Hello,

I have an application where each toolbar button shows a menu.

When i click on each button consecutively, the buttons do not lose focus. It remains highlighted (orange color)

See the attached image.

Please let me know how the focus can be removed when the user moves from one button to another.

Another related problem is that if a dialog is shown on clicking the toolbar button, the focus is not gone until the dialog box is closed.

Please let me know the solution for this problem.

Regards,
Gautam Jain

As you can see DialogSample code, you must add

ON_MESSAGE(WM_KICKIDLE, OnKickIdle)

LRESULT CDialogSampleDlg::OnKickIdle(WPARAM, LPARAM)
{
m_wndToolBar.SendMessage(WM_IDLEUPDATECMDUI, TRUE);
return 0;
}

Oleg,

I tried what you suggested, but it did not work.

Mine is a MainFrame, so WM_KICKIDLE is not kicked by default. So I used SendMessage in my CWinApp::OnIdle function to send WM_KICKIDLE message

Still the toolbar button remains focused.

In my first post I attached a GIF file. Please have a look at it.

It is very urgent.

Regards,
Gautam Jain

Oleg. I fixed the problem by calling pControl->SetPressed(FALSE) immediately after TrackPopupMenu.

So once the menu is closed, the button (pControl) is set back to normal state.

Thanks for your care.
