I have an application that I'm converting to use ribbon bars. The application loads up plug-ins DLL's and for each one adds a button to a ribbon bar. The code is as follows:

CXTPCommandBars* const pCommandBars=pPlugInComponentContext->m_pCommandBars;

_ASSERTE(pCommandBars);

pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(m_ToolButtonIconID);

UINT uiGroupTOOLS[] = {m_ToolButtonID};

pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(m_ToolButtonIconID, uiGroupTOOLS, _countof(uiGroupTOOLS), CSize(32, 32));

CXTPToolBar* const pToolBar=pCommandBars->GetToolBar(1);

_ASSERTE(pToolBar);

CXTPRibbonBar* const pRibbonBar=dynamic_cast<CXTPRibbonBar* const>(pToolBar);

_ASSERTE(pRibbonBar);

CXTPRibbonTab* const pRibbonTab=pRibbonBar->GetTab(4);

_ASSERTE(pRibbonTab);

CXTPRibbonGroups* const pRibbonGroups=pRibbonTab->GetGroups();

_ASSERTE(pRibbonGroups);

CXTPRibbonGroup* const pRibbonGroup=pRibbonGroups->GetAt(0);

_ASSERTE(pRibbonGroup);

CXTPControl* const pControl=pRibbonGroup->Add(xtpControlButton, m_ToolButtonID);

_ASSERTE(pControl);

pControl->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);

pControl->SetEnabled(TRUE)

The first problem I had was the button wasn't enabled because there is no message handler, this is by design since I don't know where the messages are to be routed at compile time. So I used SetEnabled to enable the button. The problem I now face is getting messages. In the original application I trapped the WM_COMMAND messages in OnCmdMsg and looked for the ID (m_ToolButtonID), but in the ribbon application I get nothing.
