    Posted: 20 August 2007 at 3:46am
Hi Oleg,

I am creating four toolbars on my application.Previously we were using CreateEx method for creating those toolbars.

Presently I am using "Add" method for crating those Toolbars on Commandbar, but in one of the codejock examples I came across Create function for creating toolbars.

My question is:-

What is the most significant way for creating multiple toolbars?
Add on command bar or Create? Please justify.

Same question applies for adding controls on Toolbar,
e.g. Adding Combobox on Toolbar.

thanks in advance.

Hello,
 
Add method is always better. CreateToolbar can be used if you need create single toolbar without CommandBars/Docking/Customization to put it in some custom location.

Hi Oleg,

Thanks for your reply. Any other advantages by using "Add" method?
Is same rule applies while creating controls on Toolbars?

Hello,
If you need CommandBars and CommandBarsOptions, Load/Save, Customization and Docking you use Add, in other case use Create.
 
With Controls you can use any method. they all good. :)

Hi Oleg,

I have created one toolbar on Commandbar using function "Add"

I am adding one EditBox on that Toolbar using following method:

CXTPControlEdit m_EditBox;
EditBox = (CXTPControlEdit*)this->Add(xtpControlEdit, nID);

But I am getting Non Editable EditBox on the toolbar. Why it's happening so?

Thanks :)

Hi Oleg,

Solved above mentioned problem using

m_EditBox->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);

But how to trap Edit box update and Enter key pressed events? (Command Handlers?)

Previously I am using CEdit control so I could able to trap
::PreTranslateMessage(MSG *pMsg) and
ON_EN_CHANGE(ID_EDITBOX, OnChangeEdit)

What I need to do for trapping above mentioned messages?

Hello,
 
See Samples\CommandBars\CustomThemes\CustomThemesView.cpp  file.
 
You need ON_XTP_EXECUTE macro.

Hi Oleg,
With CXTPEditControl added on Toolbar, I am unable to handle PretranslateMessage. What is the work around for this problem?

Previously I am using create and now I am using Add.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Oleg,

I am getting crash  following call:-

>> CToolBarViewName is derived from CXTPToolBar

>> Also I added following lines in .h and .cpp file respectively.

DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CToolBarViewName) 
IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CToolBarViewName ,CXTPToolBar)

CToolBarViewName *m_wndToolBar;

Following Line of code CRASHING:

m_wndToolBar = (CToolBarViewName*)pCommandBars->Add(_T("View"), xtpBarTop, RUNTIME_CLASS(CToolBarViewName ));

2) I need to handle PreTranslateMessage of my Toolbar class CToolBarViewName.

Thanks in advance.

instead DECLARE_DYNAMIC, IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC use DECLARE_XTP_COMMANDBAR, IMPLEMENT_XTP_COMMANDBAR,
