Hello

I recently downloaded the evulation version of

ToolkitPro for Visual C++. And I am trying to create ribbon bar on dialog. I searched the documentation code samples but could not find nothing similar. I also searched the posts, with no luck.
Here is what I tried so far :

// This is DialogRibbonBar.h

#define CDialogSampleDlgBase CXTPDialogBase<CXTResizeDialog>

class CDialogsoRibbonDlg : public CDialogSampleDlgBase
{
// Construction
public:
    CDialogsoRibbonDlg(CWnd* pParent = NULL); // standard constructor

    enum { IDD = IDD_DIALOGSORIBBON_DIALOG };

    protected:
    virtual void DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX);    // DDX/DDV support

protected:

    virtual BOOL OnInitDialog();

    DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};

/// This is DialogRibbonBar.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"
#include " DialogRibbonBar.h "

CDialogsoRibbonDlg::CDialogsoRibbonDlg(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/)
    : CDialogSampleDlgBase(CDialogsoRibbonDlg::IDD, pParent)
{

}

void CDialogsoRibbonDlg::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
    CDialogSampleDlgBase::DoDataExchange(pDX);

}

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CDialogsoRibbonDlg, CDialogSampleDlgBase)
    //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CDialogSampleDlg)

END_MESSAGE_MAP()

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// CDialogSampleDlg message handlers

BOOL CDialogsoRibbonDlg::OnInitDialog()
{

    CDialogSampleDlgBase::OnInitDialog();

    VERIFY(InitCommandBars());
    CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
   CXTPRibbonBar* pRibbonBar = (CXTPRibbonBar*)pCommandBars->Add(_T("The Ribbon"), xtpBarTop, RUNTIME_CLASS(CXTPRibbonBar));
     pRibbonBar->AddTab(L"Hello");
   pRibbonBar->AddTab(L"Hello again");

    return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}

The code that calls the dialog is in the InitInstance of my dialog based application :

    CDialogsoRibbonDlg dlg;
    m_pMainWnd = &dlg;
    INT_PTR nResponse = dlg.DoModal()

Can someone review my code and tell my what I am missing , because the dialog box shows no ribbon bar at all.

Thank you

Hello,

Start from DialogSample we have and replace standard Toolbar to RibbonBar.

i think you should see again OnInitDialog in DialogSample application. There is a function that plays a role very importantly. It's "RepositionControls" function. When i delete it, there is no command bar. May be it makes command bars appear.
