Popups within Popups - How?

I've successfully displayed a popup menu.  The code is below

pObjPopupBar = CXTPPopupBar::CreatePopupBar(0);

CXTPControl* pControl = pObjPopupBar->GetControls()->Add(xtpControlButton, objMapIter->first);

pControl->SetCaption(strMenuCaption);

pControl->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);

UINT uintIconId = (objChildTypeIter->second).m_uintIconID;

pControl->SetIconId(uintIconId);

I then call the TrackPopupMenu.

But how do you display a popup within a popup?

Thanks

Thanks for responding but I'm a little confused.  Wouldn't I need a another parent popup object to place the child popup into?  Also, I'm a little confused about the id as well.  I'm not creating any of the menus from resources - they are all created on the fly?  Is the id the first control in the child popup bar?

To be clear - I have my pObjPopupBar populated with a list of controls.  I then want to place this popup inside  another popup so that it has the following structure:  The Add menu item in the parent displays all the menu items of pObjPopuBar.  The parent popupbar will also have some non-nested menu items as well.  What's throwing me off is the id in the Add method when added to the parent.  What does this represent?  I mean, it does popup another blank menu but it needs to popup the child - how is this connection made?

I was thinking something like this - except I don't know what to put in for the id value:

CXTPControlPopup* pControlPopup = (CXTPControlPopup)pObjParentPopupBar->GetControls()->A dd(xtp ControlPopup, ?????);

 

 

I'm sorry but I dont' understand this code.  All I'm trying to do is

place one CXTPPopupBar within another.  That Add api clearly doesn't provide for this so I'm confused with the code snippet you gave me.

Can you please provide an explanation of what should be placed in objMapiter->first when you don't have a resource id to use.

CXTPControlPopup* pControlPopup = (CXTPControlPopup)pObjPopupBar->GetControls()->Add(xtp ControlPopup, objMapIter->first);

Perhaps it because I'm new to the product but I'm not understanding how to do this.

I think there is a miscommunication here.  I already figured out how to create the sub menu by using the xtpControlPopup constant as the first argument.  This returns a CXTPControl type so that you can modify the caption and other things.  The problem is populating the sub menu.  Here's my code snippet:

map< int, CString >::const_iterator objMapIter = objDocTypeMap.begin();

int i=0;

for( objMapIter; objMapIter != objDocTypeMap.end(); objMapIter++ )

{

CString strMenuCaption = "";

objChildTypeIter = objDocumentTypeDetails.find(objMapIter->second);

if ( objChildTypeIter != objDocumentTypeDetails.end() )

{

strMenuCaption = (objChildTypeIter->second).m_strCaption;

}

else

{

strMenuCaption = objMapIter->second;

}

// the document type map.

UINT uintIconId = (objChildTypeIter->second).m_uintIconID;

CXTPControlPopup* pControl = (CXTPControlPopup*)pObjPopupBar->GetControls()->Add(xt pControlButton, objMapIter->first);

pControl->SetID(objMapIter->first);

pControl->SetCaption(strMenuCaption);

pControl->SetIconId(uintIconId);

}

This creates the inner sub menu.  Then I do this to try and set a parent popup bar items:

CXTPControlPopup* pPopupControl = (CXTPControlPopup*)pObjParentPopupBar->GetControls()->Add(xtpControlPopup,-1);

pPopupControl->SetCaption(objResourceProvider.GetStringRe source(IDS_SKSD_ADD));

But how do I get my first menu inside the parent menu.  I tried doing this:

CXTPControl* aControl = pPopupcontrol->GetControls()->Add(xtpControlButton, 8900);

However, this just menu item is created at the same level as the xtpControlPopup type listed  above.

This is quite simple to do with CMenu but it's becoming difficult with CodeJock.

try:

pPopupcontrol->GetCommandBar()->GetControls()->Add

Hi,

I have the same requirement (completely dynamic menu with submenus).

However I find the above examples very hard to follow.

Is there a simple example somewhere which shows how to create a menu and within it a submenu.

Thanks,

Bruce.
