CXTPCommandBar::LoadMenu Causing crash

Hi Everyone,

I'm getting a crash in our program when we run CXTPCommandBar::LoadMenu.  The problem appears to be caused by the m_pControls, which is set to NULL at that time.

The LoadMenu function is being called because we are adding additional items (at runtime) to our CXTPPopupBar.  Does anyone know what the problem might be? 

I've also noticed that there was a similar post about this here on the forums, does anyone know what the result of that was?

Hi Oleg,

Thanks for replying to my post, I've been trying to replicate this in a simple program or using one of your sample applications but I've been having a bit of a problem replicating it.

Basically what we are doing is using a LoadMenu() function on a CXTPPopupBar* pointer that was created as follows:

m_pLayoutsPopupBar =
CXTPPopupBar::CreatePopupBar(GetCommandBars());

m_pLayoutsPopupBar->LoadMenu(&TempMenu,TRUE);

CXTPControls* pControls =
m_pLayoutsPopupBar->GetControls();
    if
((pControls)
       
&&(AfxIsValidAddress(pControls
       
    , sizeof(CXTPControls), FALSE)))

Hi Oleg,

Thats interesting, so we shouldn't be storing m_pLayoutsPopupBar? 

How then should we be reloading the menu when we need to?  As explained above when the user wants to save a layout, we re-create the menu (with the new addition) and then load it into m_pLayoutsPopupBar.  If we don't keep a pointer to m_pLayoutsPopupBar, how do we load our new menu?

Also what do we do about freeing the memory used to create m_pLayoutsPopupBar?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

I guess you can catch

ON_XTP_INITCOMMANDSPOPUP()

void CMainFrame::OnInitCommandsPopup(CXTPPopupBar* pCommandBar)
{

if ThisIsMyPopup(pCommandBar )
{

   pCommandBar->LoadMenu(&TempMenu,TRUE);

}

}

it will update menu before user popup it.
