I am using a CExtRibbonBar. I create the main pages at start up and want to add extra pages to the existing ribbon bar after the application has started.

I call Ribbon_GetTabPageRootNode() to get the CExtRibbonNodeTabPageCollection, build my new tab pages and insert them into the CExtRibbonNodeTabPageCollection using InsertNode().

I expect to see my new tabs displayed, but they are not. What am I doing incorrectly?

You should completely rebuild the ribbon’s root node and assign it using the CExtRibbonBar::SetButtons() method. The following project demonstrates how to do this.

Hi,

I downloaded the example, built & ran it.
I click on the ’insert’ tab, click the ’INSERT TABPAGE’ button and get a crash with the following message:
Unhandled exception at 0x00000000 in RibbonBar-md.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.

I am using ProfUIS262md.dll

I have now tried using the code in the example in my app and it does seem to work. Thankyou.
