I have one class derived from CToolBar.

i am creating an object of that class using "new" wherein i create toolbar using CreateEx method.

Afterward i insert a button into it using

CToolBarCtrl *ctoolbarctrl = NULL;

ctoolbarctrl = &(this->GetToolBarCtrl());

ctoolbarctrl->InsertButton

Now i want to relace this CToolBar class with CXTPCommandBar class

but problem with this is it doesnot support GetToolBarCtrl and some other methods.

Which class should i use instead CToolBar which will support CToolBArCtrl functionalities in my application and i will be able to create new toolbar and menubar.

Hello,

See our samples.

We don't have toolbars that support CToolBarCtrl - we create all toolbars from CWnd.

thanks for your quick response

In the example i saw code something like this

CXTPToolBar* pToolBar = (CXTPToolBar*)pCommandBars->Add(str,xtpBarTop);

if (!pToolBar1 || !pToolBar1->LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME))

{TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");

return ;

}

Here IDR_MAINFRAME is the toolbar id which contains the require buttons.

In my application i am inserting the buttoninfo run time one button at a time .How to support such arrangement.

Could you suggest the example name.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Try this:

pToolBar->GetControls()->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_EDIT_COPY);

see methods of CXTPControls class.

wndStatubar.GetPane(i)->SetTooltip(..);

to set icons call pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(...);
