My app loads some of it's menus and toolbars from DLLs. How do I load Designer created elements (CommandBars and Menus) from various DLL locations?

I looked at your Scribble example but it seems to load the entire UI from a DLL. My app needs to add elements to an exisitng UI. This would include inserting CommandBars to specific positions in the existing UI.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

With designer file you can load only whole commandbars.

You can copy toolbars around between loaded commandbars, though.

I had a similar issue: I wanted to use one designer file and share icons and commands between the command bar and some toolbars located elsewhere, so maybe this will help you:

Adds a toolbar from a designer-loadded commandbar to a CWnd-derived object (CTreePane). Error handling omitted for clarity

void CTreePane::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
    CWnd::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);
    if (!m_toolscopied) {
        CMainFrame *pframe = (CMainFrame *)AfxGetMainWnd();
        CXTPCommandBars *pcmdbars = pframe->GetCommandBars();
        CXTPToolBar *ptbar = pcmdbars->GetToolBar(TBR_TREE);
        CXTPControls *pcontrols = ptbar->GetControls()->Duplicate(TRUE);
        m_toolbar.SetControls(pcontrols);
        m_toolscopied = TRUE;
        m_toolbar.EnableDocking(xtpFlagAlignTop|xtpFlagHideWrap|xtpFlagStretched);
     }
//...
