Hello, I am having trouble using this library as am I new to C#. I would like to start by simply making a ribbon with some controls that react to being clicked. The sample is very big and confusing for me to work with.

I have created a form and added this to the InitializeComponent method:

XtremeCommandBars.RibbonBar RibbonBar = null;
RibbonBar = this.CommandBars.AddRibbonBar("The Ribbon")

It compiles ok but when I try to run, I get Exception of type 'System.Windows.Forms.AxHost+InvalidActiveXStateException' was thrown.

And if I try to look at the form in designer, it also throws an error Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))
Hide

at System.RuntimeType.ForwardCallToInvokeMember(String memberName, BindingFlags flags, Object target, Int32[] aWrapperTypes, MessageData& msgData)
at XtremeCommandBars._DCommandBars.AddRibbonBar(String Name)
at AxXtremeCommandBars.AxCommandBars.AddRibbonBar(String name)

Can someone help please?

Hi. I did a number of things wrong but after another attempt have it working now. My only question is why do I need things like TabWrite.Id = ID.ID_TAB_WRITE; Is there some way to automatically handle these IDs or do I have to go through the resource file by hand?

You don't have assign ids. but you need identify control in Execute handler. You can use caption or Tag instead:

Control.Tag = "SaveCommand"
