(1) Is it possible to have tool tips for ribbon bar tabs? How would I do that? (2) Is it possible to display an icon to the left of the text in ribbon bar tabs? That is, an icon for each tab. Thanks,
Rob.

Here is the modified version of the CMainFrame::_InitRibbonPage_Home() method from the RibbonBar sample which makes the Home tab item in the ribbon bar display a big screen tip (we have initialized it with the same text and image as the ribbon file menu): CExtRibbonNode * CMainFrame::_InitRibbonPage_Home()
{
CExtRibbonNodeTabPage * pRibbonNodeTabPage = new CExtRibbonNodeTabPage( 0L, NULL, _T("Home") );
CExtCustomizeCmdScreenTip * pCmdScreenTip = new CExtCustomizeCmdScreenTip;
pCmdScreenTip->CaptionMainSet( _T("Application Button") );
pCmdScreenTip->TextMainSet( _T("Click here to open, save or print,\nand to see everything else you can\ndo with the document.") );
pCmdScreenTip->BmpMainGet().LoadBMP_Resource( MAKEINTRESOURCE(ID_FILE_DLB_TIP_IMAGE) );
pCmdScreenTip->BmpMainGet().Make32();
pCmdScreenTip->BmpMainGet().AlphaColor( RGB(255,0,255), RGB(0,0,0), 0 );
pRibbonNodeTabPage->CmdScreenTipAttach( pCmdScreenTip );
pRibbonNodeTabPage->CmdKeyTipSet( new CExtCustomizeCmdKeyTip( __EXT_MFC_SAFE_TCHAR( _T(’H’) ) ), false );
pRibbonNodeTabPage->InsertNode( NULL, _InitRibbonNode_Home_Clipboard() );
pRibbonNodeTabPage->InsertNode( NULL, _InitRibbonNode_Home_Font() );
pRibbonNodeTabPage->InsertNode( NULL, _InitRibbonNode_Home_Paragraph() );
pRibbonNodeTabPage->InsertNode( NULL, _InitRibbonNode_Home_Style() );
pRibbonNodeTabPage->InsertNode( NULL, _InitRibbonNode_Home_Find() );
return pRibbonNodeTabPage;
}The icons on ribbon tabs are not supported at this moment. Besides, the Windows Vista UI Guidelines strongly recommend not to use icons on tabs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511493.aspxHere is the text from the document referred above: Don’t put icons on tabs. Icons usually add unnecessary visual clutter, consume screen space, and often don’t improve user comprehension.
