Popup menu on a toolbar in a Modal Dialog

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

I am trying to constuct a dynamic menu on a CXTPControlPopup with flags set to xtpButtonSplitDropDown on a toolbar in a Modal Dialog.

I put ON_XTP_INITCOMMANDSPOPUP in my dialog message map, but the handler is not being called.  The CXTPControlPopup is constructed and is enabled, but I don't get into my handler on pressing the arrow.

I have exactly the same thing working (well) in a ribbon bar (ie in CMainFrame).  I am guessing that something about the modal dialog is different.  What do I need to do to get this working in a dialog?

Thanks for any help,

Mark

	I have discovered that attaching an empty menu to the popup when it is created in OnCreateControl() does the trick: CXTPControlPopup * popup = new CXTPControlPopup(); ... other setup ... CMenu menu; menu.CreateMenu(); popup->SetCommandBar(&menu); Not sure why this makes things work, or if this is the approved solution. Any input appreciated; I always like to know why things work, Mark
