Enable/Disable buttons in CXTPToolBar

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

   I created a CXTPToolBar with several buttons. One of the buttons is "Action", and its handler is OnAction(). Here is my problem: After OnAction() is executed, all the buttons on the toolbar seem to be reset and enabled!

A self-written method RefreshToolBarButtons() is called at the end of OnAction() function to update the enable/disable status of all the buttons. (Yes, for some reason, I didn't use ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler.) I expect all the buttons should be disabled after calling RefreshToolBarButtons() because the visual studio debugger stepped through the following:
{....
CXTPControl* pButtonAction = pToolBar->GetControls()->FindControl(xtpControlButton, ID_ACTION, TRUE, FALSE);
CXTPControl* pButtonAnotherAction = pToolBar->GetControls()->FindControl(xtpControlButton, ID_ANOTHER_ACTION, TRUE, FALSE);
pButtonAction->SetEnabled(FALSE);
pButtonAnother->SetEnabled(FALSE);
....
}

Note:
I tried several ways, but it still does not work.
Added pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bDisableCommandIfNoHandler = TRUE;
call pToolBar->UpdateWindow(); after calling SetEnabled(FALSE).
Any suggestions are appreciated.

	If you don't use handler you must set special flag to ignore it: pControl->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);
