In my application I need dynamically add and delete buttons to the Ribbon bar. When I add and delete buttons to non-active page all works fine. But when I add button to active page it dosn’t appear until I switch to the other page and return back. When I try to delete the button from the active page using RemoveCommand method application crashes.

Hello,

i have the same question...

i tried adding extra nodes (to the existing one) like it was shown in the RibbonBar example:
1) add some extra CExtRibbonNodes
2) pass mp_node_root to SetButtons() // i cached the root node
3) call recalc layout;
4) it did not work - the app crashed.

Could you please send an example of code?

PSˆ if real new/delete is not possible .. could it be possible just to show/hide CExtRibbonNodeGroup(s)?

This approach works and have already been used by our customers. We need to take a look at the call stack demonstrating the crash point. You can also send us your project so we can find out what’s wrong.

You can add and remove buttons, groups or pages in the ribbon bar by re-constructing the command tree and assigning it to the ribbon bar again. Did you try this way?
