after running this code:


Set mnuTools = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlPopup, ID_MENU_TOOL, "Tools")
Set mnuTools = CommandBars.FindControl(xtpControlPopup, ID_MENU_TOOL, , True)

the mnuTools is Nothing. it's, of course, incorrect.

but if I run this:


Set mnuTools = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlPopup, ID_MENU_TOOL, "Tools")
mnuTools.Id = ID_MENU_TOOL
Set mnuTools = CommandBars.FindControl(xtpControlPopup, ID_MENU_TOOL, , True)

the mnuTools will be correct.

I wonder why

The procedure Add won't set the id of the new CommandBar?

would this be an issue?

i don't know whether the description is clear or not.

what i mean is i must set the id of a new CommandBar manually, otherwise the FindControl will return Nothing.

Yes, that is correct, you must manually assign the ID to popup controls.

since the prototype of Add is:


Public Function Add( _
   ByVal Type As  mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Codejock%20Software\ActiveX\Xtreme%20Suite%20Pro%20ActiveX%20v9.60\help\SymbolReference.chm::/XtremeCommandBars~Enumerations~XTPControlType_EN.html - XTPControlType , _
   ByVal Id As Long, _
   ByVal Caption As String, _
   Optional ByVal Before As Variant, _
   Optional ByVal Temporary As Variant _
) As  mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Codejock%20Software\ActiveX\Xtreme%20Suite%20Pro%20ActiveX%20v9.60\help\SymbolReference.chm::/XtremeCommandBars~CommandBarControl.html - CommandBarControl

after calling Add, the new CommandBarControl's ID should be set automatically by the literal meaning of the second parameter of Add, shouldn't it?

would this problem be fixed in the next release?

This has been a well known problem since forever. (Or at least for the past year and a half, based on forum posts.) I'm really surprised it hasn't been fixed.
