I add into the example RibbonBarMdi in the file mainfrm.cpp into the message map the following:
    ON_COMMAND(ID_EDIT_PASTE, OnEditPaste)
and the function:
void CMainFrame::OnEditPaste()
{
    AfxMessageBox("EditPaste");
}
Into the function _InitRibbonNode_Home_Clipboard you add a ribbonnode with the cmdid ID_EDIT_PASTE. But when i press the ribbon button i can’t get the messagebox. So please tell me, how i can receive the message.
Thanks

We are sorry but we did not receive it. Please send it to us again. If you did not exclude some binary files from your project and the attachment was big enough, it may have been filtered out somewhere.

I have send you my source code per email at 9/27. You hav recieved it ? Do you have find the error ?

There are no differences in the ribbon code available in 2.80 and 2.81 you have. We believe the problem is hidden somewhere else what is not discussed yet. Would you allow us in some way to look at your source code, e.g., via a remote desktop?

I find out what is going wrong. First i compile it with VS2003 and the version 2.80 and everything works fine. After that i compile it with the version 2.81 from 6. of sept. and i got a fault. So there must be an error into the new code handling the commands.

The CN_COMMAND notifications are invoked both for handling commands and detecting whether the handler method is present. So, you should not ignore the pExtra != NULL condition and simply return TRUE in this case without displaying the message box (handling command). Please send us a modified version of our sample application (to avoid any misunderstanding) so we can find out what is wrong.

I have used the above OnCmdMsg, but it doesn’t work. So i try the RibbonMDI example. I remove in the OnCmdMsg the comment mark for the ID_EDIT_COPY. So the code looks like :
    if( nID == ID_EDIT_COPY && nCode == CN_COMMAND && pExtra == NULL )
    {
        int x = 0;
        x;
        AfxMessageBox("Edit Copy");
        return TRUE;
    }
But the Messagebox is not displayed. Is there a problem with the version 2.81 you have send me?
When i remove pExtra == NULL, then i get many Messageboxes.
Thanks

I send the following code into my project:
BOOL CMainFrame::OnCmdMsg(UINT nID, int nCode, void* pExtra, AFX_CMDHANDLERINFO* pHandlerInfo)
{

    if (nID == ID_HOLZ_BALKEN && nCode == CN_COMMAND && pExtra == NULL)
    {
#ifdef _TTRACE
        TTrace::Debug()->Send("NewWoodBeam");
#endif
        int i;
        theApp.m_nChoise = 0;
        theApp.CreateNewDocument(HSBALKENPROG);
    }

    return CExtNCW < CMDIFrameWnd > :: OnCmdMsg( nID, nCode, pExtra, pHandlerInfo );
}
CExtRibbonNode * CMainFrame::_InitRibbonPage_Home()
{
    CExtRibbonNodeTabPage * pRibbonNodeTabPage = new CExtRibbonNodeTabPage( 0L, NULL, _T("Holzbau") );
    pRibbonNodeTabPage->CmdKeyTipSet( new CExtCustomizeCmdKeyTip( __EXT_MFC_SAFE_TCHAR( _T(’H’) ) ), false );

    CExtRibbonNodeGroup * pRibbonGroup =
        new CExtRibbonNodeGroup( ID_RIBBON_PAGE_WOOD );

    CExtRibbonNode * pNodeFileNew =
        new CExtRibbonNode(
        ID_HOLZ_BALKEN,
        0,
        NULL,
        0,
        NULL,
        _T("&Durchlauftrager")
        );

    CExtSkinBitmap m_bmpNew;
    HICON hIcon = theApp.appIcons.GetAt(0);
    m_bmpNew.AssignFromHICON(hIcon);
    pNodeFileNew->m_iconBig.m_bmpNormal = m_bmpNew;
    pNodeFileNew->CmdKeyTipSet( new CExtCustomizeCmdKeyTip( __EXT_MFC_SAFE_TCHAR( _T(’N’) ) ), false );
    pRibbonGroup->InsertNode( NULL, pNodeFileNew );
    pRibbonNodeTabPage->InsertNode( NULL, pRibbonGroup );

    return pRibbonNodeTabPage;
}
but i can’t receive the message. Could you tell me what’s wrong ? It’s a little bit difficulte to move from my old GUI.
Thanks

You could improve your CMainFrame::OnCmdMsg() method in this way

BOOL CMainFrame::OnCmdMsg(UINT nID, int nCode, void* pExtra, AFX_CMDHANDLERINFO* pHandlerInfo) 
{
      if( nID == ID_HOLZ_BALKEN && nCode == CN_COMMAND )
      {
            if(pExtra == NULL )
            {
#ifdef _TTRACE
                  TTrace::Debug()->Send("NewWoodBeam");
#endif
                  int i;
                  theApp.m_nChoise = 0;
                  theApp.CreateNewDocument(HSBALKENPROG);
            }
            return TRUE;
      }
      return CExtNCW < CMDIFrameWnd > :: OnCmdMsg( nID, nCode, pExtra, pHandlerInfo );
}

Now command ID_HOLZ_BALKEN should work OK.

You may have already noticed that the RibbonBarMDI sample has all buttons and menu items in the ribbon bar always enabled regardless of the fact we did not implement handler methods for these commands. We have handled/updated all the commands at once in the CMainFrame::OnCmdMsg() method which contains the following code near the end of this method:

      CExtNCW < CMDIFrameWnd > :: OnCmdMsg( nID, nCode, pExtra, pHandlerInfo );
      return TRUE;

Please do not forget to replace the following lines above with this line in your real project:

      return CExtNCW < CMDIFrameWnd > :: OnCmdMsg( nID, nCode, pExtra, pHandlerInfo );

But this is not what causes the problem when the handler for the ID_EDIT_PASTE command is not invoked. We guess you simply inserted a message map entry for it into the message map of some other class instead of the CMainFrame class. We have repeated your experiment with the RibbonBarMDI sample and the message box was displayed.
