Still no region adapter for Ribbon in NCAL... any alternatives?

Gen posted over 14 years ago

Hi all,

Still there is no region adapter for the Ribbon control in NCAL... It has not been updated for awhile...

My question is what do you use for navigation if you develop using Prism. It looks like in this case you skip the Ribbon (unless you wrote your own region adapter for it) and resort to using basic WPF controls for navigation.

What are your approaches/solutions?

I've implemented your RegionAdapter for the RIbbonTab, but I'm a little confused on how my XAML should look. Do I register the entire ribbon control tab as the region? Can you provide a sample of your XAML markup?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

As you have implemented a RibbonTab Region Adapter, then you need to makea specific RibbonTab a Region, just like you do with the XamRibbon and the XamRibbonRegionAdapter:

   <igRibbon:XamRibbon x:Name="mainRibbon" cal:RegionManager.RegionName="MenuRegion"/>

where cal is the namespace :   xmlns:cal="http://www.codeplex.com/CompositeWPF"

So, for the RibbonTabItem it would look like this:

   <igRibbon:RibbonTabItem cal:RegionManager.RegionName="TabRegion"/>

You will also need to register the RegionAdapter in the Bootstrapper's ConfigureRegionAdapters method, like this:

protected override RegionAdapterMappings ConfigureRegionAdapterMappings()

   {

   RegionAdapterMappings regionAdapterMappings = base.ConfigureRegionAdapterMappings();

   regionAdapterMappings.RegisterMapping(typeof(XamRibbon), this.Container.Resolve<XamRibbonRegionAdapter>());

   regionAdapterMappings.RegisterMapping(typeof(RibbonTabItem), this.Container.Resolve<RibbonTabItemRegionAdapter>());

   return regionAdapterMappings;

   }

The in the Initialize method of the Module, you can add views to this Region:

public void Initialize()

   {

   this.regionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion("MainRegion", () => new MainViewModuleB());

   this.regionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion("MenuRegion", () => new MenuViewModuleB());

   this.regionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion("TabRegion", () => new ViewModel().Group);

   }
