Is it possible to insert a CXTOutBarCtrl inside a Dialog Based Application?

I do the following:

1.- Add a member variable in MyDialogDlg.h:

CXTOutBarCtrl m_CtrlOutBar;

2.- Create de control in OnInitDialog() like this:

CRect dimensions;

GetClientRect(&dimensions);

if (!m_CtrlOutBar.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_CLIPCHILDREN, dimensions, this, IDC_OUTBAR, OBS_XT_DEFAULT|OBS_XT_ANIMATION))

{

TRACE0("Failed to create outlook bar.");

return FALSE;

}

3.- Add two folders to the Outlook Bar:

(inside OnInitDialog() for example)

int iFolder;

iFolder = m_CtrlOutBar.AddFolder(_T("Folder 1"), 0);

iFolder = m_CtrlOutBar.AddFolder(_T("Folder 2"), 1);

// Set the default font used by the outlook bar.

m_CtrlOutBar.SetFontX(&XTAuxData().font);

// We want to receive notification messages.

m_CtrlOutBar.SetOwner(this);

// Select the first folder in the bar.

m_CtrlOutBar.SetSelFolder(iFolder);

After that I get a dialog with one Outlook Bar Control inside containing two folders, one upside called "Folder 1" and the other at the bottom of the dialog labeled "Folder 2". The problem is that those folders don�t expand when you click onto any of them. They don�t switch between each other.

Does anyone know what is left?

Thanks.

Hello,

See our sample. You must catch OBN_XT_FOLDERCHANGE and return TRUE.

Actually I recommend you CXTPTaskPanel class as much more flexible.

CXTOutBarCtrl is quite obsolete.
