Hi,

i like to create a RibbonBar like in the "Ribbon MDI Sample"

So i create a new Project in VS2003, choose ToolkitPro Project, MDI layout, Office2003 Style, ...

if i begin to applicate the sample code on my project, there is directly an error on this line :

    // Get a pointer to the command bars object.
    CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
    if(pCommandBars == NULL)
    {
        TRACE0("Failed to create command bars object.\n");
        return -1;      // fail to create
    }

    pCommandBars->SetTheme(xtpThemeRibbon);

Which configuration must i set to create a RibbonBar?

Is there a step-by-step Tutorial to add a RibbonBar?

Thanks !

Hi,

You need add bitmaps of Ribbon to your exe.

If you use 10.3.1 just add

#include "Ribbon\Styles\Office2007Blue\Office2007Blue.rc"

in your res\app.rc2 file.
