Example

The following example demonstrates how to use various methods in the CMFCRibbonButtonsGroup class. The example shows how to construct a CMFCRibbonButtonsGroup object, assign images to the group of ribbon buttons, and add a button to the group of ribbon buttons. This code snippet is part of the Draw Client sample.

       CMFCRibbonButtonsGroup* pSBGroup = new CMFCRibbonButtonsGroup;

        CMFCToolBarImages images;
        images.SetImageSize(CSize(14, 14));
    
        CMFCToolBarImages hotimages;
        hotimages.SetImageSize(CSize(14, 14));
    
        if (images.Load(IDB_STATUSBAR_1) && hotimages.Load(IDB_STATUSBAR_2))
        {
            pSBGroup->SetImages(&images, &hotimages, NULL);
        }

        pSBGroup->AddButton(new CMFCRibbonButton(ID_FILE_PRINT_PREVIEW, _T(""), 0));
        pSBGroup->AddButton(new CMFCRibbonButton(ID_FILE_SUMMARYINFO, _T(""), 1));
        
        // CMFCRibbonStatusBar m_wndStatusBar
        m_wndStatusBar.AddExtendedElement(pSBGroup, _T("View Shortcuts"));
