Topic: Customized menu captions are not saved

In customization mode, a user can right-click on a menu item and then edit the text that appears on the menu. This change does not appear to be saved by the CommandBars.SaveCommandBars method. Is there a flag that needs to be set somewhere that will cause these changes to be saved?

The SaveStateToXMLString (with save ony customized changes) does include the menu caption changes, but when the changes are loaded by LoadStateFromXMLString, they are no longer considered to be customizations and calling SaveStateToXMLString again (saving only customized changes) does not include these old custmizations and so they are lost. Is there a way around this?

The problem was that if you are using actions, and you modify an action's properties (e.g. caption), this does not get recognized as a customization and is not saved. You also have to modify a corresponding control too.

Then when the customizations are loaded with LoadCommandBars, the corresponding action properties are not updated with the new values. I had to add them manually.

Hi,

Why you change Actions captions manually in runtime ? Let user change them in customization dialog.

In my software, the user is able to add a command to the menu and define the behavior of that command. The name of the command and its behavior are defined on a form. Prior to this point, there is nothing to customize.
