Hello!

I'd like to implement CXTPMenuBar into our application. The thing is the main application window has been written long ago in API, pure C. It's got nothing to do with any of CFrameWnd classes. Now I am going to "modernize" the UI a little but it's not possible to rewrite the main window in MFC. Don't ask me why - there's a lot of old reasons. The menus are dynamic and they are implemented in a separate dll, using CreateMenu(),SetMenu(),... API set of functions.

My question is of course: is it at all possible to implement CXTPMenuBar in that enviroment? If I don't have a "proper" CXTPFrameWnd-derived window how can I initialize the whole environment which is normally done at OnCreate()?

Best regards!

Maciej

Sorry, CommandBars can't be used without CFrameWnd.

A simple trick works. I created an object inherited from CXTPFrameWnd and then attached a main application window (with its handle) to the object. I had to manually initialize the environment (no OnCreate function) but it works. I got the whole XTPFrame at the main application window - menus, toolbars... We'll see!

Regards!
