Problem loading Menu's with Ribbon bar.

Hi,

I am loading menus with the Ribbon bars in the CommandBars. Menus are not showing up properly, they are apperaing below the ribbon bar.

I need Menu to be shown above RibbonBar

Please help me what wrong I am doing.

Below is the code snippet:


    CXTPRibbonBar* pRibbonBar = (CXTPRibbonBar*)pCommandBars->Add(_T("The Ribbon"), xtpBarTop, RUNTIME_CLASS(CXTPRibbonBar));
    if (!pRibbonBar)
    {
        return FALSE;
    }
    pRibbonBar->EnableDocking(TRUE);
    //pRibbonBar->GetTabPaintManager()->m_bSelectOnButtonDown = FALSE;

    CXTPMenuBar* pMenu = pCommandBars->SetMenu(_T("Menu Bar"), IDR_MAINFRAME);
    pMenu->SetPosition(xtpBarNone);

    CXTPControlPopup* pControlFile = (CXTPControlPopup*)pRibbonBar->AddSystemButton(ID_MENU_FILE);
    //pControlFile->SetCommandBar(menu.GetSubMenu(0));
    pControlFile->GetCommandBar()->SetIconSize(CSize(32, 32));

   
    //pControlFile->SetIconId(IDB_GEAR);
    UINT uCommand = {IDB_GEAR};
    pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(IDB_GEAR, &uCommand, 1, CSize(0, 0), xtpImageNormal);
   
    CXTPRibbonTab* pTabHome = pRibbonBar->AddTab(ID_TAB_HOME);

I am attching Image also...please look at the image

Thanks in advance,
Yogi
 

I think this is not allowed by Microsoft licence, read it carefully, you cannot mix ribbon with old items, in the same way you cannot modify icons dimension and so on.

Can you manually move the menu above the ribbon bar (I see the gripper)? If not, that might imply it is not possible to do.

I don't know if you can call ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) on the ribbon. You might be able to delete the ribbon and create the menu and vica versa on the fly. Do any of the samples do such a thing?
