Hi,

In my application I create the menu in run-time (not loading from resources). I want my menu to be CXTPMenuBar. (SetMenu of CXTPCommandBars needs a resource ID...)

How can I do that ?

thanks, Yoav.

I dont think I understand what you mean. I created a CMenu object(not loaded from resources), and I need it to be attached to a CXTPMenuBar.

How do I create the CXTPMenuBar ? (it seems that the only way for me to create one is by CXTPCommandBars::SetMenu, which needs a resource ID...)

You also can use pMenuBar->LoadMenu.

I tried to create a CXTPMenuBar and attach it to a CMenu object, but it does not work (I think that some stuff is done in CXTPMenuBar::LoadMenuBar which I can not do).

Can you give me a sample code of creating a CXTPMenuBar, attaching it to a CMenu object, and setting it on the Frame window ?

Sorry, no need for a sample. I figure out how it is working.

Simple example of dynamic menu :

CXTPMenuBar* pMenuBar = GetCommandBars()->GetMenuBar();

pMenuBar->GetControls()->RemoveAll();

UINT nCmdID = 0x8000;

CMenu mainMenu;

mainMenu.CreateMenu();

CMenu fileMenu;

fileMenu.CreateMenu();

fileMenu.AppendMenu(MF_STRING, nCmdID++, "Open");

fileMenu.AppendMenu(MF_SEPARATOR, 0, "");

fileMenu.AppendMenu(MF_STRING, nCmdID++, "New");

mainMenu.AppendMenu(MF_POPUP, (UINT)fileMenu.GetSafeHmenu(), "File");

CMenu editMenu;

editMenu.CreateMenu();

editMenu.AppendMenu(MF_STRING, nCmdID++, "Cut");

editMenu.AppendMenu(MF_STRING, nCmdID++, "Paste");

mainMenu.AppendMenu(MF_POPUP,(UINT)editMenu.GetSafeHmenu(), "Edit");

pMenuBar->GetControls()->AddMenuItem(&mainMenu, 0);

pMenuBar->GetControls()->AddMenuItem(&mainMenu, 1);

If I have created a menu as stated by superppy then how can I add icons. I tried the following:

int nIDIcons[] = {nCmdID};

XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(bitmapID, (UINT*) &nIDIcons, sizeof(nIDIcons)/sizeof(nIDIcons[0]), CSize(16, 16));

But no icons are shown. Whats wrong?

thank you
tom

nIDIcons is an array of ids for controls in your menu.  It looks like you only have one id in your array.  You need an id for each icon in the bitmap resource.  Check that the id given to your menu controls match the ids in the nIDIcons array.

Thank you for your help, but that doesnt seem to be the problem:

if I take a nCmdID which belongs to the programs toolbar it wokrs perfectly. It just doesnt work with the cmdIds I generate during the creation of my contect menu. Do I somehow have to "tell" the XTPImageManger which cmdIds I create or something like that?
