I have a VS2015 application based around a Ribbon bar with numerous context menu's. The issue is how do I get the legacy menu item prompts to route the status bar derived from CMFCRibbonStatusBar.

Pre Ribbon bar these prompts were transparently mapped to CMFCStatusBar. Advice on how to activate/re-establish this facility under the Ribbon Bar environment would be appreciated.

  • I don't know, but I can advice you to put a breakpoint on `CFrameWnd::GetMessageString` and try to follow the code. – sergiol Aug 18 '16 at 14:25
  • CFrameWnd::GetMessageString() provided good advice and showed the messages being picked up within MFC but not displayed. Consequently reverted CMFCRibbonStatusBar to CMFCStatusBar and all worked fine again. – alman Aug 22 '16 at 05:45
  • I think you would need to implement the `SetWindowText` method on your "status bar derived from CMFCRibbonStatusBar" class. – sergiol Aug 27 '16 at 01:44
