Hemesh,

Let me know if this works for you? This is how I have got the MDI ~~Ribbon~~ to work since I worked with Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) v10.4.0 so hopefully this will fix the issue for you.

My bad, this was specifically for a MDI application that does not use the Ribbon Bar. It appears that the Ribbon Bar sample works differently and that it creates the illusion of having MDI menus by hiding/showing the menus based on the ActiveForm count.

Thanks Xander, I'll try that and see what happens later tonight. They do that in the sample application whereby they set the DocID in the GetDocumentID() event to get this to work, but if you've successfully done this via the HelpContextID, it might be a CJ Bug that it's not getting set correctly.

Hi Hemesh,

I am not sure if this will help or not but I had a problem getting the MDI Ribbon to work correctly a long while back. To resolve this I did the following:


    Dim MDIMenu As MenuBarMDIMenu
    
    ' The number "100" must be set in the Child form "HelpContextID" for the MDI Menu to work
    Set MDIMenu = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.MDIMenus.Add(100, "Document", "Document")

Above is the code I use for working with the MDI Ribbon, basically you need to set the child forms to have the same ID in the the forms "HelpContextID" as that of the ID you specify in the line of code above i.e. "100".

Hi,

After succesfully implementing the normal MDI Menu structure, i'm now looking to make use of the Ribbon Bar.

As soon as I set this up though, The menu's don't switch to the correct MDI Menu even though the correct IDs are getting set through code like before. Is this an issue with the RibbonBar???
