Hello,

I try to implement the Ribbon control to a dialog based app, similar to the Ribbon Sample. But after build in I get everytime a grey dialog with a black border. No headline and so forth.

So my understanding is that I need to add something about the Office2007 PaintManager and Resources. But can someone help me out how to do this in Dialog Based apps?

Ingo

Hi,

In your res\xxx.rc2 file add

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

hi,

ok I play little bit, with the tip the border of the dialog is blu, but there is still no ribbon/commandbar at the top. I also changed following:

OnPaint:
//CRayPlicantDlgBase::OnPaint();

changed to:

        CPaintDC dc(this);
        CXTPClientRect rc(this);

        CXTPWindowRect rcClient(GetDlgItem(AFX_IDW_PANE_FIRST));
        ScreenToClient(&rcClient);

        CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
        ((CXTPOffice2007Theme*)(pCommandBars->GetPaintManager()))->FillWorkspace(&dc, rc, rcClient);

Problem:
Now the dialog is blue but also I do not have any Commandbar/Ribbob at the top, the complete Windowtop is missing.

Any Solution?
