Context menu - How?

Ok, I've solved that one (a search of the forum revealed I should have called CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu()) but now I have a related question:

Another forum search has suggested that I cannot get a pointer to a CMenu from a CXTPMenuBar. Is this correct and I have to re-write all my CMenu handling code (enabling/disabling menu items depending on context) in terms of the XT classes or is there a way to get to the underlying CMenu object? The forum message saying that you can't was from a newbie user so I'm after the official word, just to be sure.

Al.

What is the proper way to get rid of a popup context menu?  On windows xp I can left mouse click anyplace in the view and the menu will go away.  However on Windows 98 and ME, this will not work!

Is there any examples on how to do this correctly in the toolkit examples?

Here's exactly what I do, and the code works fine on XP, but not Windows 98 or ME.

void CMyView::OnContextMenu(CWnd* pWnd,CPoint point)
 {
 if(point.x < 0 || point.y < 0 )
      {
      point.x = 0;
      point.y = 0;
      ClientToScreen(&point);
      }
 CMenu myMenu;
 myMenu.LoadMenu(IDR_NTPOPUP);
 CMenu* myPopup = myMenu.GetSubMenu(0);
 CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu(myPopup,TPM_LEFTALIGN| TPM_RIGHTBUTTON,point.x,point.y,this);
 }

I don't believe its a focus problem.  If I use:

void CSecureNetTermView::OnContextMenu(CWnd* pWnd,CPoint point)
 {
 if(point.x < 0 || point.y < 0 )
      {
      point.x = 0;
      point.y = 0;
      ClientToScreen(&point);
      }
 CMenu myMenu;
 myMenu.LoadMenu(IDR_NTPOPUP);
 CMenu* myPopup = myMenu.GetSubMenu(0);
 myPopup->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_LEFTBUTTON,point.x,point.y,AfxGetMainWnd(),NULL);
 }

Then everything works fine on all systems.  However I get the old style menu instead of the toolkitpro style menu.

Just another one of those strange ToolKitPro things like the CXTToolBar with the flag set not to display the customization bar, but the space is still there for the customization bar.  Strange stuff indeed!

The latest version.  I used the code exactly as shown by I guess the one and only codejock developer.  In this case I am using his example code to turn off the customizable dropdown on only one toolbar.  The rest have the customizable dropdown enabled. It works with the exception that I cannot drag the toolbar flush against the right edge of the window.

Also, on this problem, by view is a CFormView.  Perhaps that is the difference that is causing the problem.

I added the code within the DialogSample suggested by Oleg, but it has no affect.  That sample does have the general menubar logic, but not a contextmenu popup.

Perhaps there is very good reason for contextmenu popup samples not being shown anywhere.

Ark41, On the toolbar issue:

This problem can be seen in the ToolKitPro examples, CommonControls when you add the following to the MainFrm OnCreate function:

 GetCommandBars()->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bShow ExpandButtonAlways = FALSE;

Try to move the Animation, slider and the one with the words "Opened Documents" toolbars to the far right of the window and you can see it will stop exactly one dropdown button width from the right side.

Maybe its my system.  Would you try adding the line:

GetCommandBars()->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bShow ExpandButtonAlways = FALSE;

in the OnCreate function of the CommonControls sample and see if the animation, slider and static control aligns with the right border correct.
