Customization questions

Hello,

Is there a white paper or tutorial that discusses runtime user Customization of toolbars and menus?

In C++, I am doing this:
   pCommandBars->EnableCustomization(VARIANT_TRUE);

    pControl = pControls->Add(xtpControlButton, M_FILE_NEW, "");
    pControl->PutDescriptionText(_bstr_t("Create a new document"));
    pDesignerControls->AddControl(pControl);

When I click on the arrow to open the Customization dialog,
I see this:


Why are the command items greyed out?

And the Customize dialog -- how do I populate it:


Thanks for any advice...

Thanks for the reply. 

The items in the Add/Remove dialog are now active.
However, there are no commands in the Customize/Actions tab.

When I create the toolbars, I add the controls to the DesignerControls collection:
    pControl = pControls->Add(xtpControlButton, M_FILE_NEW, "");
    pControl->PutDescriptionText(_bstr_t("Create a new document"));
    pDesignerControls->AddControl(pControl);

Or does the DesignerControls collection have to get populated in the Customization event handler?

I thought I was filling in the DesignerControls collection in 'initialization code'.    
// ------------------------------------    
// Create Standard Toolbar                                      // ------------------------------------    
ICommandBarPtr pToolbar = g_spCommandBars->Add(_bstr_t("WhammyBar"), xtpBarTop);    
pToolbar->PutBarID(ID_MAIN_TOOLBAR);    
pDesignerControls = g_spCommandBars->GetDesignerControls();    
pControls = pToolbar->GetControls();    
pControl = pControls->Add(xtpControlButton, M_FILE_NEW, "");    
pControl->PutDescriptionText(_bstr_t("Create a new document"));    
pDesignerControls->AddControl(pControl);

I also have a same problem.

To fix it, i already scanned the sample code supported by extoolkit.

And i found out some clue. whenever i implement custom control or popuped control on the toolbar, then whole custom menu related to this toolbar turned disabled or grayed. Is it bugs? or did i commit any mistake?

Hi,
