Ribbon and menus

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi there :)

I'm porting application that has a lot of menus into ribbon.
I found it very slow to add every tab, group and button to ribbon with C++ code. Is there a way to add a complete submenu into ribbon tab (for example as a group)? Idealy it would add all items as butons, take care of separators and if there is a submenu it woul insert a button with down arrow and submenu would appear on click.

Pseudo code I want:

CMenu myMenu;
myMenu.LoadMenu( IDR_MAINFRAME );
CXTPRibbonTab* pTab = pMyRibbon->AddTab( "MyTab" );
pTab->AddGroup( myMenu.GetSubMenu(0));   <--- any way to do this?

Thanks for your help guys!
Irek

ps. I know that there is a way to do someting similar by loading a toolbar:  pGroup->LoadToolbar  - but I need to do it from menu

	So what problem? Add CMainFrame method, loop menu items and add new buttons? int nCount = ::GetMenuItemCount(pMenu->m_hMenu); for (int i = 0; i < nCount; i++) { CString strCaption; pMenu->GetMenuString(i, strCaption, MF_BYPOSITION); ... }
