How to apply menus (xp style) to dialog ?

Hi,

I want to apply office xp style menu to my dialog class.. So, how can i do that ? If i take code form the dialog, it gives error saying, GetCommandBars is not declared.. So, is there any sample of link from where i can find this.. ?

Oh.. again i was able to add teh static control to the statusbar.. but it comes on teh menu bar.. 

following is the code i wrote in initdialog function,

    m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneInfo(0, ID_SEPARATOR, SBPS_STRETCH, 100);

    int iIndex = m_wndStatusBar.GetPaneCount();
    m_wndStatusBar.AddIndicator(IDC_STATIC1, iIndex);

    int nIndex = m_wndStatusBar.CommandToIndex(IDC_STATIC1);
    ASSERT (nIndex != -1);
    m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneWidth(nIndex, 100);
    m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneStyle(nIndex, m_wndStatusBar.GetPaneStyle(nIndex) | SBPS_NOBORDERS);
    m_wndStatusBar.AddControl(&m_XPos, IDC_STATIC1, FALSE);

i took one static control made a control variable for that as m_XPos and it shows the static control on menu bar.. instaead of statusbar..

Please tell me what can be the problem.. I tried all teh things.. I debugged then found that PositionBars function called from addcontrol function gets some -18 value for my control as X value.. so, it calculates the value on its own and MoveWindow function moves my window to the menu bar as a result.

Thanks,

It helped me.. but still I am adding static control to the status bar..

Because i took code from the sample application, there it was Indicator.. If I change anything in the default struct of the indicator, my program doesnt work properly..

Like if I change,

static UINT indicators[] =
{
    ID_SEPARATOR,         ;   // status line indicator
    ID_INDICATOR_CAPS,
    ID_INDICATOR_NUM,
    ID_INDICATOR_SCRL,
};

to something like this,

static UINT indicators[] =
{
    ID_SEPARATOR,         ;   // status line indicator
    ID_MY_TEXT,
    ID_INDICATOR_CAPS,
    ID_INDICATOR_NUM,
    ID_INDICATOR_SCRL,
};

Program doesnt work properly so, I add my static control to the status bar and doint what i want... so, how can I add the items in the status bar ?

SetPaneText can be called only from thread created status bar,

but you can send some message like:

#deifne MY_TEXT_CHANGED (WM_APP + 2)

pDlg->SendMessage(MY_TEXT_CHANGED);

 

and in CAppGUIDlg  catch it and set status text.
