A derived CXTPToolBar and customization

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

   How do you use a custom derived CXTPToolBar class and still keep toolbar customization?

Problem:

Getting an �An unsupported operation was attempted� error when the SaveCommandBars method is executed.

Demonstration:

To see the error, use the �Notifications� sample in ��\Samples\CommandBars\Notifications�.  Use a custom Toolbar:

1)  Create a new toolbar class

class CXTPToolBarEx : public CXTPToolBar  

{

public:

    DECLARE_DYNCREATE(CXTPToolBarEx)

    CXTPToolBarEx();

    virtual ~CXTPToolBarEx();

protected:

    //{{AFX_MSG(CXTPToolBarEx)

        // NOTE - the ClassWizard will add and remove member functions here.

        //    DO NOT EDIT what you see in these blocks of generated code !

    //}}AFX_MSG

    DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()

};

2)  Define it:

IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE(CXTPToolBarEx, CXTPToolBar)

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CXTPToolBarEx, CXTPToolBar)

    //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CXTPToolBarEx)

        // NOTE - the ClassWizard will add and remove mapping macros here.

        //    DO NOT EDIT what you see in these blocks of generated code!

    //}}AFX_MSG_MAP

END_MESSAGE_MAP()

CXTPToolBarEx::CXTPToolBarEx()

{

}

CXTPToolBarEx::~CXTPToolBarEx()

{

}

3.  Switch the Toolbars in CMainFrame::OnCreate(). 
Can do this in two different ways.  Both produce the same error:

A.  

CXTPToolBar* pToolBar = (CXTPToolBar*)

        pCommandBars->Add(_T("Standard"), xtpBarTop, RUNTIME_CLASS(CXTPToolBarEx));

    if (!pToolBar || !pToolBar->LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME))

    {

        TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");

        return -1;

    }

B.

pCommandBars->SetToolBarClass(RUNTIME_CLASS(CXTPToolBar Ex));

CXTPToolBar* pToolBar = (CXTPToolBar*)

        pCommandBars->Add(_T("Standard"), xtpBarTop);

    if (!pToolBar || !pToolBar->LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME))

    {

        TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");

        return -1;

    }

4.  Build and run it.  When you try to close the app, it will give you the error.

Please help.  I need to find a fix for this fairly soon.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!
