Ribbon Designer

The Designer allows you easily create mock ups for real applications. It takes an existing MFC project as an input and generates an XML representation of Ribbon elements along with RC files as an Output. When the designer part of the work has been done you just compile the project, run and see the designed Ribbon control in action.

Ribbon Designer:

Sample code:

// Declare the ribbon bar:
CBCGPRibbonBar m_wndRibbonBar;

// Create the ribbon bar:
m_wndRibbonBar.Create(this);

// Load the ribbon bar from XML resources created by designer:
m_wndRibbonBar.LoadFromXML (_T("IDR_BCGP_RIBBON_XML"));

// That's all! The ribbon is ready to use!
