I have created a ribbon bar application with 5 ribbon tabs inside it.

How can i selectively show them...means hide some and show some tabs at one point and some other time hide different tabs and show
different tabs

Could you help me in this

thanks

In Prof-UIS ribbon, all ribbon elements are represented by ribbon nodes (CExtRibbonNode and classes derived from it). These ribbon nodes constitute the "skeleton" of the ribbon. You can see how different ribbon nodes are created in the ribbon samples (come with Prof-UIS). So you can add or remove nodes in your code. You can apply the changes by assigning the modified top ribbon node to the ribbon bar:

m_wndRibbonBar.SetButtons( m_pRibbonNode );

Each time you change the ribbon node tree and apply the above method, you will see the appropriate changes in the ribbon.

If i have only one m_pRibbonNode and inside that there is object of CExtRibbonNodeTabPageCollection which contain ribbon tab pages
how will i selectively hide and show certain ribbon pages.

This option is currently not supported. Please recreate the ribbon tree node again, without branches you want to hide. Finally please assign a new ribbon node by invoking the CExtRibbonBar::SetButtons() method.
