the project was build from MFC ActiveX Control Wizard, then i add a frame class into the project, but the class CXTPDockingPane works badly: it seems that user interface is always not refresh automatically.

i'm a newbie, can anyone help me to solve this problem or give me some tips?

thanks!

Because in ActiveX don't send WM_IDLEUPDATECMDUI to frames.

you can set timer and send this message manaully

SetTimer(TID_UPDATE, 100, NULL);

void CDockingPaneSite::OnTimer(UINT_PTR nIDEvent)
{
if (nIDEvent == TID_UPDATE)
{
UpdatePanes();
OnIdleUpdateCmdUI();
}

CWnd::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}

void CDockingPaneCtrl::OleUpdatePanes()
{
  CXTPDockingPaneManager* pDockingPaneManager = m_pMainWnd->GetDockingPaneManager();

  pDockingPaneManager->OnIdleUpdateCmdUI(1, 1);
  ...

}
