Thanks for posting the solution. I'm struggling with porting my app's UI
to FeaturePack and it has been one big frustration so far. The lack of
proper documentation is the killer.

Isn't that the truth?

I finally found a way to add menu items with images.

I was calling CMFCRibbonButton::SetMenu() to assign a menu to my button.
I found I could then use CMFCRibbonButton::AddSubItem(new
CMFCRibbonButton(...)) to add additional items to the menu. This worked
fine but, to my frustration, the images still did not appear. I even
found that if I included a large image, then the large image would show.
But not the small one!

Playing around, however, I found that if I leave out the call to
SetMenu() and simply add all menu subitems to the button, then my small
images do show.

So I ended up with the following:

CMFCRibbonButton *pButton;
pButton = new CMFCRibbonButton(ID_OPTIONS, _T("Tools"), 1, 1);
pButton->AddSubItem(new CMFCRibbonButton(ID_TRANSACTIONS_VIEWLOGFILE,
_T("View Log File"), 2));
pButton->AddSubItem(new CMFCRibbonButton(ID_TRANSACTIONS_DELETELOGFILE,
_T("Delete Log File"), 3));
pButton->AddSubItem(new CMFCRibbonButton(ID_TRANSACTIONS_VIEWRAWTRANS,
_T("View RAWTRANS.DAT...")));
pButton->AddSubItem(new CMFCRibbonSeparator(TRUE));
pButton->AddSubItem(new CMFCRibbonButton(ID_OPTIONS, _T("Options..."),
4));
pPanelTransactions->Add(pButton);

This seems to work great, and allows me to avoid the popup menu resource
altogether.
