Hey everyone,
I am very new to the toolkit and I am fooling around with some things
getting ramped up for a product my company is working on. I am
using the CXTTrayIcon class as in the examples and calling
CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu(CMenu*,..) to display the menu
associated with the tray icon.
In my application, I need the menu that pops up to be able to display
dynamic content. In previous MFC (non-codejock apps) this was
solved by using ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI combined with
pCmdUI->m_pMenu->AppendMenu(..). Trying the same mechanism
with my codejock app results in a little different behavior. In
the pure MFC app, the pCmdUI->m_pSubMenu and pCmdUI->m_pMenu
members were usable values in some cases (such as when i the update
message is passed on a submenu) but in the app with the tray icon, the
m_pSubMenu and m_pMenu are always NULL - so I can't use the same
technique that I am used to. Interestingly enough, if i take out
the call to CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu(CMenu*,...) and use the
CMenu object's TrackPopupMenu method directly, then none of my
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handlers are called at all.
My question is basically what is the best way to go about making a
system tray popup menu that contains dynamic content. I have
tried using CXTPMenuBar, ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI, etc.. all without
perfect results. I am sure there is a good way to do this I am
just not familiar enough with the toolkit yet. Suggestions??
