Hello,

how can I detect that the user selected a ribbon tab ?

I want to detect a real user interaction initiated with the mouse or keyboard ( does it work with the keyboard ? )

Just detecting the TCN_SELCHANGED or TCN_SELCHANGING is not sufficient.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

You're talking about the RibbonSample ?

void CMainFrame::OnRibbonTabChanged(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pRes)

{

NMXTPTABCHANGE* pNMTabChanged = (NMXTPTABCHANGE*)pNMHDR;

if (pNMTabChanged->pTab)

{

TRACE(_T("Tab Changed, Caption = %s\n"), (LPCTSTR)pNMTabChanged->pTab->GetCaption());

}

*pRes = 0;

}

Thanks, but I already found this solution.

But how can I be sure that the USER actually select the new tab ?

This event will also be fired when I change the tab programmatically.

Hi,

Yes, this code. You always can set some flag before change Tab programmatically and check it in yor handler.

Hmm, wouldn't it be more reliable to hand this information over to the program via the NMXTPTABCHANGE structure ?

The event will be send from within the ribbon bar as well ( and is then out of my control ).
