MFC: Ribbon user interface

Dear experts,

I have an MFC application in Visual Studio 2008. Is it possible to convert it to use Ribbon user interface without rewriting too much of code?

Thanks.

That is not going to be easy, since the characteristics of a ribbon are described by an accompanying XML file at compile time - see e.g. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/37777/Windows-7-Ribbon-Part-1-How-to-Integrate-a-Simple-.aspx ("Windows 7 Ribbon – Part 1 – How to Integrate a Simple Ribbon to your MFC Application?")

Thank you for your answer. It says it is for Windows 7, so it won't work with XP, will it?

OK, a negative answer is still an answer. Thanks.
