I've modified an app to give it floating/selectable command bars. The class now inherits from CXTPDialog (was CDialog). The app is pretty large & I'm not terribly familiar w/ MFC & XTP.

Is there a way to have the dialog window layout adjust to make room for the command bars? (This seems to get handled fine in the samples code based on FrameWnd -- converting the app to a CXTPFrameWnd seems like a lot of trouble).

Also, my CXTPCommandBars only contains 2 CXTPToolBar's -- no CXTPCommandBar's. I want to prevent the "standard" toolbar from being hidden. I was able to force this by making the toolbar visiable in OnSize(). Is there a more elegant way to handle this?

Hi,

Please check how Samples\CommandBars\DialogSample sample works.

Thanks. I looked through the sample & tried a few things.

In this sample RepositionControls() calls Offset(), which depends on SetResize() being called for all the dialog windows. This application has dozens of windows (most of which are static in size). Is there a quick way to add all the app child windows?

Another thought that occurred to me was to group the dozens of controls into a "sub-window" but I don't see a way to do that in the dialog designer.

Answer (for adding all child windows):

for (CWnd *currWin = GetWindow(GW_CHILD);
       currWin != 0;
       currWin = currWin->GetWindow(GW_HWNDNEXT))
{
    SetResize (currWin->GetDlgCtrlID(), 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
}

Hello,

Did anyone managed to solve problem with toolbar in dialog.

My dialog is not resizable, and I want to display toolbar in specific position in a dialog (this will be used as a toolbar for rich edit control)

Any examples will be much appreciated.

Seb
