Problem Responding CXTPControlCustom Button Click

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am updating an application that used a much older version of the CodeJock libraries.
The application has a complicated class that is derived from CButton used in a toolbar, so I would like to just use this class with CXTPControlCustom.
While the toolbar buttons appear fine, there is no response when they are clicked. 

So I modified the Samples\CommandBars\CommonControls sample to add a CButton to the CommandBar using CXTPControlCustom to try to understand the problem. I am unable to get any action out of clicking the CXTPControlCustom CButton in the modified sample, either.

Seems like I am missing something obvious and I hope some CodeJock experts can help out.

Here is the code from the modified sample application, where I create the custom control.

int CMainFrame::OnCreateControl(LPCREATECONTROLSTRUCT lpCreateControl)

{
  int iID = lpCreateControl->nID;

  // Create the Button control
  if (lpCreateControl->nID == ID_TVTOOLBAR_BMP2)

  {
     // Get the ID of the control currently being created

    UINT nID = lpCreateControl->nID;

    m_wndTVButton1.Create("TVButton1",WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON,

    CRect(0, 0, 70, 20), this, ID_TVTOOLBAR_BMP2);

    m_wndTVButton1.SetFocus();
    // Use m_wndTVButton1 to create a CXTPControlCustom* control

    CXTPControlCustom* pCustomButton = CXTPControlCustom::CreateControlCustom(&m_wndTVButton1);
    // Set the ID of the custom control to the ID of the radio button

    pCustomButton->SetID(nID);
    lpCreateControl->pControl = pCustomButton;
    return TRUE;

  }

Here is the code from the MESSAGE_MAP where I tried to catch the button click event (I tried various methods, none worked).

ON_COMMAND(ID_TVTOOLBAR_BMP2, OnTVButtonClicked)
ON_BN_CLICKED(ID_TVTOOLBAR_BMP2,OnTVButtonClicked)
ON_XTP_EXECUTE(ID_TVTOOLBAR_BMP2, OnTVButtonExecute)

and the simple functions that never get called are below.

void CMainFrame::OnTVButtonClicked()

{
   AfxMessageBox("TV Button Clicked Msg");

}
void CMainFrame::OnTVButtonExecute(NMHDR *pNMHDR,LRESULT *pResult)

{
   AfxMessageBox("TV Button Clicked Execute Msg");

}

Thanks for the help,
Tom

	After a while I figured this out by wandering through the samples. To respond to a click on a CXTPControlCustom control, you need to use a MESSAGE_MAP defined in your custom control with an ON_CONTROL_REFLECT macro like, ON_CONTROL_REFLECTION(BN_CLICKED, OnTVButtonClicked). I am not sure why direct ON_COMMAND() macros in MainFrame.cpp message map do not work for CXTPControlCustom controls, but they don't and following the sample is not too hard. I would still like to understand why the messaging works this way.
