BCGControlBar Pro for MFC
CBCGPToolbarButton

Detailed Description

CBCGPToolbarButton objects are non-Windows controls that reside on toolbars. Their behavior is similar to the regular buttons and they can be assigned an image and a text label. In addition, a toolbar button can have a command ID. This command is executed when the user clicks the button.

The CBCGPToolbarButton class can serve as a base class for more complicated toolbar button objects, like "menu button", "edit box button" or "combo box button".

Usually, toolbar buttons can be customized, the user is able to drag them from one toolbar to another, copy, paste, delete, edit text labels and images. If you want to make a toolbar button non-editable, you can lock the button or "protect" the button's command ID (SetProtectedCommands()).

The CBCGPToolbarButton objects display images from collections of toolbar images (CBCGPToolBarImages). These collections are maintained by a parent toolbar object (CBCGPToolBar). The parent toolbar manages an internal collection of toolbar buttons and notifies them about the user input.

When the user clicks a toolbar button:

  • its parent toolbar processes the message
  • changes the button's state
  • asks the button to redraw itself according to the new state
  • gives the button a chance to process this click
  • notifies the parent frame window about a command to be executed, if the button has a valid command ID
