Ok I have the following code:

CXTPControlPopup *pControlPopup = (CXTPControlPopup *)pRibbonGroup->Add( xtpControlPopup, ID_FORMAT_ADDCUSTOM );
pControlPopup->SetBeginGroup( TRUE );

m_AddCustomDlg.Create( MAKEINTRESOURCE( CAddCustomDlg::IDD ), this );

CXTPControlCustom *pControlCustom = CXTPControlCustom::CreateControlCustom( &m_AddCustomDlg );

however how do I then attach this custom control to the xtpControlPopup so that when I click thispopup button it shows my dialog ??

Thanks, any help appreciated

I would also be very interested in a working example so that pressing a toolbar button brings up my own dialog just below the button I pressed.

The following code adds a dialog to a popup button:

CXTPControlPopup *pControlPopup = (CXTPControlPopup *)pRibbonGroup->Add( xtpControlPopup, ID_BUTTON );

m_CustomDlg.Create( MAKEINTRESOURCE( CCustomDlg::IDD ), this );

CXTPControlCustom *pControlCustom = CXTPControlCustom::CreateControlCustom( &m_CustomDlg );

(CXTPControlCustom *)pControlPopup->GetCommandBar()->GetControls()->Add( pControlCustom );

Any further questions please let me know

only problem I am experiencing is that when I click a button, eg. CANCEL and then close the dialog, it does not close ?

i can close it by clicking outside the area, if you find solutioin please let me know.

Please cut and paste your dialog resource from the .rc file - will be interesting....

Its just a standard dialog with an IDOK and IDCANCEL button, I then override OnCancel and OnOk

Normally these would then close the dialog, however for some reason the dialog closes but leaves a blank dialog lol :(

Yes, you have manually close popup (why it have close automatically?)

override OnOK and OnCancel and call

XTPMouseManager()->SendTrackLost();

Excellent, worked perfect :)

Thanks for continued great support.

Also off subject of this topic but is there a way of detecting if a ribbon was minimized/restored as we need to detect this to rebuild our workspace

Again, thanks for all the great support

rather than poll pRibbonBar->IsRibbonMinimized every x frames, is there not a windows message I can use instead to say the ribbons changed state

Hello,

No, sorry, there is no message. You can change source code, make SetRibbonMinimized method virtual and override it in your custom Ribbon class. We will make it virtual too for next releases.

Excellent as I am sure many other users would find SetRibbonMinimized() as a virtual function much better.

I have made the changes here and look forward to changes in next version.

Hi,

you also need

1. To add

DECLARE_XTP_COMMANDBAR(CMyXTPRibbonBar )
IMPLEMENT_XTP_COMMANDBAR(CMyXTPRibbonBar, CXTPRibbonBar) macros

CMyXTPRibbonBar * pRibbonBar = (CXTPRibbonBar*)pCommandBars->Add(_T("The Ribbon"), xtpBarTop, RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyXTPRibbonBar ));

Also we have noticed that:

ShowQuickAccess( BOOL bShow )

and

ShowQuickAccessBelowRibbon( BOOL bBelow )

should both really also be virtual as this allows to detect other situations that can change the size of the workspace view area etc.
