In my old MFC application, I have some code to associate the toolbars with menu items, which means, once you click the corresponding menu item, the associate toolbar will display or disappear. It's so strange, when I reskin my first MFC application, and add some CXTPToolbar, it do automatically add corresponding menu items in View Menu. But for the second application I am doing, it never works. Please help me.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Just add item with standard ID_VIEW_TOOLBAR id, CommandBars will automatically build list of toolbars.

Hi, I got a little bit confused. I add toolbar like this way:

m_wndExpressBar = (CXTPToolBar*)
        pCommandBars->Add(_T("Express"), xtpBarTop);
    if (!m_wndExpressBar || !m_wndExpressBar->LoadToolBar(IDR_EXPRESSTOOLS))
    {
        TRACE0("Failed to create express toolbar\n");
        return -1;
    }

IDR_EXPRESSTOOLS is resourceID for toolbar. And there is a menu resource ID - IDW_EXPRESSTOOLS which will accociate with IDR_EXPRESSTOOLS. Where I can put IDW_EXPRESSTOOLS when I add toolbar.

Thanks
