In your CMainFrame class declare the ribbon button:

private:
    CMFCRibbonApplicationButton m_wndRibbonButton;

Then in the OnCreate method, set the button visibility and assign it to the ribbon bar:

m_wndRibbonButton.SetVisible(FALSE);
m_wndRibbonBar.SetApplicationButton(&m_wndRibbonButton, CSize());
