Hi Oleg,

What is the best method for switching the menu's for MDI windows? IE where would you suggest I place the code and provide an example. I noticed the sample app's always deal with one menu for the application and don't deal with swapping the menus for different views. Actually, I would suggest you do this for the Visual Studio 7 app example. When the child window is closed, show how the menu would change the IDR_MAINFRAME.

Sorry, Paul. It's not implemented in current version.

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating XTP 8.51 using VC++ 6.0 and this non-support for switching MDI menus is nearly a show stopper

My MDI application has about 4 different document types and has to switch the mainframe menu according to the currently active MDI window.

Is there some work-around to stay with XTP?

Please wait ToolkitPro 8.60 it has some new functions for MDI menus.

Hi,

currently I'm switching menus "by hand" using the following approach:

     CMenu m
     m.Attach(newMenuHandle);
     m_pMenuBar->GetControls()-& gt;RemoveAll();
     for (int i = 0; i != m.GetMenuItemCount(); ++i)
     {
           m_pMenuBar->GetControls()->AddMenuItem(&m, i);
     }
     m.Detach();
     SetMenu(0);

As I do not need real MDI-automagic-switching it is working ok for me.

Bye,
    Andreas

Hil, I do this in my app:

void CMainFrame::ActivateXXXMenus()
{
if (m_nPreviousMenuBar != IDR_XXXMENU)
{

CXTPCommandBar* pMenuBar1 = GetCommandBars()->GetMenuBar();
if (pMenuBar1 == NULL) return;

pMenuBar1->SetSelected(-1);
  pMenuBar1->SetTitle("XXX Menu");
  pMenuBar1->GetControls()->RemoveAll();
  ((CXTPMenuBar*) pMenuBar1)->LoadMenuBar(IDR_XXXMENU);
  m_nPreviousMenuBar = IDR_XXXMENU;

...
