Upgrading Toolkit Standard to Toolkit Pro - Add intelligent menus

Add array of Ids that seem not very important for user.

static UINT uHideCmds[] =
{
    ID_FILE_PRINT, ID_FILE_PRINT_PREVIEW, ID_WINDOW_CASCADE
};

Add to the CMainFrame::OnCreate Intelligent menu initialization:

// Hide array of commands
pCommandBars->HideCommands(uHideCmds, _countof(uHideCmds));

// Set "Always Show Full Menus"; option to the FALSE
XTP_COMMANDBARS_OPTIONS* pOptions = pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions();
pOptions->bAlwaysShowFullMenus = FALSE;

Add LoadCommandBars(_T("CommandBars")); to the OnCreate function for CMainFrame. This will restore the previous state of your toolbar and menus plus any customization made.

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
    ...

    // Load the previous state for toolbars and menus.
    LoadCommandBars(_T("CommandBars"));

    return 0;
}

Add the OnClose message handler to CMainFrame and add SaveCommandBars(_T("CommandBars")); before the call to the base class. This will save the user's used commands.

void CMainFrame::OnClose()
{
    // Save the current state for toolbars and menus.
    SaveCommandBars(_T("CommandBars"));
    CMDIFrameWnd::OnClose();
}
