Topic: Popup menu on a toolbar in a Modal Dialog

I am trying to constuct a dynamic menu on a CXTPControlPopup with flags set to xtpButtonSplitDropDown on a toolbar in a Modal Dialog.

I put ON_XTP_INITCOMMANDSPOPUP in my dialog message map, but the handler is not being called. The CXTPControlPopup is constructed and is enabled, but I don't get into my handler on pressing the arrow.

I have exactly the same thing working (well) in a ribbon bar (ie in CMainFrame). I am guessing that something about the modal dialog is different. What do I need to do to get this working in a dialog?

Thanks for any help,

Mark

I have discovered that attaching an empty menu to the popup when it is created in OnCreateControl() does the trick:

CXTPControlPopup * popup = new CXTPControlPopup();

... other setup

...

CMenu menu;

menu.CreateMenu();

popup->SetCommandBar(&menu);

Not sure why this makes things work, or if this is the approved solution. Any input appreciated; I always like to know why things work,
