I am trying to create an MFC ribbon gallery button (similar to mspaint brushes button) using Visual Studio 2010 ribbon wizard.
step1 I created a gallery button, changed button mode to true, set columns to 4, icon width to 32, set a large icon to it.
step2 I added icons to gallery button.
everything looks fine except that when I select an icon from drop down menu of the gallery button,
the main icon of the gallery button stays the same.
How can I change the gallery button icon to the selected icon?

I want to either put a dialog box as a replacement for a SDI Windows frame, or put dialog type controls in the Windows Frame. I don't want a pop up dialog to show up. I would use a dialog based application if I could place a menu and toolbar on the top. They don't seem to be available.
While running Windows 7 in Windows Classic theme:
I have a CDialog where I am setting the title bar text and icon as
SetWindowText(_dialog->GetSafeHwnd(), "Example Name");
_dialog->SetIcon(AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME), TRUE);
This is correctly reflected in the Windows taskbar and in the alt-tab menu.
However in another CDialog the change is only completely showing in the taskbar: alt-tab has the changed icon, but no title text.
The title is not being set elsewhere.
If I then switch to an Aero theme, the titles correctly appear in the alt-tab menu. Switching back to Classic will show the title in the alt-tab menu, provided I had tabbed into them.
I'm not sure why they're behaving differently in different themes.
In Visual Studio, you can dock arbitrary panes to the main view in the center of the window:
In the above image, the Error List pane is being docked to the main view.
I'd like to do that with CDockablePanes in MFC. However, it appears that by default, docking panes to the main view isn't allowed. Is this possible with MFC? If so, how is it done?
Panes are normally docked to the CMainFrame, and they can be docked above the main view.
If you need to dock them inside your view they should be created (and docked to) in the CChildFrame.
Make sure to use .EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY); and EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
In case you are referring to converting a dockable pane to a tabbed document, right click on the pane header and select 'Tabbed Document'.
Also check out CDockablePane::ConvertToTabbedDocument and m_bCanCovertControlBarToMDIChild.
As shown in image that when we click on button1 or button2, set of images must be changed as follows with slideshow images.
I have a slider with thumbnails and buttons placed above the thumbnails as shown in image, if we press the buttons all the thumbnail and slide images must change according to buttons
I am developing a desktop app using MFC. The following image shows the current state of the app's window top part. The area marked in red is unnecessary and I want to remove it.
How can I remove that space or atleast change the color to match the rest of the window background?
More Info:
The App is using Ribbon UI. I have added the App button programmatically in onCreate of CMainFrame. Is it the bar that holds the Ribbon categories? I tried SetMenubarState(AFX_MVS_HIDDEN) thinking it was the menu bar, but that didn't work. Just changing its color is also acceptable.
Update:
I have managed to change the color of that ribbon strip, and removed the caption bar I used for showing the 'add' button. Now I need to figure out how to place the 'Add' button on the right side of the ribbon strip.
