Add a splitter popup button that doesn't disappear
Author: Kirk Stowell
Posted: November 16, 2004
Environment: Visual C++ MFC
If you have created a splitter popup button as shown below, it will disappear when the ‘Reset Toolbar’ button is clicked. pStandardBar->GetControls()->Add(xtpControlSplitButtonPopup, ID_BUTTON_POPUP); If you use Customizable toolbars you must avoid dynamic creation of controls. You must use the ‘Xtreme Control Sub classing’ technique. To add a splitter button do the following: 1. Add the button to your toolbar resource using the Visual Studio resource editor like so:  2. Using the resource editor, create a Popup menu with same command id as the toolbar button you just added. 3. Add the command handler ON_XTP_CREATECONTROL() to your CMainFrame message map. BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CFrameWnd) //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMainFrame) ... //}}AFX_MSG_MAP ON_XTP_CREATECONTROL() END_MESSAGE_MAP()
int CMainFrame::OnCreateControl(LPCREATECONTROLSTRUCT lpCreateControl) { if (lpCreateControl->bToolBar) { if (lpCreateControl->nID == ID_BUTTON_POPUP) { lpCreateControl->controlType = xtpControlSplitButtonPopup; return TRUE; } } return FALSE; } 4. Add the following line to your header file for CMainFrame: afx_msg int OnCreateControl(LPCREATECONTROLSTRUCT lpCreateControl); Application screen shot showing splitter popup button:  |
