    Posted: 24 February 2011 at 2:24pm
Is it possible to use the 'MFC Updating Command Mechanism' (ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI) for the commands and tabs, which were added by the AddCommand and AddTab methods?
 
A quick look inside the CXTPRibbonBackstageView implementation shows up that this general feature is not supported.

Even a hard coded version does not work:

            CXTPControl* p = pView->AddCommand(ID_FILE_SAVE);
            p->SetEnabled( FALSE );

Am I wrong or was this feature simple forgotten?

Thanks

Hi Oleg,
 
Could you please provide a small code example. If I assign a button to a command id handled by the normal command routing, it is not working?

If I add the ID of an existing control to a backstage button, it does not automatically use the command routing already existing. Enabling and disabling the control etc.
 
If I add a ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler to my backstage page for e.g. a button, it is not called.

If you implement the command handling with

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CBackstagePage, CXTPRibbonBackstagePage)
    ON_COMMAND_EX(IDC_BUTTON,OnCommand)
    ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(IDC_BUTTON,OnUpdateCommand)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

the OnCommand mechanism works fine but the update handler OnUpdateCommand is never called.

With best regards

Another problem in paradise.

We need a trigger to determine, when a backstage page becomes active/inactive.

Although the CXTPRibbonBackstagePage inherits from CXTPResizePropertyPage the methods ‘OnSetActive’ and ‘OnKillActive’ are never called.

The approach to use the the OnShowWindow method works only for the case that the page becomes inactive.

So we patched the CXTPRibbonBackstageView::SetActiveTab method and handle the notification inside each backstage page.

if (pNewContent)
{
    pNewContent->ModifyStyle(WS_POPUP, WS_CHILD);
    pNewContent->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT);
    pNewContent->SetParent(this);
/* *** */
    pNewContent->SendMessage( WM_NOTIFY, PSN_SETACTIVE, NULL );
/* *** */
}

if (pOldContent && pOldContent != pNewContent)
{
/* *** */
    pOldContent->SendMessage( WM_NOTIFY, PSN_KILLACTIVE, NULL );
/* *** */
    pOldContent->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
    pOldContent->SetParent(GetSite());
}

Is there a better solution?

With best regards

In v17.2.0 you now call both OnSetActive and OnKillActive.

But you forgot to implement the return value for OnKillActive correctly. If returning FALSE I would expect that the backstage page would not close. This could be a way to prevent the page from changing if e.g. something needs to be addresses before closing. Or is there another way to prevent the page from closing?

Hello cpede,

I have added appropriate changes 
void CXTPRibbonBackstageView::SetActiveTab(CXTPRibbonBackstageTab* pTab)
{
    CWnd* pOldContent = GetActiveControlPane();

    if (pOldContent && pOldContent->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CPropertyPage)))
    {
        if (((CPropertyPage*)pOldContent)->OnKillActive() == FALSE)
            return;
    }

    m_pActiveTab = pTab;

    CWnd* pNewContent = GetActiveControlPane();

    if (pNewContent)
    {
        pNewContent->ModifyStyle(WS_POPUP, WS_CHILD);
        pNewContent->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT);
        pNewContent->SetParent(this);
    }

    if (pOldContent && pOldContent != pNewContent)
    {
        pOldContent->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
        pOldContent->SetParent(GetSite());
    }

    if (m_pActiveTab)
    {
        m_pActiveTab->NotifySite(XTP_BS_TABCHANGED);
    }

    if (pNewContent && pNewContent->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CPropertyPage)))
    {
        ((CPropertyPage*)pNewContent)->OnSetActive();
    }

    RecalcLayout();
}


Thank you to bringing this to our attention.
Regards,
 Oleksandr Lebed
