Hi,

I would like to get some buttons into the title bar of the MDI child views of my MDI application. I thought, that perhaps I can use the ribbon bar to do this.

Is it possible to imlement a ribbon bar to a MDI CHild View?

Thanks.

Regards,
Andreas

The CExtRibbonBar control is designed to integrate with its parent window’s caption. I.e. the parent window caption should be always visible. This is true in the case of WS_POPUP windows floating on the desktop. It’s not true in the case of MDI child frames. The window caption of the maximized MDI child frame is not visible. We think you can use the CExtRibbonPage control instead (see the RibbonPage sample application). The CExtRibbonPage control is the simplified version of the CExtRibbonBar control. The CExtRibbonPage control does not have tab pages and a quick access toolbar.
