Hi, I am currently evaluating Xtreme Command Bars with a view to using in our product. I have one requirement which I can't see how to do, that is to add a new menu to the menu bar, for example, to add a menu called Add-Ins between the Edit and View menus, I would then add menu items to this new empty menu. This could happen at any time while the product is running, and should not require the menu to be pulled down, so using OnInitCommandsPopup is not really an option. Regards, David Licom Systems Ltd

I have only used the ActiveX version, but I belive MFC has all of the
features of ActiveX and more. I think you could create all of the
menubar items like you normally do, but add every menubar item that
your application will ever use. Now hide the menubar items that
you do not want to see when the application starts. You can then
hide/unhide specific menubar controls. So add them in the order
you will eventually want them in. For example, your menu starts
out with File, Edit, Views, Help. When you create the menu you
create File, Edit, Views, Add-Ins, Tools, Window, Help. After the
menu is created, hide the Add-Ins, Tools, and Window controls.
When creating these menu controls you can use the same ideas the
Dynamic Popups sample uses, only for the menu control. In that
example you can add and delete button controls from the split button
popup without opening the menu. Can someone familiar with the MFC
version confirm this is possible? Hope this helps
