hi all

I have a MFC application which is using self-draw menu(author:Bruno Podetti, http://www.podetti.com/NewMenu - www.podetti.com/NewMenu )
When I apply skinframework on it, every things seems perfect except the menu, although the menu is visible , but it is blank for popup menu item, here is snapshot

Through debuging, I find the function"void CNewMenu::DrawItem (LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDIS)" never be called if we apply skinframework ,that is reason why the menu is blank, but how to solve this problems

here is my entironment
   Product: Xtreme ToolkitPro (MFC) version 12.1.1
   Platform: Windows (32bit) - XP
   Language: Visual C++

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I recommend enable our CommandBars. He use too much hacks in his code.

Why the function"void CNewMenu::DrawItem (LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDIS)" never be called if we apply skinframework ,would you explain the reason from the view of Skin engine

Do we must give up our original code? in fact we have run this application for a long time and the stability is ensured, so if possible, please tell me a soluction to deal with this issue, Maybe for next project, we will use all XT all features from start

I encountered the same problem. This is caused by the skin, but I didn't know how to solve this.

Sometimes the close button is disabled for MainFrame window after applying skinframework

Who can tell me the reason

I have the same problem. If I call from my application an other application then I can't see some toolbar buttons and no menu item text by popup-menus.

So I tried to solve the problem with the following ideas:

I excluced the library from the other application with <XTPSkinManager()->ExcludeModule> and I called

<XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewWindows (FALSE)>.

Does anybody know a solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance

Just curious why not use Codejock CommandBars? What do those menus do that Codejock can't?

I have to agree with SuperMario here. Takes like one hour to emigrate to CommandBars...

Anyway, we fixed the issue for 13.2

I give a temporary solution to my question

the solution is to modify the function CXTPSkinPopupMenu::OnPaint()
replace the code line
dis.hwndItem = m_hWnd;
with
dis.hwndItem = (HWND)m_hMenu;

it works well in my project

The only reason is it is tiny UI component

Of course the codejock is powerful ,but while it is too heavy

Sometime we don't need so many features
