Using Visual Studio 2015, C++ and trying to debug the Ribbon UI.


I am probably just missing something obvious... I think I remember being able to do so some time ago.

I have trying to debug and step into some Microsoft code and the debugger just won't let me.

The code in question is the CMFCRibbonGallery code which is under

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\atlmfc\src\mfc\afxribbonpalettegallery.cpp


I am in DEBUG mode and debug info is "Program Database"

I can put a break point on the line in question, but I cannot step in, and if I try to set break points in that file it says "... no symbol has been loaded for this document..."

Any hints ?
Thanks.

Max.

What I have tried:

I tried different project settings

To be able to debug a dll you need PDB files (Program Database) and source code...
If you have both all left is to configure VS: Specify Symbol (.pdb) and Source Files in the Visual Studio Debugger[^]
