I have created Ribbon bar and created some buttons using CXTPControlButton class. I need to do some update on button in software using ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler.

But buttons are not updating in case of i already add code for Enable state. If i move mouse on button or minize application then it is updating this buttons.

I had also checked CPU usage but my application is 3D so it is using 20 to 30 percent CPU in taskManager.

So what should be problem ? Anyone can give me suggestion ?

Hi,

Think you send too mach messages - maybe its WM_PAINT or WM_TIMER and CWinApp don't enter to Idle state to send WM_IDLEUPDATECMDUI.

Try to monitor your messages with Spy.

Make sure the manual update flag is not set. If it is, CJ will not call OnCmdMsg and your message map entry will not be called. If the ribbon site is the mainframe, your mainframe message map should have the entry.

pControl->SetFlags( pControl->GetFlags() & ~xtpFlagManualUpdate );

Yes i am using 3 Timers and interval is too short of timers. If i switch off timer then it working perfect. Currently i have done solution using make manually update in one of timer using

GetCommandBars()->UpdateCommandBars();

that's working perfect for me
