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"));
