How to add combo box to toolbar in dialog?

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

   Hi,
     As I know, if my application is based on MDI or SDI, then I can add combo box to toolbar by implementing OnCreateControl like below

       if (lpCreateControl->nID == ID_EDIT_STATE 
             && pToolBar->GetBarID()        == IDR_MAINFRAME)
       {
          CXTPControlComboBox* pComboState = (CXTPControlComboBox*) 
          CXTPControlComboBox::CreateObject();
          pComboState->AddString(_T("Debug"));
          pComboState->AddString(_T("Release"));
          pComboState->AddString(_T("Configuration Manager"));
          pComboState->SetDropDownWidth(150); 
          lpCreateControl->pControl = pComboState;
          return TRUE;
      }

     Unfortunately, my application is based on dialog, I don't know how to 
add combo box to toolbar. Would any guy be so kind to help me? 
    Generally speaking, there is very few samples for dialog, it is realy a pity. For example, I would like to add tooltip for menu to statusbar in dialog, I also found no example in the samples. If anyone could give me some instruction, I would realy appreciate it.

	Hello, See DialogSample. All same methods can be used for DIalog. you can manually add Combo to toolbar you need: CXTPControlComboBox* pComboState = (CXTPControlComboBox*)toolbar.GetControls()->Add(xtpControlComboBox, Id); ...

	Thanks for your help. But I have some question else. 1. How can I add a CXTComboBoxEx instead of CXTPControlComboBox to the toolbar? For example, how can I add a address bar to toolbar in dialog. it seems that xtpControlComboBox don't present CXTComboBoxEx. So the follow code didn't work for this case. CXTComboBoxEx* pComboBox = (CXTComboBoxEx*) m_wndToolBar.GetControls()->Add(xtpControlComboBox, IDC_ADDRESSBAR, _T("Address"), 0, TRUE); 2. After I add combobox, if the focus is in combobox but mouse move over other toolbar button, there is no color effect on the button unless I remove focus from the combobox. Could you please teach me how to correct it? Thanks for your help in advance.
