I use a SplitButtonPopup in a Ribbon and want to make the last clicked menu item the default for clicking the button itself.
To achieve that I reset the ID, Caption, Prompt and IconID of that control after it was clicked.
As the caption text of the different menu entries have different length, the button text get clipped when a longer text replaces a shorter text. Resizing the main window where the Ribbon lives in does redraw the button with its correct size.
I tried InvalidateRect(NULL, TRUE) on the mainframe and the ribbon but that did not redraw the window.
Only SetWindowPos with +1 width and SetWindowPos with the old width did update the buttons size.
Is there another method to force redrawing ribbon controls?
Resizing the main window just does not feel right...
Thanks,

Hi, have you tried: GetCommandBars()->RedrawCommandBars(); |
