Hello, Is there a white paper or tutorial that discusses runtime user Customization of toolbars and menus? In C++, I am doing this: pCommandBars->EnableCustomization(VARIANT_TRUE); pControl = pControls->Add(xtpControlButton, M_FILE_NEW, ""); pControl->PutDescriptionText(_bstr_t("Create a new document")); pDesignerControls->AddControl(pControl); When I click on the arrow to open the Customization dialog, I see this:  Why are the command items greyed out? And the Customize dialog -- how do I populate it:  Thanks for any advice...

Hi,
Call EnableCustomize only after all menus/toolbars will be created - it will create "original" state of commandbars. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Thanks for the reply. The items in the Add/Remove dialog are now active. However, there are no commands in the Customize/Actions tab. When I create the toolbars, I add the controls to the DesignerControls collection: pControl = pControls->Add(xtpControlButton, M_FILE_NEW, ""); pControl->PutDescriptionText(_bstr_t("Create a new document")); pDesignerControls->AddControl(pControl); Or does the DesignerControls collection have to get populated in the Customization event handler? |

Hi, Yes you need fill DesignerControls. In Customization event or just in initialization code. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

I am having the same problem. Do we need to clone the control, or just add the original one? ------------- ActiveX 13.2.1 Strider |

I also have a same problem. To fix it, i already scanned the sample code supported by extoolkit. And i found out some clue. whenever i implement custom control or popuped control on the toolbar, then whole custom menu related to this toolbar turned disabled or grayed. Is it bugs? or did i commit any mistake? |

The information in the help file suggests you can add an existing control: AddControl Method Adds an existing command bar control to the collection. Has anyone made any progress on this problem? ------------- Xtreme CommandBars ActiveX v 12.1.0 |

Hi,
You can't add same control to toolbar and designers controls. Create it again : pDesignerControls->Add(xtpControlButton, etc) ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

What is AddControl() for, and how would you use it? Is there an easy way to clone a control? CommandBarControl->Copy() needs a CommandBar for its first param. ------------- Xtreme CommandBars ActiveX v 12.1.0 |
