Remarks

Typically, you create a ribbon category indirectly by calling CMFCRibbonBar::AddCategory, which returns a pointer to the newly created ribbon category. You add panels to the category by calling CMFCRibbonCategory::AddPanel.

The CMFCRibbonTab class draws ribbon categories. It is derived from CMFCRibbonBaseElement Class.

This following example demonstrates how to create a ribbon category and add a panel to it.

// Create a new ribbon category and get a pointer to it

CMFCRibbonCategory* pCategory = m_wndRibbonBar.AddCategory

(_T("&Write"), // Category name

IDB_WRITE, // Category small images (16 x 16)

IDB_WRITE_LARGE); // Category large images (32 x 32)

// Add a panel to the new category

CMFCRibbonPanel* pPanel = pCategory->AddPanel (

_T("Clipboard"), // Panel name

m_PanelIcons.ExtractIcon (0)); // Panel icon

The following diagram shows a figure of the Home category from the RibbonApp sample application.
