Visual Studio/Office 97 style Dockable Menu bar

[Jerry Tucker]

I have created an MDI project and incorporated the classes supplied in the article "Visual Studio/Office 97 style Flat Toolbar and Dockable Menu bar" and the main menu does not appear. The popup menues are accessable via the keyboard shortcuts but the menu is gone. I believe I have made all the proper modifications stated in the article. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

My email address was typed wrong. Not only don't I be able to use the code ...I can't seem to spell either!

Several people have had this problem - basically I forgot to mention you need the latest commctrl.h from Microsoft, which contains all the definitions for the new toolbars.


At least one person has failed to get the code to work on Chinese windows - this may be a DBCS character set problem, but since I only have vanilla english versions installed I can't really check this.


My home page has the latest version of the code (with a couple of bug fixes), a link to the commctrl.h and an example app.

I does not use Dockable menu, I don't think it's need, why do we need a dockable

menu?! it's all M$ fool stuff, dockable menubar is a stupid idea.


in DBCS system, when you Load a menu, should use WideCharToMultiByteChar to

translate UNICODE to DBCS, WIN32 store resource in UNICODE format, but display

it in 8-bits char mode(all ANSI style API).

Too many bugs in the original code. Anyone know where is the best? From Microsoft? How to "steal" it? Otherwise, I'll try to do this when I'm free to make it better than MS developing guys'!
