When adding a CExtRadioButton (the first one) into a toolbar via:

    pToolBar->InsertButton(-1, ID_TOGGLE_REFERENCE, false);
    pToolBar->SetButtonCtrl(pToolBar->GetButtonsCount()-1, &pBar->m_buttonRef , true);

there seems to be a hang in the SetButtonCtrl call when a CExtBarButton::SetCheck() function gets called and causes a search for the next dialog group item (GetNextGroupItem). I’ve been able to use CExtButtons, and CExtCheckBoxes as substitutes, but would prefer to use 2 CExtRadioButtons in our toolbar.

Is there a way around this?

No. The CExtRadioButton class is HWND based UI item which is typically created as child of dialog window. The ProfAuto library does not work with dialog forms and does not access form controls. It just injects dockable bars into forms or provides access to dockable bars created inside MFC frame windows.

Excuse me, I meant the other class CExtBarRadioBoxButton. May I manage buttons of this class through ProfAuto?

No, radio button like looking toolbar buttons are not supported by ProfAuto. These buttons are very specific non-standard looking buttons which have no analog items in menus. They are currently supported by simple non-customizable toolbars only.

Hello, could these buttons be created implicitly through ProfAuto interfaces?

Regards! :-)

In v.2.60 was added a CExtBarRadioBoxButton class, which implements a radio box in a toolbar (see the figure below). So we would recommend you use this class instead of CExtRadioButton.
