When adding popupcontrols to a ribbonbar like you do with the options menu in your ribbon sample, I would like the menu to automatically expand when you focus on it with the mouse.

In the CXTPMenubar when switching between menus, the menus do automatically expand. It seems like this behaviour has been removed, though the ribbonbar has been derived from the menubar.

Is there a way to get this back? How do i do it?

:))

Oh and i t seems there is a bug with the cues and the Ribbonbar:


pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bShowKeyboardTips = TRUE;
pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->ShowKeyboardCues(xtpKeyboardCuesShowAlways);
BOOL IsIt = pRibbonBar->IsKeyboardCuesVisible()

IsIt is Always zero. I seems like bShowKeyboardTips interferes with the keyboard cues. Correct me if i am wrong. :)

Sorry, its designed only for MenuBar....

same with cues - see BOOL CXTPRibbonBar::IsKeyboardCuesVisible() const method. you can override it and restore default behavior
