Hello,

Upon your previous help (about saving the docking panes layout to the registry), we tried to do the same using the CXTPCommandBars.

Here is our code :

BOOL CMainFrame::LoadOrSaveCommandBarsLayout(BOOL bLoad, CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars, CString sLayoutName)
{
     if (pCommandBars)
     {
          ASSERT(!sLayoutName.IsEmpty());

          HKEY hKey = GetRegistryLayoutKey();
          ASSERT(hKey);
          if (hKey)
          {
               XTP_COMMANDBARS_PROPEXCHANGE_PARAM stParams;
               ::memset(&stParams, 0, sizeof(stParams));
               stParams.bSerializeControls = FALSE;
               stParams.bSaveOnlyCustomized = FALSE;
               stParams.bLoadSilent = FALSE;
               stParams.bSaveOriginalControls = FALSE;
               stParams.bSerializeImages = FALSE;
               stParams.bSerializeOptions = FALSE;
               stParams.bSerializeLayout = TRUE;
               stParams.bSerializeDesignerControls = FALSE;
               stParams.bSerializeActions = FALSE;
               stParams.pCommandBars = pCommandBars;

               CXTPPropExchangeRegistry px(bLoad, hKey, sLayoutName);
               pCommandBars->DoPropExchange(&px, &stParams);
               RegCloseKey(hKey);

               return TRUE;
          }
     }

return FALSE;
}

The "hkey" is valid. But nothing is saved in the registry.

One more time, we hope that you will help us !

Regards,

Hi,

Actually code looks good. Try to debug into DoPropExchange and check if

"if (pParam->bSerializeLayout)" block was exectuted.

Hi,

Ok, here are the results :

-------------------------------------

This method is executed :
void CXTPCommandBars::DoPropExchange(CXTPPropExchange* pPX, XTP_COMMANDBARS_PROPEXCHANGE_PARAM* pParam)

This bloc is executed :
if (pParam->bSerializeLayout)
{
     GetDockState(state);
     CXTPPropExchangeSection secLayout(pPX->GetSection(_T("Layout")));
     state.DoPropExchange(&secLayout);
     SerializeDockBarsState(&secLayout);
}

Contents infos :
state.m_arrBarInfo.m_nSize = 0

This bloc is executed :
void CXTPCommandBars::GetDockState(CXTPDockState& state)

Contents infos :

GetCount() = 3
pInfo... = valid pointers and valid toolbars pointers

This bloc is executed :
void CXTPDockState::DoPropExchange(CXTPPropExchange* pPX)

Contents infos :

nCount = 3
for(...) :

This bloc is executed :

This bloc is executed :

          dwID = 0
      end of 2nd for(...)
      nCount = 5

      for(...) :
          strDockBarSection = "Id0" and pBar = NULL for the first
                              "Id1"            CXTPMenuBar for the 2nd
                              "..."            NULL for the 3rd
                                               CXTPToolBar for the 4th
                                               NULL for the 5th

Hello,

Again seems right.

so problem can be only in registry settings. May be hKey you get only "readonly"/may be sLayoutName contains symbols that can't be used as registry key ("\"."/". etc)

try again step into one of PX_,,,, and to CXTPPropExchangeRegistry::ExchangeProp and check what result of RegSetValueEx was.

Hi,

We set :

::RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sKeyName, 0, NULL, REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, NULL, &hKeyLayout, NULL);

sLayoutName = "AppMainFrame"

In the registry we now see :

Layout

DockBars

DockBar0

DockBar1

DockBar2

DockBar3

DockState

Each key is empty, there is just a "(default) REG_SZ (value not set)" per key.

Monday, we will step into your second answer.

Hi,

I stepped into the first PX_DWord(&secDockState, _T("Version"), m_dwVersion, 0).

This portion of code :

   void CXTPDockState::DoPropExchange(CXTPPropExchange* pPX)
   {
      CXTPPropExchangeSection secDockState(pPX->GetSection(_T("DockState")));
      // read/write version info
      if (pPX->IsStoring())
      {
         PX_DWord(&secDockState, _T("Version"), m_dwVersion, 0); ==========> Then stepped into this method :

   BOOL CXTPPropExchangeRegistry::ExchangeProp(LPCTSTR pszPropName, VARTYPE vtProp,
      void* pvProp, const void* pvDefault /*= NULL*/)
   {
      ...
      m_bUseDefaultOnSave = 1
      ...

         case VT_BOOL:
         {
            DWORD dwValue = 0;
            CopyPropValue(vtProp, &dwValue, pvProp);
            lResult=0 = RegSetValueEx(m_hSectionKey=0xa64, pszPropName="Version", NULL, REG_DWORD, (LPBYTE)&dwValue=18, sizeof(DWORD));
         }
         break;

Perhaps the m_hSectionKey doesn't point to the correct registry key ?

There isn't any "ScreenSize" in the registry.

( "ScreenSize" is easier to find than "Version" in the registry. )

Hi,

Sergio, try to find some minutes to modify our sample and try reproduce the problem with same code. If sample will fail also, attach changed code here and we will quickly find reason.

It is impossible to say why without ability to debug/check what you do in code.

Hi Oleg,

Could you please give me the name of the sample to modify ?

Thanks,
