When I create an interface in the Command Bar Designer I add many keyboard accelerators. They show up on the menus when looking at the proejct in the command bar designer.

When I load the interface into my application's main frame using LoadDesignerBars( ar ) the UI looks correct, and all of the defined IDs are there and work fine, but none of my custom accelerators show up on the menus.

Any clue as to what am I forgetting to do?

Thanks.

So you use it in MFC project? Where you call LoadDesignerBars?

Yes, MFC.

BOOL CMainFrame::LoadFrame(UINT nIDResource, DWORD dwDefaultStyle, CWnd* pParentWnd, CCreateContext* pContext)
{
    if (!CFrameWnd::LoadFrame(nIDResource, dwDefaultStyle, pParentWnd, pContext))
        return FALSE;

    GenerateCommandBars();

    LoadCommandBars(lpProfile);

    XTPShortcutManager()->LoadShortcuts(this, lpProfile);

    return TRUE;
}

calls...

void CMainFrame::GenerateCommandBars()
{
    CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
    pCommandBars->SetMenu( _T("Menu Bar"), 0);

    HRSRC hRsrs = FindResource(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
        MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_COMMAND_BARS_V2), _T("COMMAND_BAR_DATA"));

    ASSERT(hRsrs);

    if (hRsrs)
    {
        HGLOBAL hGlobal = LoadResource(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), hRsrs);

        if (hGlobal)
        {
             DWORD dwSize = SizeofResource(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), hRsrs);

             LPVOID pData = LockResource(hGlobal);

             CMemFile file((BYTE*)pData, dwSize);

             CArchive ar(&file, CArchive::load | CArchive::bNoFlushOnDelete);

             pCommandBars->LoadDesignerBars(ar);

             XTAuxData().InitResources(AfxGetInstanceHandle());
        }
    }
}

Thanks.

Oleg, you always know exactly what to ask to help me find my own bugs. I noticed when pasting the above code into the reply that I had a leftover call to:

XTPShortcutManager()->LoadShortcuts(this, lpProfile);

...which overrides the accelerators in the designer resource with whatever is in the registry. I removed that line and everything works as expected now.

Thanks! 

hmm...

removing this line you don't allow users to customize shortcuts... (if allowed)

if you allow to customize shortcuts, try to restore this line and delete old registry settings.

Thanks for the information. I don't currently support customizing shortcuts but when I add that functionality I'll remember to put this back in.

So are you saying that the old registry settings for the shortcuts were overriding the command bar designer shortcuts, and if I was running this app for the first time on a new computer the shortcuts should work even with this line in the code?

Thanks again.
