SUBMENU request C++ snipit to create a AddPopup(pSubMenu ) to Ribbion Panel

[Braxton08]

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// CPK Add popups here

// I'm trying to use AddButtonPopup in VC++, but I couldn't find any example code. The code below

// is converted from the sample given in visual basic, but I think the parameter obEnum, passed as

// const VARIANT &ObjectsEnumerator is not configured correctly. The VB code does this automatically.

// When I run this under the debugger it fails during the call to CreateObjectCollection.

// Can you point out what is wrong, or point me to sample code in VC++ that works?

/*CComPtr<ObjectCollection> pObCol;

VARIANT obEnum;

obEnum.vt=VT_DISPATCH;

//Create Collection object

VARIANT vopt;

VariantInit(&vopt);

V_VT(&vopt) = VT_ERROR;

vopt.scode = DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND;

　

　

hr = m_pApplication->TransientObjects->CreateObjectCollection(vopt,&pObCol);

if (FAILED(hr)) return hr;

CComPtr<ButtonDefinitionObject> pBut1;

hr=m_pCmd1->GetButtonDefinition(&pBut1);

if (FAILED(hr)) return hr;

hr=pObCol->Add(pBut1);

if (FAILED(hr)) return hr;

CComPtr<CommandControl> pPopup2DCtrl;

hr=pPartCustUIRibbonPanelCtrls->AddButtonPopup(pObCol, VARIANT_TRUE, VARIANT_TRUE,

CComBSTR(_T("Autodesk:ReverseEngineering:PopupPanel2D")), VARIANT_FALSE, &pPopup2DCtrl);

if (FAILED(hr)) return hr;

pPopup2DCtrl->DisplayedControl = pPopup2DCtrl->ControlDefinition;

*/ // Solution

//To create a popup menu it is necessary to start with CommandBar of kPopUpCommandBar type:

//UserInterfaceManager uiMgr = _application.UserInterfaceManager;

//m_pApplication->UserInterfaceManager;

Hi Braxton08 ,

I added some lines on the SDK sample <public documents>\Autodesk\Inventor 2015\SDK\DeveloperTools\Samples\VC++\AddIns\CustomUI, it works well. Hope it helps you to find the problem at your side.

CustomUIAddInServer.cpp: from line 364 - 406
