Remarks

Ribbon panels are logical groupings of related tasks that you create within ribbon categories. As the size of the ribbon changes, the panel layout automatically adjusts to display as many elements as possible.

You can get a ribbon panels that is contained in a ribbon category by calling the CMFCRibbonCategory::GetPanel method.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to configure a CMFCRibbonPanel object by using various methods in the CMFCRibbonPanel class. The example shows how to set the keyboard shortcut that displays the ribbon panel, align elements in the panel vertically by column, and enable column justification. This code snippet is part of the MS Office 2007 Demo sample.

// CMFCRibbonCategory* pCategory
// CMFCToolBarImages m_PanelImages
CMFCRibbonPanel *pPanelClipboard = pCategory->AddPanel(_T("Clipboard"), m_PanelImages.ExtractIcon(1));
pPanelClipboard->SetKeys(_T("zc"));
