I have a MFC program that I would like to add a ribbon too.

I tried to cut and paste the code form the samples but no avail.

I am not a programmer by trade im a hardware engineer that got this dumped in my lap, so forgive me if Im asking dump questions:

 

This is the code I added

 

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
 if (CMDIFrameWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
  return -1;
 
 if (!m_wndStatusBar.Create(this) ||
  !m_wndStatusBar.SetIndicators(indicators,
  sizeof(indicators)/sizeof(UINT)))
 {
  TRACE0("Failed to create status bar\n");
  return -1;      // fail to create
 }
 
 if (!InitCommandBars())
  return -1;

 CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();

 pCommandBars->SetTheme(xtpThemeRibbon);
 
 m_wndStatusBar.SetFont(pCommandBars->GetPaintManager()->GetIconFont());
 m_wndStatusBar.SetDrawDisabledText(FALSE);
 m_wndStatusBar.SetCommandBars(pCommandBars);
 m_wndStatusBar.GetStatusBarCtrl().SetMinHeight(22);
 m_wndStatusBar.GetPane(0)->SetMargins(8, 1, 2, 1);

 ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
 // IMPORTANT:
 // Ribbon bitmaps resources by default located in application executable.
 //
 // You also can specify handle to find ribbon resources:
 //((CXTPOffice2007Theme*)XTPPaintManager())->SetImageHandle(hHandle);

 //HMODULE hModule = LoadLibrary(m_csStylesPath + _T("Office2007Blue.dll"));
 //((CXTPOffice2007Theme*)pCommandBars->GetPaintManager())->SetImageHandle(hModule);

 CXTPToolTipContext* pToolTipContext = GetCommandBars()->GetToolTipContext();
 pToolTipContext->SetStyle(xtpToolTipOffice2007);
 pToolTipContext->ShowTitleAndDescription();
 pToolTipContext->SetMargin(CRect(2, 2, 2, 2));
 pToolTipContext->SetMaxTipWidth(180);
 pToolTipContext->SetFont(pCommandBars->GetPaintManager()->GetIconFont());

 pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->ShowKeyboardCues(xtpKeyboardCuesShowWindowsDefault);
 pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bToolBarAccelTips = TRUE;

 pCommandBars->GetShortcutManager()->SetAccelerators(IDR_MAINFRAME);

 LoadIcons();

 if (!CreateRibbonBar())
 {
  TRACE0("Failed to create ribbon\n");
  return -1;
 }

 m_wndClient.Attach(this, FALSE);
 m_wndClient.GetToolTipContext()->SetStyle(xtpToolTipOffice2007);

 m_bShowWorkspace = FALSE;
 m_wndClient.ShowWorkspace(m_bShowWorkspace);

 LoadCommandBars(_T("CommandBars"));

 return 0;
};

 

Basically when compilled I get alot of errors

Did I miss something?

 

Thanks in advance
Derrek

you need to derive CMainFrame from CXTPFrameWnd...

 

Thanks for the reply,

Could you describe how to do this?

 

Thanks

Derrek

 

Open mainfrm.h and replace

CMainFrame : public CMDIFrameWnd to

 

 

 

Oleg,

I had already done that but I get the following errors I think I may be missing a lib or link

Please hire developer :-)

read error descriptions, they have all information you need.

 

Think better solution for you take Ribbon MDI sample and rename it for your project.

I have fixed all the obvious errors but I have a few left:

What else should I be looking at.

 

Thanks

Derrek

Paste full MainFrm.h file

I have done that and the errors are still there.

 

Derrek

 

I mean paste to forum to check what you have there.

I got the project to compile however I have a linking error now:

 

MainFrm.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual int __thiscall CMainFrame::Create(char const *,char const *,unsigned long,struct tagRECT const &,class CWnd *,unsigned int,struct CCreateContext *)" ( mailto:?Create@CMainFrame@@UAEHPB - ?Create@CMainFrame@@UAEHPB

Release/OramaDro.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Derrek

Ill take a look at that is it in MainFrm.cpp?
