We're referencing only one band in the application, and 3 buttons.

Previos versions of the application we're integrating against used standard common control toolbars, so we're currently using a loop with a TB_BUTTONCOUNT message to get the button count, iterating over the buttons using a TB_GETBUTTON message for each button, then saving the handles of the 3 buttons we need to be able to send TB_GETSTATE messages to get their up/down state, and WM_COMMAND messages to click the buttons. Since the TM_BUTTONCOUNT message always returns zero when we send the message to the XTPToolbar bands, we don't have a way to get to the buttons.

Thoughts? Anything will help me greatly.

Thank you!

Keith
