Hello,
I have c++ mfc mdi project. It uses ribbon. The application when run displays the QAT. We can manually add elements to the QAT when the application is run. When we send the application to other users they have to manually add elements to the QAT.
Is there a way I can add some elements to the QAT from in program or other than manual addition.
I also want to know where exactly the QAT configuration is stored. Is it in the registry if so where in the registry.
Hope I have been clear. Look forward to any thoughts or ideas.
QAT is Quick access tool bar that is displayed on the top of a ribbon based MFC application. Users can configure it to their needs by adding control elements like buttons and drop down.

Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh

What I have tried:

Don't know what to try. Unless I know where and how the QAT information is stored.

What is a QAT, and how are we supposed to know where its configuration is stored when it is obviously something which is specific to your solution?

Don't use TLAs, people don't always know what you are talking about.

Something that demonstrates your superiority over the plebs. :)
