Hi,

I am going to present my application on tuesday, and I really really have go get this working by then. Please, help me out as soon as you can. (Btw, your "Immediate support"-link is dead.)

Consider a general MDI application. Here you bind different menus to different views, and all command routing is handled internally. All you have to do is to add your command handlers in your view and you are done.

Now, with ribbons I simply do not understand how this behavior would be accomplished. As far as I can see, you bind the ribbon to the main frame's menu and then remove the menu from the frame:

CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
CMenu menu;
menu.Attach(::GetMenu(m_hWnd));
SetMenu(NULL);
 
QUESTION
How do I route menu commands to the opened view? There must be something really simple that I have missed.
 
Thanks in advance!
/Chris, Sweden

Hello,
In Ribbon it works same. Just add handler to your view.

Thanks for your fast response.

Here is the ribbon code for my "menu item":
CXTPRibbonGroup* pGroupCompany = pTabCompany->AddGroup(ID_GROUP_COMPANY);
pGroupCompany->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_COMPANY_SEARCH);
 
If I add a handler in CMainFrame, it is being called correctly. However, in CMyView my handler is NOT being called (even if I remove the handler in CMainFrame):
 
ON_COMMAND(ID_COMPANY_SEARCH, CompanySearch)
 
...
 
void CMyView::CompanySearch()
{
    CString str;
    str.Format("CMyView, this: %d", (DWORD)this);
    AfxMessageBox(str);
}
 
Don't I need to somehow route command messages to the views? I know you do this with OnCmdMsg in SDI applications, but in MDI I have no clue.
 
Thanks!

Hi again!

I solved it. Sorry for bothering you about this ribbon thingy =P. I accidently called wrong OnCmdMsg on my main frame.
 
Thanks anyway!

One more thing though... :D
 
When I open a new view (View1), how do I make the Ribbon tab called "View 1" the active one? I don't want the user to have to click on the correct tab in order to see the new view's menu items.
 
Thanks.

Hello,
You can activate it manually in OnInitialUpdate of view.
