WPF ribbon control

Question

Hi,

Following this question from last year. I am checking two open source ribbon controls:

1. Fluent
2. Odyssey

Do you have any experience (good or bad) with any of them? or perhaps know of another open source ribbon control?

Answer 1

there is one included in the WPF toolkit dont know how good/bad it it. we use one that we bought.

Answer 2

I've been trialling the WPF toolkit. Bear in mind - it's not open source per se - you don't get the source code. However, I believe it is free for use etc.

It's reasonably easy to use and has some reasonable commanding support. The documentation is not particularly in-depth, but it looks good - same as the ribbon used in Office 2007 etc. and has a few themes.

I'd say give it a look before spending money on a third party commercial ribbon control.
