Implements the ribbon separator.

Syntax

class CMFCRibbonSeparator : public CMFCRibbonBaseElement

Members

Public Constructors

Name Description
CMFCRibbonSeparator::CMFCRibbonSeparator Constructs a CMFCRibbonSeparator object.

Public Methods

Name Description
CMFCRibbonSeparator::AddToListBox Adds a separator to the Commands list in the Customize dialog box. (Overrides CMFCRibbonBaseElement::AddToListBox.)
CMFCRibbonSeparator::CreateObject Used by the framework to create a dynamic instance of this class type.
CMFCRibbonSeparator::GetThisClass Used by the framework to obtain a pointer to the CRuntimeClass object that is associated with this class type.

Protected Methods

Name Description
CMFCRibbonSeparator::CopyFrom A copy method that sets a separator's member variables from another object.
CMFCRibbonSeparator::GetRegularSize Returns the size of a separator.
CMFCRibbonSeparator::IsSeparator Indicates whether this is a separator.
CMFCRibbonSeparator::IsTabStop Indicates whether this is a tab stop.
CMFCRibbonSeparator::OnDraw Called by the system to draw the separator on either the ribbon or the Quick Access Toolbar.
CMFCRibbonSeparator::OnDrawOnList Called by the system to draw the separator on the Commands list.

Remarks

A ribbon separator is a vertical or horizontal line that logically separates ribbon elements. A separator can be drawn on the ribbon control, the main application menu, the ribbon status bar, and the Quick Access Toolbar.

To use a separator in your application, construct the new object and add it to the main application menu as shown here:

CMFCRibbonMainPanel* pMainPanel = m_wndRibbonBar.AddMainCategory(_T("Main Menu"),
    IDB_FILESMALL,
    IDB_FILELARGE);

...  
pMainPanel->Add(new CMFCRibbonSeparator(TRUE));

Call CMFCRibbonPanel::AddSeparator to add separators to ribbon panels. The separators are allocated and added internally by the AddSeparator method.

CMFCRibbonSeparator::AddToListBox

Adds a separator to the Commands list in the Customize dialog box.

virtual int AddToListBox(
    CMFCRibbonCommandsListBox* pWndListBox,  
    BOOL bDeep);

Parameters

[in] pWndListBox
A pointer to the Commands list where the separator is added.

[in] bDeep
Ignored.

Return Value

Zero-based index to the string in the list box specified by pWndListBox.

CMFCRibbonSeparator::CMFCRibbonSeparator

Constructs a CMFCRibbonSeparator object.

CMFCRibbonSeparator(BOOL bIsHoriz = FALSE);

Parameters

[in] bIsHoriz
If TRUE, the separator is horizontal; if FALSE, the separator is vertical.

Remarks

Horizontal separators are used in application menus. Vertical separators are used in toolbars.

The following example demonstrates how to construct an object of the CMFCRibbonSeparator class.

  // CMFCRibbonMainPanel* pMainPanel
    pMainPanel->Add(new CMFCRibbonSeparator(TRUE));

CMFCRibbonSeparator::CopyFrom

A copy method that sets a separator's member variables from another object.

virtual void CopyFrom(const CMFCRibbonBaseElement& src);

Parameters

[in] Src
The source ribbon element to copy from.

CMFCRibbonSeparator::GetRegularSize

Returns the size of a separator.

virtual CSize GetRegularSize(CDC* pDC);

Parameters

[in] pDC

virtual void OnDraw(CDC* pDC);

Parameters

[in] pDC
A pointer to a device context.

CMFCRibbonSeparator::OnDrawOnList

Called by the system to draw the separator on the Commands list.

virtual void OnDrawOnList(
    CDC* pDC,  
    CString strText,  
    int nTextOffset,  
    CRect rect,
