I have a toolbar embedded in a CExtResizable dialog that is the child of a CExtControlBar.  Unfortunately the OnUpdateCmdUI functions for the buttons on that toolbar do not seem to be called when the mouse isn’t over the control bar. 


I have tried handling WM_UPDATECMDUI in the mainframe and passing the message on to the control bar, but it doesn’t help.  Can you help?

The command updating for toolbar buttons inside the dialog is performed by the following static method:

CExtControlBar::DoCustomModeUpdateControlBars( pDialog );
It is invoked only from the CExtResizableDialog::WindowProc() method and this explains mouse event dependency. You can invoke this method from your code when appropriate.
