Using Ribbon in a dialog

CXTPDialogBase<CXTResizeDialog>

in OnInitDialog create your commandbars

// Initialize the command bars
	if(!InitCommandBars())
	{
		return -1;
	}	
 
	// Get a pointer to the command bars object.
	CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
	if(pCommandBars == NULL)
	{		
		return -1;      // fail to create
	}
 
	
 then create your ribbon:

CXTPRibbonBar* pRibbonBar = (CXTPRibbonBar*)pCommandBars->Add(_T(""), xtpBarTop, RUNTIME_CLASS(CXTPRibbonBar));
 
	if (!pRibbonBar)
	{		
		return FALSE;
	}

	pRibbonBar->EnableDocking(0);
	pRibbonBar->EnableCustomization(FALSE);
...
 
	CXTPRibbonTab* pTabBase = pRibbonBar->AddTab( CMfxString(IDS_RIBBON_START) );
... 

you will nedd a helper
