In Ribbonbar application I have loaded all recent files list in Application button of ribbonbar. But can you tell me how to write the code to open these recent files again. ( How to handle events to open these recent files list. Is there any virtual method that we need to override? )

I dont know if you care but this works.

void CMyRibbonBar::OnRibbonGalleryItemSelEndOK(
    CExtRibbonGalleryWnd & wndRG,
    CExtRibbonGalleryPopupMenuWnd * pGalleryPopup,
    CExtRibbonButtonGallery * pRibbonGalleryTBB,
    CExtToolBoxWnd::TOOLBOX_ITEM_DATA * pTBCI
    )
{
    pGalleryPopup->DestroyWindow() ;
    theApp.OpenDocumentFile( LPCSTR(pTBCI->TextGet()) );
}

theApp is variable made by mfc in your ProgApp class.

Yes, this is acceptable.

The Application button is a modified version of the ribbon gallery button. The recent file list is a styled version of the ribbon gallery control. You should override the CExtRibbonPage::OnRibbonGalleryItemSelEndOK() virtual method to handle click/selection events on the gallery control.

If you are using the MFC’s document/view architecture, you should get the registered in application document template object and invoke its CDocTemplate::OpenDocumentFile() method to open a new document from a file.
