Command Bar Customization

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

   I want to enable customization for button bars but not for the main menu bar. I add customization as described in the documentation, and call EnableCustomization(FALSE) for the menu bar. This correctly stops the menu bar from being customized. However, the LoadCommandBars / SaveCommandBars routines still load and save data for the menu bar. This causes me many problems eg if I add a menu item to my menu bar (before converting from a CMenu), the new command does not appear. I also change the text at run-time (to allow for different languages) and the new text does not appear. I know I can get around it by deleting the file written by SaveCommandBars, but that loses the button bar customization - I do not want our users to lose their button bar customization whenever we add a new command or when they change the language.
Can LoadCommandBars / SaveCommandBars be made to stop doing this, either by myself or you?
I am using XTreme Suite 8.61
Regards
David

	Thanks Oleg, I have downloaded 8.70 but it does not fix my problem. I disable customization for the menu bar, but I make changes to it in my code, for example changing the language of the menu items. GenerateCommandBarList sees that the menu bar has changed so saves it anyway. This is not what I want. Is there a way around this? David

	OK, do I have do fix this myself??? I assume I can edit the source code and recompile the library, but then I have to remember to do this every time I get an update. What possible reason is there for writing a complete menu bar to a file when customization is disabled? David
