Change Tabs in Ribbon Control dynamically - C++

[Gopi Nath]

Hello Everybody, In our application we have added a Ribbon control with multiple tabs. Is there anyway to select / change tabs through code? I can see an option available in C# (SelectedIndex), like that is there anything available in C++ also? for eg, I am in 3rd tab in my application, and when I reset, first tab needs to be selected. Thanks in advance. Regards, Gopinath.

You can set IsSelected to true on the RibbonTab you want to select.

Hi Thaddeus Jones, Thanks for your reply. I don't see any option like isSelected in RibbonControl tabs. Can you give me a sample code if any, so that I will get some idea. Regards, Gopi.

It's on the RibbonTab: RibbonTab.IsSelected Property (System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon)[^].

Hi, Thanks again. Let me give this a try and let you know. Regards, Gopi.

Your answer is for the .NET Framework, but I think the OP's question is about native C++.

The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Because of the comparison with the C# version I expected it to be about the same control, but you may be right. In the CMFCRibbonBar, tabs are called categories and they can be set with SetActiveCategory().

Hi Richard, Yes, you are right, its for C++ only. Regards, Gopi.

I think, this will not work for my solution. Anyways, let me try.
