Hi,
You can create menu first from .RC and then GetCommandBars()->DoPropExchange to save to XML. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Thanks Oleg, 1) The XML file have different tags when we save using CommandBars Designer and DoPropExchange. 2) I have saved an XML using DoPropExchange and tried to open in CmdDesigner but i got errors about the missing tags.I fixed it by changing "Settings" to "DesignerFile" than the error didnt come but cmdbars designer remains empty. 3) And i tried to load the DoPropExchange's XML using LoadDesignerBars() in the Designer Sample but i didnt get any menu or toolbar in the application. ------------- Xtreme ToolkitPro 12.1.1 Win XP (32bit) - SP2 Visual C++ 6.0 SP 6 |

Set all params to true when you save it
XTP_COMMANDBARS_PROPEXCHANGE_PARAM param;
param.bSerializeControls = TRUE; param.bSerializeDesignerControls = TRUE; param.bSerializeImages = TRUE; param.bSerializeOptions = TRUE; param.bSerializeActions = TRUE; GetCommandBars()->DoPropExchange(&px, ¶m); ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

uploads/20090528_090733_Resources.zip - uploads/20090528_090733_Resources.zip Hearty  Thanks for considering my request.I have created a default sample using the VC++ 6 wizard provided by CodeJock. And pasted the code you provided in void CMainFrame::OnClose() { // Save the current state for toolbars and menus. SaveCommandBars(_T("CommandBars")); CString m_strXmlFileName = "Resources.xml"; CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode pPX(FALSE, 0, _T("DesignerFile")); // To serialize to XML file XTP_COMMANDBARS_PROPEXCHANGE_PARAM param; param.bSerializeControls = TRUE; param.bSerializeDesignerControls = TRUE; param.bSerializeImages = TRUE; param.bSerializeOptions = TRUE; param.bSerializeActions = TRUE; GetCommandBars()->DoPropExchange(&pPX, ¶m); pPX.SaveToFile(m_strXmlFileName); CMDIFrameWnd::OnClose(); } I have the AfxOleInit() in InitInstance. But the XML file saved by this sample app didnt have CommandBars node in the XML file. (I have attached the file.)

Thanks Oleg, Do i need to add pToolbar->GetControls()->Add(pControl); in Mainframe::OnCreate() ? LoadFrame() ? Add() will add the control at the end of toolbar controls but OnCreateControl() really provides an easy way to Put Customcontrols in the Toolbar in their own location. My old code that uses the loading of commandbars from resource works when i create custom controls in OnCreateControl() but when i Load Commandbars using the LoadDesignerBars() using XML file it didnt work the same way so i dont know which event will be called by LoadDesignerBars() where i can create custom controls which provides similar function of OnCreateControl() rather than using Add() method ... 2) oncreatecontrol() ? 2) createcommandbar() ? 3) oninitcommandspopup() ? 4) other ?

Hi Oleg, I have added a CommandButtonPopup(ColorPopup) using the pToolbar->GetControls()->Add() method after LoadDesignerBars(), the new button appears on the toolbar but still the OnCreateControl() is not called ? ------------- Xtreme ToolkitPro 12.1.1 Win XP (32bit) - SP2 Visual C++ 6.0 SP 6 |

Hi,
Yes, OnCreateControl is called only when you add buttons using IDs (pToolBar->SetButtons or pToolBar->LoadToolBar). If you manually create it, its not called. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Thanks Oleg, I am creating a ColorPopup in the OnCreateControl() like if (lpCreateControl->nID == ID_COLOR) { CXTPControlPopupColor* pPopupColor = new CXTPControlPopupColor(); CXTPPopupBar* pColorBar = CXTPPopupToolBar::CreatePopupToolBar(GetCommandBars()); pPopupColor->SetCommandBar(pColorBar); pColorBar->GetControls()->Add(new CXTPControlButtonColor(), XTP_IDS_AUTOMATIC_FILL); pColorBar->GetControls()->Add(new CXTPControlColorSelector(), ID_SELECTOR_FILL); pColorBar->GetControls()->Add(new CXTPControlButtonColor(), XTP_IDS_MORE_COLORS_FILL); pColorBar->SetTearOffPopup(_T("Color"), 1006, 0); pColorBar->InternalRelease(); lpCreateControl->pControl = pPopupColor; return TRUE; } and a custom control like if (lpCreateControl->nID == ID_STYLE) { CXTPControlCustom* pControl = CXTPControlCustom::CreateControlCustom(&m_wndComboStyle); pControl->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate) ; lpCreateControl->pControl = pControl; return TRUE; } If we use XML which is the best way to do the same ? ------------- Xtreme ToolkitPro 12.1.1 Win XP (32bit) - SP2 Visual C++ 6.0 SP 6 |

Hi,
So just use same code - first create control and then add it with pToolBar->GetControls()->Add(pPopupColor ); ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |
