Also, we decided on a sort of hybrid system. It’s not totally CAB. For instance, for my menu buttons, I use the described system above to inject the buttons. BUT, I use a regular .net event to handle the clicks. The reason for this is that clicking a button in a view for me, is most of the time a thing I will be handling in the current view. Afterall, the menu class is a menu for this view. For the times when I need my button to fire a CAB event for another module (or view), I just fire off the event within my local event. I find that this model give me a lot of flexability, and I dont have to worry about CAB events for local view eventing.

“The event has to be public”

With regard to this sort of work I would definitely be interested in seeing any other examples you have on DotNetBar -> CAB integration. In particular I am wondering how to integrate the docking manager to CAB (I believe Telerik provides some examples on Raddock to CAB so surely it can’t be that different)

I tried your sample with VSTS2008 and SP1, but didn’t work because SCSF needs to be fixed.
This issue can be found with keywords “BUG SCSF – April 2008 with VS2008 + SP1 Beta Known Issues”.

After I fix my SCSF Guidance Package, I did your tutorial, but I can’t solve the follow errors:

Can you give me a help in it?

Thanks in advance,

Looks like my copy paste of the method signature was ruined by WordPress, replace the square brackets with greater than less than signs (ButtonX goes in as the generic type):

public class buttonXEventCommandAdapter : EventCommandAdapter[ButtonX]
{
...

In your ShellApplication.cs file add the following into the AfterShellCreated()
RegisterCommandServices();

Then create that method as follows:
private void RegisterCommandServices()
{
ICommandAdapterMapService mapService = RootWorkItem.Services.Get();
mapService.Register(typeof(ButtonX), typeof(buttonXEventCommandAdapter));

}

Then just create a buttonXEventCommandAdapter class like so:
public class buttonXEventCommandAdapter : EventCommandAdapter
{
public buttonXEventCommandAdapter()
: base()
{
}

public buttonXEventCommandAdapter(ButtonX item, string eventName)
: base(item, eventName)
{
}

protected override void OnCommandChanged(Command command)
{
base.OnCommandChanged(command);
}
}

Then just use the ButtonX like so:
WorkItem.Commands["myButtonX_Click"].AddInvoker(exitButton, “Click”);

Not sure if I missed anything, this was just off the top of my head and some quick cut/paste samples.

Let me know.

However im having some problems using buttonX items on a view to use CAB´s commandhandlers to handle events when the button is clicked.
Im guessing the Workitem.Commands.addInvoker method cant handle buttonX objects but i might be wrong?

Any workaround?
