I am using a CXTPControlPopup (xtpControlSplitButtonPopup) in a toolbar. I would like to dynamically create the menu when the user clicks on the down arrow. How can I achieve this?

Ark42,

Thanks for the help. Now I could populate the menu dynamically.

I am running into following issue. The functions defined by the following message map entries are getting only when the user clicks on the "label" associated with the SplitButtonPopup. They are not getting called if the user clicks on the "arrow".

ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(IDC_WIFIDROPBUTTON, OnPopulateList)
ON_XTP_EXECUTE(IDC_WIFIDROPBUTTON, OnSelectListEntry)

Is this the expected behavior OR is this Toolkit bug? How can I overcome this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Oleg,

Thanks for your response.

I ended up over loading the OnControlSelected() by defining the following message map entry.

ON_MESSAGE(WM_XTP_CONTROLSELECTED, OnControlSelected)

Any potential problems with this approach?

Better way is WM_XTP_INITCOMMANDSPOPUP.
