I am using the Office 2007 Black theme for my RibbonWindow and really like all of the colors it uses. Here is the resource dictionary included in my ribbon window's resources. <ResourceDictionary Source="/RibbonControlsLibrary;component/Themes/Office2007Black.xaml"/> I would like to mirror the colors of this theme in my user controls....
This is what WordPad looks like in Windows 7: The ribbon is also in paint. Which leads me to think that the ribbon is "hidden" somewhere in a dll file that I could import into my C# apps. Is this true? If not how did Microsoft make the ribbon. Yes I'm aware that there are already companies who have made the ribbon for C# but I want ...
I don't see it in the beta, and I don't want to jump through ridiculous hoops (http://www.codeplex.com/wpf/Wiki/View.aspx?title=WPF%20Ribbon%20Preview). ...
I just played around with the new Delphi 2009 ribbon, added a few pages, groups and actionclients (large buttons) to it. I created some transparent 32x32px PNGs in Photoshop and put them into a TImageList (set to cd32bit). I added this list to the Actionmanager's Images property, to show them on the buttons. At designtime the icons in th...
I am using the WPF ribbon CTP from Microsoft. However, there is no sample. I am not sure where to start. The RibbonWindow does not have a property for the Ribbon. Does anyone have a sample that works? ...
Can anyone actually download the RibbonControlsLibrary from the MS Office UI Fluent Site? (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/aa973809.aspx) I fill in the form, sign it, enter a name of my application (test) and it then redirects to a page saying "Page Cannot Be Found" from the following URL http://microsoftio.partnersalesresources....
Basically, I have my own custom ribbon in a .dotm. I also have a 3rd-party ribbon with some buttons/functionality I would like to reference from my custom ribbon. I can access the XML for this 3rd-party ribbon. So, is it possible to reference this 3rd-party XML from my custom ribbon, so that I can have one of the 3rd-party's buttons on m...
I have a project that adds functionality to Microsoft Word using an XML Expansion Pack. Currently, when the document we give the customer is opened, it loads our pack, which executes the SmartDocInitialize method which adds things to the main menu and toolbar using Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBar.Controls.Add and the like. Without mod...
Often times convention is one of the most important design consideration for user interface. Usually the advice goes to do it like Microsoft does. This is for three reasons: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If your users expect to click on a floppy disk icon to save, don't change the icon (even though some of them may have never see...
Hi, 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 on...
I have downloaded the official office 2007 UI ribbon .dll, but now what? I am coding in VB.net. I do not know where to place this .dll, and I do not see any additional controls anywhere at all. The readme explains how to license your copy, which I have done. Now what? I am hoping to magically see the ribbon control in the list of compon...
I created a Word 2007 add-in project in C# that works fine on my box and a fellow developer's box. When we try to deploy the software to a blank box though, Word crashes hard (no exception thrown) when we start up a background thread. Here's the relevant code, in the Ribbon.cs file: private void startThread() { StreamWriter fout =...
I just discovered that the Delphi TRibbonComboBox doesn't have an item index, and it should. I'd like to fix this locally at least for the unit, and I think Delphi 2009 added a way to introduce new methods to an outside class without having to descent from the class, but I can't remember how. Is there a way to add 'function ItemIndex: ...
How do you read and write RibbonApplicationMenuBar recent items to a file or Inifile? The help file is not very helpful for getting at the list of recentitem strings to save and reload the recent items. I can add items to the recent items list by Ribbon1.AddRecentItem( APathFilename ) and open the file associated with the recent item w...
I'm trying to dynamically customize the built-in Ribbon Controls on an Office2007 ribbon by adding C# objects such as RibbonTab, RibbonGroup, RibbonControl to the Ribbon. I have been unsuccessfull in disabeling any existing built-in controls, however I can add my own group. Now i'm thinking that disabling or hiding existing ones not be...
I have tried lots of methods associated with RibbonApplicationMenuBar to prevent a user from selecting the RibbonApplicationMenuBar with a mouse until the projects settings are loaded from an inifile and a splashform closes. But nothing seems to work to make the RibbonApplicationMenuBar InActive until told otherwise. The help file show...

When going through a tutorial, the 'ribbon.ApplicationhMenu' always comes up on the left hand of the screen, rather than the right, as it does in Office 2007, Paint (on Windows 7), and WordPad (on Windows 7). Is there some way to change this? Thank you (Example of the issue is here http://cid-a45fe702de180b23.skydrive.live.com/self.a...
