Adding Ribbon to existing Project

I have a MFC program that I would like to add a ribbon too.

I tried to cut and paste the code form the samples but no avail.

I am not a programmer by trade im a hardware engineer that got this dumped in my lap, so forgive me if Im asking dump questions:

 

This is the code I added

 

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
 if (CMDIFrameWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
  return -1;
 
 if (!m_wndStatusBar.Create(this) ||
  !m_wndStatusBar.SetIndicators(indicators,
  sizeof(indicators)/sizeof(UINT)))
 {
  TRACE0("Failed to create status bar\n");
  return -1;      // fail to create
 }
 
 if (!InitCommandBars())
  return -1;

 CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();

 pCommandBars->SetTheme(xtpThemeRibbon);
 
 m_wndStatusBar.SetFont(pCommandBars->GetPaintManager()->GetIconFont());
 m_wndStatusBar.SetDrawDisabledText(FALSE);
 m_wndStatusBar.SetCommandBars(pCommandBars);
 m_wndStatusBar.GetStatusBarCtrl().SetMinHeight(22);
 m_wndStatusBar.GetPane(0)->SetMargins(8, 1, 2, 1);

 ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
 // IMPORTANT:
 // Ribbon bitmaps resources by default located in application executable.
 //
 // You also can specify handle to find ribbon resources:
 //((CXTPOffice2007Theme*)XTPPaintManager())->SetImageHandle(hHandle);

 //HMODULE hModule = LoadLibrary(m_csStylesPath + _T("Office2007Blue.dll"));
 //((CXTPOffice2007Theme*)pCommandBars->GetPaintManager())->SetImageHandle(hModule);

 CXTPToolTipContext* pToolTipContext = GetCommandBars()->GetToolTipContext();
 pToolTipContext->SetStyle(xtpToolTipOffice2007);
 pToolTipContext->ShowTitleAndDescription();
 pToolTipContext->SetMargin(CRect(2, 2, 2, 2));
 pToolTipContext->SetMaxTipWidth(180);
 pToolTipContext->SetFont(pCommandBars->GetPaintManager()->GetIconFont());

 pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->ShowKeyboardCues(xtpKeyboardCuesShowWindowsDefault);
 pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bToolBarAccelTips = TRUE;

 pCommandBars->GetShortcutManager()->SetAccelerators(IDR_MAINFRAME);

 LoadIcons();

 if (!CreateRibbonBar())
 {
  TRACE0("Failed to create ribbon\n");
  return -1;
 }

 m_wndClient.Attach(this, FALSE);
 m_wndClient.GetToolTipContext()->SetStyle(xtpToolTipOffice2007);

 m_bShowWorkspace = FALSE;
 m_wndClient.ShowWorkspace(m_bShowWorkspace);

 LoadCommandBars(_T("CommandBars"));

 return 0;
};

 

Basically when compilled I get alot of errors

Did I miss something?

 

Thanks in advance
Derrek

Thanks for the reply,

Could you describe how to do this?

 

Thanks

Oleg,

I had already done that but I get the following errors I think I may be missing a lib or link

I have fixed all the obvious errors but I have a few left:

What else should I be looking at.

 

Thanks

Derrek

I have done that and the errors are still there.

 

Derrek

I got the project to compile however I have a linking error now:

 

MainFrm.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual int __thiscall CMainFrame::Create(char const *,char const *,unsigned long,struct tagRECT const &,class CWnd *,unsigned int,struct CCreateContext *)" (?Create@CMainFrame@@UAEHPB
D0KABUtagRECT@@PAVCWnd@@IPAUCCreateContext@@@Z)
Release/OramaDro.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Derrek

Ill take a look at that is it in MainFrm.cpp?
