Hiding "Add or Remove Buttons" from expand button

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

   There was a post in the ActiveX / COM forum asking the same thing but I thought maybe the solution they were using was different as I have tried it with no success. For ref see http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16196

They suggested using the bShowExpandButtonAlways option of the command bars but I tried this and I just get the usual expand button with the "Add or Remove Buttons" menu item.

I want to just have the expand button with nothing but the toolbar buttons that didn't fit on the toolbar itself.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Lewis

	do you mean to hide the expending menu?? Call this method to show/hide expand button of toolbar void ShowExpandButton( BOOL bShowExpandButton );

	Hello This answer is wrong. Like Ifoster I also want to remove the "Add or remove buttons" menu entry WITHOUT removing the icons that don't fit into the toolbar. But pCommandBar->ShowExpandButton(FALSE); removes BOTH! This is not what I want

	You can do something like this: Private Sub CommandBars_InitCommandsPopup(ByVal CommandBar As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar) On Error Resume Next CommandBar.Controls.Find(, XTP_ID_CUSTOMIZE_ADDORREMOVE, , True).Visible = False End Sub OR if you still want the expand button displayed all the time, but don't want add\remove: Private Sub CommandBars_InitCommandsPopup(ByVal CommandBar As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar) On Error Resume Next CommandBar.Controls.Find(, XTP_ID_CUSTOMIZE_ADDORREMOVE, , True).Visible = False If Not CommandBar.Controls.Find(, XTP_ID_CUSTOMIZE_ADDORREMOVE, , True).Visible Then If CommandBar.Controls.Count = 1 Then CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlLabel, 1234, "No Options Available", , True End If End If End Sub

	You need something like this for MFC version (untested code) BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CMDIFrameWnd) ... ON_XTP_INITCOMMANDSPOPUP() ... END_MESSAGE_MAP() ... afx_msg void OnInitCommandsPopup(CXTPPopupBar* pComandBar); ... void CMainFrame::OnInitCommandsPopup(CXTPPopupBar* pCommandBar) { // get the list of commands for the popup. CXTPControls* pCommandList = pCommandBar->GetControls(); // Remove "Add\Remove" menu item from the File menu. CXTPControl* pCommandNew = pCommandList->FindControl( xtpControlButton, XTP_ID_CUSTOMIZE_ADDORREMOVE, TRUE, FALSE); if (pCommandNew) { pCommandList->Remove(pCommandNew); } }
