Multiple ribbons

   How is it possible that you find the solution after you have posted a question at this forum? 

I found the way:
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(XTP_ID_RIBBONCONTROLTAB, OnUpdateRibbonTab)

Then I simply show/hide the tabs. Only one ribbon. Smart =)

Thanks anyway!

	I managed to swap ribbons by adding them all in CMainFrame::OnCreate and then toggle their visibility in CXXXFrame::OnMDIActivate. This turned out to be a bad solution. You expect the swap to be instant, but it takes roughly one second. There must be a better solution for this, or have I misunderstood the concept of ribbons? Maybe I should use that specialized tool-ribbon for my views? Any ideas?

	Hi! I have an MDI application with several different views. Each view needs its own ribbon. When a view is selected its ribbon should be loaded. I have not been able to find a solution for this. I read a post here where the ribbon was loaded into the child frame, but that just looks weird if you ask me. Hence, I want multiple ribbons where only one is visible at a time. Do I need to remove and re-add a ribbon in order to accomplish this? Thanks in advance! /Chris, Sweden
