One IUIX_Cmd for two IUIX_CmdItems - different title / tip ? SOLVED

[zarkogajic]

Hi support,

I'm creating a custom command, IUIX_Cmd, and adding it twice to my custom bar - so two IUIX_CmdItem are placed on the bar.

Can I somehow specify different title for different CmdItem?

p.s.
Yes, the command will do the same thing in both cases when executed, but the context between first item and second item is different - that's why I need those two items to display different titles.

p.s.2
Ok, ok, I'll admit, those two items are not actually on the same bar, each cmdItem goes to a different instance of IPXV_Control (hence "context" above).

p.s.3
Yes, I know (read: fear) the answer is 99.99% "no" - but you never know in this day and age

Hello zarkogajic,

Well, luckily for you, there is a way of doing that
You will have to use the IUIX_CmdHandler2 interface though in place of the IUIX_CmdHandler.
The https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... Appearance method should give the needed index of the appearance based on your needs. Basically it's called on the CommandItem update (redraw, creation or manual refresh by code).
Then there are a bunch of the command's methods and properties that need to be SET for appearance usage:

Code: Select all

HRESULT AddNewAppearance([in, defaultvalue(0)] LONG nSrcAppIndex, [out, retval] LONG* nNewAppIndex);

	HRESULT SetTitle(LONG nAppIndex, BSTR sTitle, [in, defaultvalue(-1)] VARIANT_BOOL bUpdateItems);
	HRESULT SetShortTitle(LONG nAppIndex, BSTR sShortTitle, [in, defaultvalue(-1)] VARIANT_BOOL bUpdateItems);
	HRESULT SetTip(LONG nAppIndex, BSTR sTip, [in, defaultvalue(-1)] VARIANT_BOOL bUpdateItems);
	HRESULT SetIcon(LONG nAppIndex, IUIX_Icon* pIcon, [in, defaultvalue(-1)] VARIANT_BOOL bUpdateItems);
	HRESULT SetUserData(LONG nAppIndex, PARAM_T nData, [in, defaultvalue(-1)] VARIANT_BOOL bUpdateItems);

Cheers,
Alex
