Hi,

I know VFP is not actively supported but I find XTreeeeeeme CommandBars being a great product and I would really like to make use of it. I am comming from ActiveBar - so I have managed a LOT of problems already ;-)

So currently I am playing with Your Commandbars (tried DockingPanes this morning and had about the same problem) and try to show a form with VFP-Controls as a custom-Control. I found the "Dynamic Popup Sample" that does something like that.

so in the InitCommandsPopup i now have:

...

if CommandBar.Title = "FORM"

CommandBar.Controls.DeleteAll

do form MyForm.scx noShow

m.MyForm.TitleBar = 0

m.MyForm.BorderStyle = 0

loControl = CommandBar.Controls.Add(7, 0, "Form")

loControl.Handle = m.MyForm.hWnd

m.MyForm.Visible = .T.

endif

Works wonderful, but the form is dead, i.e. I can't make use of the controls. With the DockingPane it sometimes worked, sometimes not

Maybe You have an Idea or a trick.

Another Idea I used with ActiveBar was to cancel the actual population of the popup and position a form instead of a popup. But I found no way to cancel the appearance from within InitCommandsPopup()

(ActiveBar did have a BandOpen()-Event that was fired when clicking on the down-button. this event also provided a Cancel-parameter.

Thanks in advance
