   I had a request to add a tooltip to the sysmenu icon when in ribbon mode. This works but I suspect there's a better/smarter way: 
   
  LRESULT CMainFrame::OnControlSelected(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { UNUSED_ALWAYS(lParam); if ( CXTPControl* pControl = (CXTPControl*)wParam ) { if ( 0 == pControl->GetIconId() ) { pControl->SetIconId(XTP_ID_MENUBAR_SYSMENU); pControl->SetTooltip(_T("MyApp Sysmenu")); pControl->SetDescription(_T("Click here to open, save or print \nand see everything else you can do with MyApp")); } } return 0; } I determined the zero icon ID empirically by debugging. Thanks, Gary  |

   Hi, 
   
  I'd recommend set these parameters in moment you create Ribbon - just use GetSystemButton method to retrieve pointer to this button.
