Hi,



Is there some trick to getting CMyRibbonBar::OnPopupListBoxInitContent() to be called back?  Although I can see that it is called in the ribbon MDI sample, it is not being called back in my own code, but I can’t spot the difference.



I add a drop-down to the ribbon bar like this:

    CExtCustomizeCmdTreeNode * node = new CExtRibbonNode(id);
    ...
    node->ModifyFlags(__ECTN_TBB_COMBO | __ECTN_TBB_TF_NE | __ECTN_TBB_RESIZABLE | __ECTN_TBB_TEXT_FIELD);
    group->InsertNode(NULL, node);

Anything I should look for?



Thanks,

Rob.

The thing which is absolutely number one any time and in any project too is to check the declaration of the virtual method which you are going to override:

   virtual bool OnPopupListBoxInitContent(
                        CExtBarButton * pTBB,
                        CExtCustomizeCmdTreeNode * pNode,
                        CListBox & wndListBox
                        );

The thing number two also happens very often: sometimes the compiler does not invoke virtual methods until you completely rebuild your project.

Neither of these things were the problem, but I figured it out.  It was because I also had OnPopupListBoxInitContent() defined in the CMainFrame, and that one got called instead of the one in the ribbon bar.

Thanks,

Rob.
