How to show Ribbon bar Context tabs when using mfc

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
I am building a ribbon using the mfcribbon-ms resource to be used with a MDI. The ribbon has a context category with one category tab.

I can't seem to find any way to easily activate the context category from a CView activation. There are no samples that show the context categories from created from a mfc ribbon resource.

Note that the mfc ribbon resource lets you specify an ID for the context, but not for the categories and the XTP API CXTPRibbonControlTab::FindTab requires an ID that can't be specified. the CMFCRibbon class has a ShowContextCategories

Any help appreciated.

Scott.
