In Internet Explorer 4.0 Microsoft made some cool looking menu. When I use Spy ++ it
shows that this is just toolbar inside rebar. I made some searches but I didn’t found
anything like that on codeguru sites.
So I made it myself.
I used Luis Barreira Classes for new IE4 controls
to get CRebar.
There are two main points of this solution:
First is creating buttons based on menu resource IDR_MAINFRAME, this fragment is from
CMainFrame OnCreate:
//create toolbar buttons based on menu (IDR_MAINFRAME) TBBUTTON button; CString strItem; CMenu mTopMenu; mTopMenu.LoadMenu(IDR_MAINFRAME); UINT iPos; for (iPos = 0; iPos
Then handler for buttons, this handler is called by macro
ON_COMMAND_RANGE, ClassWizard did not support this so you must take it from my example or
read some in MSDN.
// handler to menu buttons
void CMainFrame::OnMenu(UINT nID)
{
CMenu m_mnuTopMenu;
CRect rWindow,rButton;
m_mnuTopMenu.LoadMenu(IDR_MAINFRAME);
UINT iPos;
for (iPos = 0; iPos TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN|TPM_LEFTBUTTON|TPM_VERTICAL,rWindow.left,rWindow.top,this);
m_wndMenuBar.GetToolBarCtrl().SetState(iPos+1,TBSTATE_ENABLED);
break;
}
}
}
That's it.
In this moment this solution don't support accelerators to button.
