I am converting an MFC application to use Codejock's ribbon bars. The application dynamically adds menu items at startup as it loads plug-ins. Out old code would store away the MainFrame's CMenu* on startup and then call pMenu->InsertMenu to insert items.
With a CXTPMDIFrameWnd derived frame window I have a problem, GetMenu() no longer returns the Window's menu so I have to dig a little deeper:
CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars=CGatanApp::GetGatanMainFrame()->GetCommandBars();
_ASSERTE(pCommandBars);
CXTPMenuBar* pMenuBar=pCommandBars->GetMenuBar();
_ASSERTE(pMenuBar);
At this point I'm stuck. Can I somehow extract a CMenu from CXTPMenuBar? It doesn't look like it. How do I insert a menu into the existing menu?
Thanks. |

Hello,
You need convert your old code to new. Something like:
pMenuBar->GetControls()->Add(xtpControlButton, ID); ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Oleg,
Please elucidate, your answer really doesn't help me very much. I need to insert a menu item not add a button.
Thanks.

Of course I have looked at the samples.
I asked how to insert a menu and you told me how to add button. I'm just looking for a little help.
