I've successfully started implementation of a ribbon toolbar and that's all going fine given the greate sample app examples. However, here's what I want to do and I can't figure it out:
If I right-click in an active view, I have a right-click view pop-up context menu. This has been working fine for years. For example here's my right-click context menu as it appears now:
 However, I'd like this to be styled congruently with my ribbon interface. I'm using the xtpThemeOffice2007 style. I'd like to see icons on the left side of my context menu vs. the current check-boxes. How do I accomplish this?
Here's my existing code for creating my right-click context menu. Feel free to edit to help me out:
CMenu parent_menu;
CMenu * popup_menu;
CRect rect;
CPoint new_menu_position;
UINT popup_menu_id = IDR_VIEW_POPUP;
parent_menu.LoadMenu (popup_menu_id);
// Get a pointer to the menu
popup_menu = parent_menu.GetSubMenu (0);
PopulateViewPopup1( popup_menu, class_type);
// Display the menu at the mouse click position
GetWindowRect(&rect);
// Transform the screen coordinate point to a window-relative point
new_menu_position = CPoint (rect.left + point.x, rect.top + point.y);
Thanks for the help!

Check how RibbonSample implement such context menu. Instead API TrackPopupMenu, try ((CXTPMDIFrameWnd*)AfxGetMainWnd())->GetCommandBars()-> TrackPopupMenuEx(popup_menu, TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, point.x, point.y); ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |
