This was very useful for displaying Ribbons in a dialog.

But how do I remove/delete the Ribbon bar runtime from code in the dialog.

1) Using Remove on the Toolbar does not fully do the trick, since there still is an empty window/background in the ribbon area left?

2) SetVisible(FALSE) hides the toolbar but also leaves an empty window/background.

3) delete CommandBars is virtual and cannot be called

There is missing the opposite to InitCommandBars to fully remove the ribbon?

Hi!
Yes it works :-)

Have a look at:
Samples\CommandBars\DialogSample\DialogSampleDlg.cpp(197)

I can send you some snippets :-)

derive your dialog from

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

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- void CDlgMailNew::RepositionControls()//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- {	if (m_bInRepositionControls)		return; 	CRect rcClientStart;		GetClientRect(rcClientStart); 	if ((GetStyle() & WS_MINIMIZE) || (rcClientStart.IsRectEmpty()))		return; 	m_bInRepositionControls = TRUE; 	CRect rcClientNow;	RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST, 0, reposQuery, rcClientNow); 	CRect rcBorders(rcClientNow.left - rcClientStart.left, rcClientNow.top - rcClientStart.top,  rcClientStart.right - rcClientNow.right, 		rcClientStart.bottom - rcClientNow.bottom); 	if (rcBorders != m_rcBorders)	{				CPoint ptOffset(rcBorders.left - m_rcBorders.left, rcBorders.top - m_rcBorders.top);		CSize szOffset(rcBorders.left + rcBorders.right - m_rcBorders.left - m_rcBorders.right,			rcBorders.top + rcBorders.bottom - m_rcBorders.top - m_rcBorders.bottom); 		m_ptRepositionOffset = ptOffset; 		CRect rcWindow;		GetWindowRect(rcWindow);		rcWindow.BottomRight() += szOffset; 		Offset(ptOffset);		m_szWindow += szOffset;		m_szMin += szOffset;			MoveWindow(rcWindow, TRUE);	} 	m_rcBorders = rcBorders; 	RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST, 0);		m_bInRepositionControls = FALSE;}

----

call this helper in OnSize and in OnInitDialog
