How to subclass controls from CommandBarDesigner?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi!If I create my ribbon bars in the command bar designer and add, for example a combo box, how can I later subclass that to my inherited CXTPControlComboBox? Usually I do that in OnCreateControl, but that's not called for controls created in the command bar designer.

So what is the correct/nice way to do it?

This is how it was done before in OnCreateControl:
if (lpCreateControl->nID == ID_MY_CUSTOM_COMBO_BOX)
{
      lpCreateControl->pControl = new MyCustomComboBox();
      return TRUE;
 }

Thanks!

	Hi, Yes, when you load it from designer OncreateControl won't be called beacause all controls already created in designer. so you can use CXTPControls::FindControl method, remove old and add new with CXTPControls::Add method.
