Hi,

  I have a toolbar that include a CExtComboBox control. When the bar is reduce, we can access invisible button from the chevron menu. But, is there a way to show the combo box in that menu instead of a regular command button that send a message with my control’s id?

Tanks

Please take a look at the StyleEditor sample. It demonstrates combo boxes both in toolbars and menus. If you decrease the size of a docked toolbar, then you can find the hidden combo boxes in the pop-up menu dropped from the chevron button. Besides, you can find combo boxes in the menu bar’s pop-up menus. All the combo boxes of one type are synchronized between each other that is provided by Prof-UIS automatically, i.e. if you change value of the font name combo box in menu bar’s menu, you will see the same value in the toolbar’s combo box. The secret is simple: there are no combo boxes at all in this sample application. In fact, these combo-box-like controls are built-in combo-fields provides by the Prof-UIS customization system and they are available in the customizable applications only. If you want to see combo boxes in Prof-UIS menus, then you have to make your application customizable. Please take a closer look at the StyleEditor sample, read the Prof-UIS Customization Subsystem article and contact us for details.
