When I close the controlbar using the "X" (close) button, then by default it opens up... on ShowControlBar(SW_SHOW). This I dont want, I want the user to open it from a menu option only if the "X" has been pressed as that means that the user doesnt want the controlbar at all and not just hide it to resurface again....

Can I handle the "X" of a CExtToolControlBar. Please suggest as its very urgent.

Hi,

This is my current implementation. I want to call the OnNcAreaClicked() method when i close the control bar.

class CSaControlToolBar : public CExtToolControlBar
{
public:
// Construction
CSaControlToolBar();
virtual void OnNcAreaButtonsReinitialize()
{
     CExtToolControlBar::OnNcAreaButtonsReinitialize();
    
}
virtual CExtBarNcAreaButtonClose OnNcAreaClicked()
{
        AfxMessageBox("Hi");
        
        return NULL;
    }

};
Can you please help me regarding this.

This might work, though I didn’t try:

class CSaControlToolBar : public CExtToolControlBar
{
	class CSaBarNcAreaButtonClose : public CExtBarNcAreaButtonClose
	{
	public:
		CSaBarNcAreaButtonClose(CExtControlBar * pBar) : CExtBarNcAreaButtonClose( pBar ) {}
		virtual bool OnNcAreaClicked( CPoint point )
		{
			AfxMessageBox("Hi");
			return CExtBarNcAreaButtonClose::OnNcAreaClicked(point);
		}
	}; // class CSaBarNcAreaButtonClose
	virtual void OnNcAreaButtonsReinitialize()
	{
		ASSERT_VALID( this );
	INT nCountOfNcButtons = NcButtons_GetCount();
		if( nCountOfNcButtons > 0 )
			return;
		NcButtons_Add( new CSaBarNcAreaButtonClose(this) );
	#if (!defined __EXT_MFC_NO_TAB_CONTROLBARS)
		NcButtons_Add( new CExtBarNcAreaButtonAutoHide(this) );
	#endif
		NcButtons_Add( new CExtBarNcAreaButtonMenu(this) );
	}
}; // class CSaControlToolBar
