Hi Prof-UIS,

I’d like to know how to get a message from a control inserted in a Toolbar? I have put a combobox in a toolbar control, however, i do not know how to get the message everytime i change the sel on that combo box. I need some explanation. This also happend when i put a combobox into CExtToolControlBar.... please need your advice.

regards,

Hi Suhai,

Thank you so much for your help!...Your code is just work fine. I am testing the other control such as slider which is i just follow the implementation as in Prof-uis control project. For a suggestion, probably it would be better if a simple project example profided for novice programmer like me. But anyway thank you. Prof-uis toolkit is getting interesting :)

regards,

This is my code for this problem.
In MainFram.h:

class CToolBarCombo : public CExtComboBox
{
public:
	DECLARE_DYNAMIC( CToolBarCombo )
	CToolBarCombo();
	int SetCurSel(int nSelect);
	virtual ~CToolBarCombo();
protected:
	int iSelectedIndex;
	afx_msg void OnReflectCbnSelEndOK();
	DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
}; // class CToolBarCombo
...
class CMainFrame : public CMDIFrameWnd
{
...
protected:
	CToolBarCombo	m_wndComboInToolbar;
...
}

In MainFrm.cpp:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// CToolBarCombo
 
IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC( CToolBarCombo, CExtComboBox )
 
CToolBarCombo::CToolBarCombo()
	: iSelectedIndex(-1)
{
}

	//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CToolBarCombo)

END_MESSAGE_MAP()
 
int CToolBarCombo::SetCurSel( int nSelect )

	if ( nSelect != iSelectedIndex) {
		iSelectedIndex= nSelect;

	if (pFrame == NULL) return;
	pFrame->OnToolbarComboSelChanged(GetCurSel());
