Topic: Hiding "Add or Remove Buttons" from expand button

Subject: Hiding "Add or Remove Buttons" from expand button

There was a post in the ActiveX / COM forum asking the same thing but I thought maybe the solution they were using was different as I have tried it with no success. For ref see http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16196

They suggested using the bShowExpandButtonAlways option of the command bars but I tried this and I just get the usual expand button with the "Add or Remove Buttons" menu item.

I want to just have the expand button with nothing but the toolbar buttons that didn't fit on the toolbar itself.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Lewis

do you mean to hide the expending menu??

Call this method to show/hide expand button of toolbar

void ShowExpandButton(
    BOOL bShowExpandButton
);

Hello

This answer is wrong.

Like Ifoster I also want to remove the "Add or remove buttons" menu entry WITHOUT removing the icons that don't fit into the toolbar.
But
pCommandBar->ShowExpandButton(FALSE);

removes BOTH!

This is not what I want

You can do something like this:

Private Sub CommandBars_InitCommandsPopup(ByVal CommandBar As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar)
    On Error Resume Next
        CommandBar.Controls.Find(, XTP_ID_CUSTOMIZE_ADDORREMOVE, , True).Visible = False
End Sub

OR if you still want the expand button displayed all the time, but don't want add\remove:

Private Sub CommandBars_InitCommandsPopup(ByVal CommandBar As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar)
    On Error Resume Next
        CommandBar.Controls.Find(, XTP_ID_CUSTOMIZE_ADDORREMOVE, , True).Visible = False
        If Not CommandBar.Controls.Find(, XTP_ID_CUSTOMIZE_ADDORREMOVE, , True).Visible Then
            If CommandBar.Controls.Count = 1 Then
                CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlLabel, 1234, "No Options Available", , True
            End If
        End If
End Sub

You need something like this for MFC version (untested code)

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CMDIFrameWnd)
...
    ON_XTP_INITCOMMANDSPOPUP()
...
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
...
afx_msg void OnInitCommandsPopup(CXTPPopupBar* pComandBar);
...
void CMainFrame::OnInitCommandsPopup(CXTPPopupBar* pCommandBar)
{
    // get the list of commands for the popup.
    CXTPControls* pCommandList = pCommandBar->GetControls();

    // Remove "Add\Remove" menu item from the File menu.
    CXTPControl* pCommandNew = pCommandList->FindControl(
        xtpControlButton, XTP_ID_CUSTOMIZE_ADDORREMOVE, TRUE, FALSE);
    if (pCommandNew)
    {
        pCommandList->Remove(pCommandNew);
    }
}
