Where should I re-populate a dynamic popup menu that is used in a split-button of a ribbon button?
I tried adding it in my update-handler, but that resulted in extreme flickering :P.
Your ribbon samples do not demonstrate this. The undo-menu (as close as it gets) is a gallery... :(

Hi,
Most right way is to create special control that popuplates menu. See how it work in Samples\CommandBars\DynamicPopups\ControlUndo.cpp

Just want to point out that DynamicPopups principle does not work for ribbon-controls! However, simply adding the control to the group solves it. But if OnCreateControl is supposed to be fired, you do indeed have a bug!

Hi,
OnCalcDynamicSize will be called when size of Ribbon will be changed or something like that. Better use it only in Popup windows - not in toolbars or Ribbons.

Ok, I just noticed there is a problem with OnCalcDynamicSize when the the menu buttons do not close the menu (SetCloseOnSubMenuClick(FALSE)). The item is not redrawn after clicking it the first time. Perhaps just a ribbon-problem, but I sense this is a problem for the DynamicPopup sample too. Anyway, can you please tell me how to create a dynamic popup-menu for a ribbon control. Do I have to use a gallery? Thanks! |

Hi, Same way will work for dynamic popup-menu for a ribbon control. You only can't use it to popluate control directly in Ribbon.

Ok, so the question remains. When should I populate/re-populate it? The wanted items will change during the lifetime of the ribbon...
Perhaps the gallery-handler? OnMyGallery() ...

Hi, I don't understand your task. You alredy wrote 3 times that these items inside popup-menu and not inside Ribbon.

I solved it, so let me explain.
I have a popup-button in my ribbon. The popup menu to show is dynamic and changes every now and then. Where should I populate it?
The answer is: ON_XTP_INITMENUPOPUP (don't remember the exact name). Inside this handler I remove all menu-items and recreate them. Works!
