I’m using ProfUIS 2.70, Visual Studion 6.0 and Windows XP Sp2.

I’m trying to create a dialog-based application, similar to the ProfUIS Controls example, with a menu bar and toolbar. I’ve inserted custom controls for the two bars as per the ’Getting Started’ article. I’ve created a menu and toolbar resource and loaded them as below and called the RepositionBars method at the bottom of InitDialog. When I run (MBCS debug) the two bars aren’t displayed. I’ve included snippets of code below.

Include file:

    CExtMenuControlBar m_wndMenuBar ;
    CExtToolControlBar m_wndToolBar ;

CPP file: OnInitDialog
    VERIFY( CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::OnInitDialog() );


BOOL CTestBathMatDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
    VERIFY( CExtNCW < CExtResizableDialog >::OnInitDialog() );

    ASSERT( m_wndMenuBar.GetSafeHwnd() != NULL );
    if(    ! m_wndMenuBar.LoadMenuBar( IDR_MENU_FOR_MY_MENUBAR )) {
        ASSERT( FALSE );
        return FALSE;
    }
    m_wndMenuBar.SetBarStyle( m_wndMenuBar.GetBarStyle() & ~CBRS_GRIPPER );

    ASSERT( m_wndToolBar.GetSafeHwnd() != NULL );
    if(    ! m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR_FOR_MY_TOOLBAR)) {
        ASSERT( FALSE );
        return FALSE;
    }
    m_wndToolBar.SetBarStyle( m_wndToolBar.GetBarStyle() & ~CBRS_GRIPPER );

.

.

    // TODO: Add extra initialization here
    CWnd::RepositionBars( 0, 0xFFFF, 0 );

    return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}

I’m sure I’m doing something stupid but can’t see it. Any help please.

Do you have DDX entries added for the menu bar and toolbar?
