Does anyone know if/when Infragistics will be adding an Office 2010 style to the ribbon control? I would especially like to have the same functionality as the "File" control that Office 2010 has. It's similar to the Windows 7 ribbon style, but the "File" menu opens to the size of the whole window.
I'm sure that we will add that functionality to the control at some point but currently its still not released nor have any updated ui guidelines been released so I really cannot say when we would have that available at this time.
Ok, do you know when the Windows 7 style ribbon will be available?
Still no answer..
This is extremely disappointing.
Office 2010 look ribbon and the Windows 7 Ribbon (in paint and WordPad) - we desperately need this as we are releasing a major version of our software this year and expect that Infragistics are up to date - as you always claim to be - we are unable to even ascertain if you are doing this version - if not we will be forced to move to other vendors who already support this such as Professional UI solutions - the one reason we have been using Infragistics for the last 8 years as they are always up to date - but it now appears things like Icons and WPF/ (which has a poor uptake) are more import rather than the mainstream.
I agree, Infragistics need to get up to speed on this. Other vendors and even open source projects are ahead!
I second the need for this request. We also need the Office 2010 ribbon.
Hello Stefan,
Thanks for reply,
Can you please give me demo project for that. because it is not working which you suggested.
Hello,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and I created a sample project for you with the functionality you want. Basically I handled the Loaded event of the ApplicationMenu and I set the Background and Caption’s Foreground in its handler. Please let me know if this helps you or you need further assistance on this matter.
Looking forward for your reply.
Hello Alex, i want to change the font color and background image and add text in menu like 'File'. how can i do this in 'scenic' theam.
Yes, it's the backstage mode I'm referring to. I'll go and request it.
I'd like to stick with using the Infragistics ribbon as we also use the dock manager and outlook bar, but with all the steps required to make it into what we want (or what it should have been / is in Office 2010) something like the Fluent Ribbon Toolkit might be easier to use.
I've just used it within a normal wpf window, I'll check out the XamRibbonWindow and have a look at the styles as well. Thanks for the advice!
I believe you are referring to the BackStage mode of the Application Menu. This is yet not supported, but you can request this as a feature here and we will try to include that as well in our toolset. Regarding the styling, we ship our default styles in the DefaultStyles directory in the Infragistics folder, so you can customize this from there or event create a custom backstrage functionality. Same is true for the space between the ribbon and window. Moreover, Have you tried it using it with a XamRibbonWindow?
