I am trying to write an application in C# that is an MDI application. When I create a ribbon bar in the MDI container, it does not display at all. It works fine if the window is not an MDI container. What do I need to set to get it to show in the MDI container?

Hi,

Did you check \CommandBars\C#.NET\RibbonMDISample sample?

Yes I did. I looked at the code pretty thoroughly and couldn't find what was different between the sample app and what I am trying to do. Is there some property that needs to be set to make it work in an MDI container?

you have these lines of code? can you upload project?

            foreach (Control ctrl in this.Controls)
            {
                if (ctrl is MdiClient)
                {
                    CommandBars.SetMDIClient(ctrl.Handle.ToInt32());
                }
            }

Unfortunately I cannot upload the project because it contains proprietary code. I need to get permission before I do that. As for those lines of code, that is VB and I am trying to do it in C#. As far as I know, there is nothing on the form of type MDIClient. The MDIContainer is the one that's having the problem. Do I still need to do a SetMDIClient? What would I be looking for as far as the control that I want to pass into the call? Is it the form itself? Do I need to add another control to the form?

Sorry, I misread the code. It is indeed C#.
