Convert large app to use RibbonBar

I am converting a large business application (VB6) to use CJ RibbonBar.  The existing application has many Forms, and each Form has its own Menus and Buttons.

I think it will be neater if all these Menus/Buttons are moved to the RibbonBar, and when a Form is selected the RibbonBar will just show the items for that Form.

If I add the code for all those Menus/Buttons to the MainForm RibbonBar it will become very large and complicated.  So I am thinking a better way will be to get each Form to create its own Tabs/Groups on the RibbonBar when it is loaded. And then delete them when the Form is unloaded.

Just wonder if you have any thoughts or advice. Have other people done this?  Anything to watch out for?

I'm starting to move sections of code into separate modules to make the main form (with Ribbon) code smaller.  And then looking at having functions to do the common tasks.

There is a lot of unmentioned stuff with the CodeJock Controls, hidden in Samples and Utils.  Maybe they've already dome all this sort of thing?

Sounds good but I don't know what this means.

Ah!  I am new to this product and I have not yet used the CommandBars Designer.  When the RibbonBar Designer is available I will look at doing this also.
