I really need to subclass the CXTPRibbonTab and CXTPRibbonGroup classes and have the ribbon bar create my tab class and the tab class can create my group class. But I am having to copy a lot of code simply because unlike the ribbon bar, CJ doesn't let me specify the class for a tab and/or group.

And when copying code, all the "protected" members are a big road block that causes me to have to pull in more and more code and classes.

All this because of hard coded calls to the new operator when a tab or groups is created in non virtual methods.

Has anyone else sub classed the tab and/or groups? If so, what approach did you take?
