I have a class CFormatToolBar that derives from CXTPToolBar.  I'm trying to keep the creation of the controls in that toolbar contained within that class.  Is it possible to map the ON_XTP_CREATECONTROL() message in my derived class?  Right now, the OnCreateControl method isn't getting called, although the toolbar is loading ok.

E.g Will the following work in a CXTPToolBar derived class?

WM_XTP_CREATECONTROL sends only to parent CommandBars object (Frame).

You can catch it on frame and deliver to Toolbar object.

ok.  That's what I'm doing currently.

This message appears in xtpcontrolcombobox.h in the following snippet:

AFX_INLINE int CXTPControlComboBox::AddString(CString str) {

return GetListBoxCtrl()->AddString(str);

I've attached the CFormatBar class files.

In CMainFrame I did the following to pass the messages on:

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CFrameWnd)

ON_XTP_CREATECONTROL()

END_MESSAGE_MAP()

int CMainFrame::OnCreateControl(LPCREATECONTROLSTRUCT lpCreateControl)

{

CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();

if (pCommandBars != NULL)

{

CXTPToolBar* pToolbar = pCommandBars->GetToolBar(IDR_FORMAT_TOOLBAR);

if (pToolbar)

{

CFormatToolBar* pFmtBar = (CFormatToolBar*) pToolbar;

return pFmtBar->OnCreateControl(lpCreateControl);

}

}

return FALSE;

}

Don't use member variables

XTPControlComboBox m_fontSizeCombo;

create it dynamically:

CXTPControlComboBox* fontSizeCombo = new CXTPControlComboBox();

Oleg,

OK... that sounds reasonable, but how can I get a hold of the control by ID?  E.g. by ID.

I see how to get a toolbar by ID, I can get a list of controls, but haven't been able to figure out how to get a control by its ID.  I need to modify this control in response to an event generated by a different control.

Thanks,

Craig

Hello,

CXTPControl* pControl = pToolBar->GetControls()->FindControl(id);

but! don't forget that user can customize this toolbar and move button away.
