Hi,

What is the equivalent code for this statement in the CommandBar
m_pMainWnd->GetMenu();
because it returns NULL in my application. Please help.

Hi,

There is no HMENU in CommandBars.

use GetCommandBars()->GetMenuBar() to get pointer to menubar. but its not CMenu.

Hi Ashok,

You are not the first one who ask about this. Maybe Codejock guys have to consider making a solution for this.

I also had the same problem and had to patch CXTPCommandBar and CXTPMenuBar a little bit. I've made it in this way because I did not want to change handling of menus in my application which was very complex due to exposing an object model via COM and based on old version of XtremeToolkit where GetMenu worked.

In XTPCommandBar.h I added member

HMENU m_hLoadedMenu;

In XTPCommandBar.cpp I added before return

BOOL CXTPCommandBar::LoadMenu(CMenu* pMenu, BOOL bRemoveControls)

{

�

// ----

if (bRemoveControls) m_hLoadedMenu=pMenu->m_hMenu;

// ----

return TRUE;

}

In XTPMenuBar.h I just defined method

CMenu* GetMenu( ) const;

And added the implementation in XTPMenuBar.cpp

CMenu* CXTPMenuBar::GetMenu() const

{

return CMenu::FromHandle(m_hLoadedMenu);

}

So, now I can acces loaded menu via GetCommandBars()->GetMenuBar()->GetMenu() and it works fine for me but I have to pach it in each new version of XTP. Of course this is not a universal method but at least it works in case of loading menus from recourses.

Best regards, Mikhail

Hi, I understand that all your commandbar samples are having MDI Menu. My problem is when ever there is a MDIActive(means window list will have Data1,Page1etc.,),I have to set my full menu, if there is nothing in the window list(means if i closed all my active view) I have to set another menu. Please help.

Hello,

Yes and our samples show it. Seriously 120 messages and you have no idea what CommandBars can do. Please check all samples and try to understand how they work.
