I am trying to implement RibbonBar in a dialog based application. I am refering to your application in which you have implemented RibbonBar. I have followed all the steps follwed by you. But in your application , in the function

BOOL CRibbonBarApp::InitInstance()

{

---------------------------

---------------------------

pFrame->ActivateFrame( SW_SHOW );

}

is called. I am not able to do this as i am doing dialog based application.

So Ribbonbar is not visible on dialog. How can i make it visible? what code i need to write?

You should simply show it using CWnd::ShowWindow() or create it with the <code>WS_VISIBLE style. Please note that the ribbon bar is kind of MFC control bar. This means your dialog class should invoke CWnd::RepositionBars( 0, 0xFFFF, 0 ); at the end of the OnInitDialog() method and in the OnSize() method.
