I have been able to create toolbars with ComboBoxes etc. and can populate them in Designer but I need to populate the ComboBox in code. Should be simple. Can anyone help?

Many thanks

Hello,

After you load designer file, find this combo:

CXTPControlComboBox* pCombo = (CXTPControlComboBox*)pCommandBars->FindControl(...);

and fill using pCombo->AddString method.

Oleg, I have it working partly. But I am unable to set in initial entry for the Combo Box. I get errors when using Methods that I would expect to work.

Thanks again for your help.

        Dim pCombo As CommandBarComboBox
        Set pCombo = CommandBars.DesignerControls.Find(, 1036)

            pCombo.AddItem ("Default")      'Works!
            pCombo.AddItem ("Profile1")     'Works!
            pCombo.AddItem ("Profile2")     'Works!
            pCombo.ListIndex = 1            'Method 'ListIndex' of object 'ICommandBarComboBox' failed

            'or
            pCombo.Text = "Default"         'Method 'Text' of object 'ICommandBarComboBox' failed
            Debug.Print pCombo.ListCount    'Works!

Hi,

you wrote in MFC forum, so I gave you MFC answer.

for ActiveX instead of CommandBars.DesignerControls.Find

use CommandBars.FindControl

Sorry for the confusion. I will try to be more careful in the future.

Now, how do I initialize the combo box with a selection. Nothing seems to be provided to do that. The box always comes up empty until somethng is selected via the mouse etc. I want it to come up with the entry that was there the last time the application was closed.

Many thanks

Hi,

So Combo.ListIndex Property doesn't work for you ?
