Remarks

The group is derived from CMFCBaseRibbonElement and can be manipulated as a single entity. You can position the group on any panel or popup menu.

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"));
