The CExtRibbonBar and CExtRibbonPage classes are derived from CExtMenuControlBar which, in turn, derived from CExtToolControlBar. As you may know, the toolbar does not keep tooltips nor status bar tips. All this information is stored in CExtCmdItem command description objects that can be accessed from the command manager (g_CmdManager->CmdGetPtr()). So you can set tooltip text for any command in the ribbon in the same way as for a toolbar, i.e. by setting the CExtCmdItem::m_sTipTool property.

If you mean super tooltips, this feature is not yet implemented in v.2.64. This will be available in the next version. You can download a sample that demonstrates the beta version of this feature (Home/Clipboard group only ). The latest code is available at our ftp site.
