Hi,

I have a ribbon bar in VB6 - Active-x and I would like to add a large label and a shape to it. I've been reading the posts and have seen it suggested that I have to put them in a picturebox and then add the picturebox to the ribbon.

So I put the label and shape into a picturebox in design mode then I declared the control:

Dim ControlClock As XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarControlCustom

then I add the control to the group:

Set ControlClock = GroupDocumentViews.Add(XtremeCommandBars.XTPControlType.xtpControlCustom, ID_CLOCK, "", False, False)

and change the control handle to equal the picturebox handle:

ControlClock.Handle = picClock.hDC

but nothing gets added to the ribbon. I can not find an example of how to do this - just a general description of what to do.

ControlClock.Handle = picClock.hDC

this should be
ControlClock.Handle = picClock.hWnd
