I had a request to add a tooltip to the sysmenu icon when in ribbon mode. This works but I suspect there's a better/smarter way:
LRESULT CMainFrame::OnControlSelected(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
     UNUSED_ALWAYS(lParam);
     if ( CXTPControl* pControl = (CXTPControl*)wParam )
    {
        if ( 0 == pControl->GetIconId() )
        {
            pControl->SetIconId(XTP_ID_MENUBAR_SYSMENU);
            pControl->SetTooltip(_T("MyApp Sysmenu"));
            pControl->SetDescription(_T("Click here to open, save or print \nand see everything else you can do with MyApp"));
        }
    }

     return 0;
}

I determined the zero icon ID empirically by debugging.

Thanks,
Gary

Hi,

I'd recommend set these parameters in moment you create Ribbon - just use GetSystemButton method to retrieve pointer to this button.
