Hi,

I have implemented a dynamic hiding of commandbar buttons via UPDATE_COMMAND_UI messages and I would like to do the same for ribbon groups/tabs.

Where is the best place to intercept update messages?

Looking through the code, I found two candidates
- CCommandBar::OnIdleUpdateCmdUI(...)
- CCommandBar::OnUpdateCmdUI()

The former is virtual, so I can override it in my Ribbon class, but I see that the actual update is performed in the later one.

What would you suggest?

Thanks,
Pavol

Hello,

Think best way is override OnIdleUpdateCmdUI. Don't forget to call base method.
