Big problems in version 12. Have a look at your RibbonMDI sample an insert the highlighted line

void CMainFrame::OnUpdateRibbonTab(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
    CXTPRibbonControlTab* pControl = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonControlTab, CXTPControl::FromUI(pCmdUI));
    if (!pControl)
        return;

    CXTPRibbonTab* pTab = pControl->FindTab(ID_TAB_EDIT);
    if (!pTab)
        return;

    pTab->SetVisible( FALSE );

    // ...

    pTab->SetVisible(MDIGetActive() != NULL);
}

Try to select the EDIT Tab -> Nothing happens.

And now the real life problem. In my MDI-application the childframes decide whether a tab or group is visible or not. Therefore I have to hide all ribbon tabs and groups; dispatch the update command to the views of a child frame, andf if one of these views is responsible for the command they show the tab/group (SetVisible(TRUE), if they are not responsible they do nothing.

Plese help me

This scenario works for me.

In Main Frame add

void CMainFrame::OnUpdateRibbonTab(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
CXTPRibbonControlTab* pControl = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonControlTab, CXTPControl::FromUI(pCmdUI));
if (!pControl)
return;

CXTPRibbonTab* pTab = pControl->FindTab(ID_TAB_EDIT);
if (!pTab)
return;

pTab->SetVisible( FALSE );
}

in your view

void CRibbonMDISampleView::OnUpdateRibbonTab(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
CXTPRibbonControlTab* pControl = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonControlTab, CXTPControl::FromUI(pCmdUI));
if (!pControl)
return;

CXTPRibbonTab* pTab = pControl->FindTab(ID_TAB_EDIT);
if (!pTab)
return;

pTab->SetVisible(TRUE);
}

now Tab is visible only when View is active.
