Topic: CXTPToolBar in dialogs

Hi all,

Is anyone using CXTPToolBars in dialogs or this not recommended? The problem is that the toolbar is not receiving ui update messages. I can get around this by calling

SendMessageToDescendants(WM_IDLEUPDATECMDUI);

in OnTimer(), but is there a better place to call this or another way of doing it all together?

Should I be using MFC toolbars instead?

thanks for any help,
Andy

Add the following member function declaration to the dialog class
declaration file.

afx_msg LRESULT OnKickIdle(WPARAM wp, LPARAM lCount);

Add the following member function definition to the dialog class definition file.

LRESULT CDialogSampleDlg::OnKickIdle(WPARAM, LPARAM)
{
SendMessageToDescendants(WM_IDLEUPDATECMDUI);
return 0;
}

Add the following macro to the message map section in the dialog class definition file.

ON_MESSAGE(WM_KICKIDLE, OnKickIdle)
