.NET WPF Ribbon 2010 .net 4.0 Does Not Work 3.5 Does
Jul 4, 2011
I just installed Microsoft Ribbon for WPF 2010 on 2 different windows 7 boxes. If I make a .net 3.5 project it works fine but a .net 4.0 it does not.I can load the sample ribbon application and it works but when I drag the ribbon controls over they just make a transparent box. I notice it does not make the XAML correct. Here is the code, 4.0 on top then 3.5 below it. Is there some setting or option I need to change?
I was wondering if it is possible to use the WPF Ribbon in windows forms(they added it in .net 4). I know about the ElementHost Control which works fine for created controls, but it doesn't seem to be able to host default controls, I could create a wpf control and put the ribbon in, but that seems like a terrible hack.(And lots of work since there are lots of controls related to the ribbon)
I am using VB.Net (.Net 4) and Outlook 2007 (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook) to send mass emails to clients on a monthly basis and the text is pre-defined into a HTML file which is parsed.Since there are chances of errors, we are putting it as outlook templates. But we need to put some special tags in the body, for which I want to put a button in the main ribbon of the "MailItem" object (see attached image).I have managed to put the buttons in the "add-ins" menu but I want it right there in the front area.
I have stumbled upon a open source ribbon control (here) that looks perfect for my little project at work.
My problem is that I cannot get it to build in VB.Net 2010 Express Edition. I created a new project with the standard form1.vb. I then added the reference to ribbon dll. But I get errors when trying to build the app. I have attached a screenshot with the error.
I am creating a ribbon for an Office application using VB.NET in Visual Studio2010. I drag an edit box onto the ribbon but am unable to resize it. How would I do that? I want the user to be able to enter and see up to about 20 characters. StringSize does not do the trick.
how can i add ribbon control in my visual studio 2010 ultimate toolbar , i m used vb.net and i have also try download ribbon for wpf and install it and right click on toolbar chose item and in wpf tab i select ribbon but its not working and i cant find the ribbon control.
I want to develop a project in vb and I want to insert a ribbon. How can I do it? I should create it using classes or I can find something like an Add-On or something like when you will create for the first time graphics or you want to create for the firsttime an export to excel button?
I have an application that has multiple UI layouts, sometimes on tabs, sometimes the occasional separate form.I recently bought a pack of UI elements, and I'd like to use a ribbon control as the main navigation. For the most part I want the tabs on the ribbon to function like your everyday tabcontrol. The problem is that the ribbon tabs don't each have their own page for you to lay out your controls like the normal tabcontrol does.So right now I have the ribbon control at the top of an MDI form, and instead of using multiple tab pages I have many borderless forms, and when I click on a tab of the ribbon, I maximize the appropriate form and bring it to the front. This creates the illusion of tab pages by eliminating the control boxes of the child forms.
I have searched all over the net and found a lot of resources but seems like they are pretty high level for me to understand. I want to use Ribbon in place of tabcontrol. Can anyone here just tell me how to achieve it with an example. if you are referring to somewhere and if it need to add some dll or class do tell me how to do that.
RibbonGroupsPanel RegisterStarLayoutProvider and UnregisterStarLayoutProvider accepts only IProvideStarLayoutInfo instances. Parametername: starLayoutInfoProvider
I'm creating an Microsoft Office 2010 add-in ribbon with a bunch of controls on it. I am able to add things like buttons, TextBoxes, and Labels. :-) I am not, however, able to add the one control I need, which is a DateTimePicker.
I have been searchingall day to find out it, but did not find the best way, all but I found one forvb. That framework can not beused on 4, but can be used in the framework 3.5 and below.
I was wondering if there were any free ribbon controls for vb.net, and if there are not, how I could go about making my own. I don't want to pay $300 or more for a professional one...and I would really like to add one to my project.
What would be the best solution for finding/making one?Here is my google search I tried, I could only find one for c#. If possible, I would like one which is the closest to the one used in Office 2007.
I am looking for a free ribbon control with buttons and such.I really like devcomponents controls but they are too expensive for my little project. I dont mind the $200 but I would have to pay the $2000 for my project. I really just want a good looking ribboncontrol where I can do tabitems, groups and buttons with dropdowns.
1. I have button tugllet. I click the button and save file. I want - when I open the file, to see the button preesed (like "bold" button), how am I do this?
I've added a ribbon bar to the top of my main form using the DotNetBar and the problem is that it shows a black rectangle area instead of the default blue color. This only happens when I am using Windows 7 aero and is not maximized.
I'm using VB 2008, and I have created a Ribbon (Visual Designer) Add-In for excel 2007.When the user clicks a "Save" button, that was created at design time, this buttons click event prompts the user for the new file name...then saves the workbook.then uses the new file name as the label for a dynamically created button that is placed in Menu1, on Ribbon1...all of this works just fine.The problem is, this dynamically created button in Menu1 disappears when excel is restarted. So, I setup user scope settings in an attempt to save these dynamically created buttons.The settings properties are as follows:
Name = RibbonSettings Type = Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.RibbonMenu Scope = User[code]....
The problem is, this seems to lock Menu1 and the dynamically created button never gets added to Menu1. Without this, the button is added to Menu1 just fine, but disappears upon restart.How can I save these dynamically created buttons in Menu1 on Ribbon1?
I made a devexpress ribbon and have a ribbon page for dynamic controls which gets added by the end-user. I would like to know how to save it when the form closes, so the next time the user opens he/she will have the control. Since devexpress ribbon control doesn't have RibbonControl1.SaveLayoutToXml(), is it possibe to do it?
