Hello, I’d like to add an icon in a RibbonTabPage, I’d tried to use the DefaultSmallImage (like TabControl component), but it doesn’t work ?
Why ? Thanks,

When will it be available ? Since this new version, how can we use the Ribbon without RibbonTabPage (we’d like to remobe the RibbonTagPage and add a TabControl instead). ? Regards,
|

Unfortunately, images in ribbon tabs are not supported at the moment. We’ll include this feature in the next version.

I am not able to upgrade to the recent release successfully. I get major errors when trying to run any program project after upgrade but not before upgrade. I also got this same problem when upgrading from v3.1 to v3.6. If I remove the upgrade and go back to the previous release, everything is perfectly fine.
When I run the installer, I am told "A previous version of the product is currently installed on this computer. Press Yes to uninstall it or No to quit the installation."
If I click No, of course the installer quits. If I click Yes, the previous release is removed and the new release is installed. However, this is the problem I continuously have with your product.... My application is now COMPLETELY useless and has to be REWRITTEN.
I don’t have the time or the energy to rewrite the application from scratch with each upgrade. I shouldn’t have to rewrite anything. As a note, when I do any upgrade, VB.NET 2005 Pro is not running/launched when the upgrade is going through.
The error I get when launching my application project in VB.NET 2005 Pro on every single form is the following:

Thank you for the reply. We are happy that your project works with Elegant Ui version 3.7. Actually you shouldn’t have to delete the old references because when the new version
is installed all you need is to rebuild the solution. Thought the assemblies location has changed, they are always stored in the GAC, so the compiler would find them anyway.
As for changing the application look, it is because the default theme is now different that that used for previous version. This is necessary to get the ribbon look more consistent with
new Backstage View component. You can easily get back to the Office2007Blue theme by dropping the new component ThemeSelector from the toolbox onto the form and selecting
it from the list. If you still have any questions just contact us.

1) Did you tried to build the project before opening the designer?
I tried to upgrade with both VB.NET 2005 open and closed, same situation as explained in my previous post.
I did not build the application before or after the upgrade. I’ll go try that now....
2) Did you specified any explicit Elegant Ribbon version in the project reference?
If I go into the project reference (prior to the upgrade), I do see the reference for v3.6 for Elegant.Ui.Common and Elegant.Ui.Ribbon but I didn’t specify it myself. As soon as you drop the control on the form, it’s automatically referenced.
I closed out VB.NET 2005 Pro and then ran the installer for v3.7. Once this was completed, I launched the project and I go the same issues as outlined in my previous post. I then went into the project reference and found that the version for Elegant.Ui.Common and Elegant.Ui.Ribbon is 0.0.0.0.
I then clicked on ’Reference Paths’ button > ... > and navigated to C:\Program Files\FOSS Software Inc\Elegant Ribbon\bin\ and the two DLL files didn’t show up.
I then went into Start > Run > C:\Program Files\FOSS Software Inc\Elegant Ribbon\bin\ and only see Elegant.Ui.ToolboxControlsInstaller.dll and three other folders.
I then went into C:\Program Files\FOSS Software Inc\Elegant Ribbon\bin\Core\ and found the two DLL files that should have been referenced (Elegant.Ui.Common.dll and Elegant.Ui.Ribbon.dll)
If I click on the ’Unused References’ button, I am told:
"Project compilation failed. Cannot determine unused references."
I then deleted the two references to Elegant.Ui.Common and Elegant.Ui.Ribbon in the project references area due to the version being 0.0.0.0 and then tried to rebuild the solution. Everything for your controls is now ’Not Defined’ or ’Not Declared’. Expected because of no reference to Elegant.Ui.Common and Elegant.Ui.Ribbon
I then tried to readd the references to Elegant.Ui.Common.dll and Elegant.Ui.Ribbon.dll within C:\Program Files\FOSS Software Inc\Elegant Ribbon\bin\Core\ and I was able to. The version now being 3.7.0.0.
I then saved everything and rebuilt the solution with success. I am now able to open the forms in the Solutions Explorer without issue and when trying to F5 the application, the application runs but the title bar of the MDI form doesn’t look the same as it did in v3.6. frmMain.vb is completely different also.

Unfortunately the stack trace does not contain enough information that could help us to find the source the problem.
We have no similar issue reports.
We tried to migrate quite big VB .NET application from 3.6 to 3.7 version and everything worked fine.
We need to know the following:
1) Did you tried to build the project before opening the designer?
2) Did you specified any explicit Elegant Ribbon version in the project reference?
3) Could you provide us with some simplest possible test project reproducing this problem?

Please use the following code (this code example implemented in RibbonMDI sample):
ToggleButton tb = new ToggleButton();
tb.Text = document.Text;
tb.Tag = document;
tb.RadioGroupName = "MDISwitcher";
tb.PressedChanged += DocumentToggleButton_PressedChanged;
openDocumentsPopupMenu.Items.Add(tb);
private void DocumentToggleButton_PressedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ToggleButton tb = (ToggleButton)sender;
if (tb.Pressed)
{
DocumentForm document = tb.Tag as DocumentForm;
if (document == null)
return;
document.Focus();
}

Hi:
I have an MDI Parent and when I have the WindowState property of the MDIChild form set to Maximized, an item appears in the control box that looks like an up arrow. When this is clicked on, the Elegant.Ui.Ribbon minimizes or maximizes. Where can I find this control so that when the Elegant.Ui.RibbonTabPage is clicked on, it does the same thing? Thanks!

You can use the Ribbon.Minimized property for that.

It seems that the standard windows controls will not work in the backstage view. I have tried button and gridview and neither show I have also tried using the Elegant Grid and that also does not display. I tried putting an Elegant UI panel in the Backstage view and then put the controls into that but it also does not work. Is there a trick or somthing that I am missing to get more then buttons and labels to work in teh backstage view? If this is "just how it works" is there a published list of what controls will work so I can plan my UI around that? What I was trying to do is in my main window of the application, the ribbon is on top, status bar on bottom and the body is a docked (full) panel. Based on selections in the ribbon, I load a user control and put it into the panel. Once of the controls has has the Backstage view as it’s contents and that is where I am trying to show a grid on the left pane and have related data on the right side. Thanks Eric

Please, download the updated version of Elegant Ui from our web-site. The Backstage View now supports standard controls. By default, this feature is turned off by performance reasons, you can enable it by adding one lien of code as follows:
public MainForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
backstageView1.SetStyleEx(ControlStylesEx.ChildrenUseHandle, true);
}
Please, let us know if you have any questions.

The controls you meant are not supported inside the Backstage View at the moment. The good news: we are going to implement them this week. The first verson should appear at Thursday. We will let you know when the new version is available so you could use it.

Hey,
I am using version 3.7 of Elegant Ribbon, and Visual Studio 2008 (C#) on Vista 32bit. As i start adding controls to the ribbon my designer view starts getting slower and slower to the point where it takes forever to open and forever to move/add new items. The biggest place i notice this is the status bar. As i start adding labels to the status bar the designer mode gets less and less responsive to the point it crashes when i try and add any more labels. And that happens at around 5-7 labels on the status bar. Most of the projects I am working on, the designer view is getting to the point it is unusable.
Is there any sort of tips and tricks to keeping the designer mode working smoothly? Some of your samples are more advanced than the stuff i am creating, so i dont exactly see what it is causing it to slow down so bad. My computer is a decently fast quad core, so im pretty sure thats not the problem.
Thanks,
Anthony

Ribbon tabs can be switched with combination ALT + shortcut key. Problem is that this switching works also with Alt Gr + shortcut key and this is wrong. For example, if you have shortcut "ALT + V" for View ribbon tab, and on some other tab you have textbox for entering email address and users enters Alt Gr + V for @ character, tab is switched :) I already reported this bug but it is still there.

Hello Support Team, vb2005, Elegant Ribbon 3.7 I have a BackstageView with 3 pages and 4 Buttons: Button "New"
Page "Open"
Page "Save"
Button "Edit"
Page "Help"
Button "Options"
Button "Exit" when I open the BackstageView the Page "Save" is selected. 1. How can I set Page "Open" as the default Page, when I open the BackStageView? 2. How can I select a Page via Code (vb2005) if I open the BackStageView? Thanks Best Regards
Gunter

Please use BackstageView.CurrentPage property for both cases.

I would like to place a TextBox (of course, Elegant.Ui.TextBox) inside a GroupBox so it would be in a center (vertically). If I try to change it’s location (.Location) it changes right back. Here’s a screenshot for a better understanding.

The RibbonGroup uses the flow layout so all the controls are grouped in columns. Though you can achieve your goal by setting a custom margin to the text box as follows:
textBox1.Margin = new Padding( 1, 25, 1, 5 );

Hi: I am using the Elegant.Ui.Label and also the System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox and I would like to know how I can apply the ForeColor of the Elegant.Ui.Label to the ForeColor of the System.Windows.Forms.Groupbox? The code I am trying to use is not changing anything for me. Any ideas? For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf ctrl Is System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox Then
’Take the ForeColor of the Elegant Label and apply it to the
’Windows Forms GroupBox ForeColor.
ctrl.ForeColor = Elegant.Ui.Label.DefaultForeColor
End If
Next ctrl

Actually, the DefaultForeColor property is not part of the Elegant.Ui.Label class. It belongs to the System.Windows.Forms.Control class.

If I type in Elegant.Ui.Label., intellisense gives me the property DefaultForeColor in the drop down menu. How am I going to be able to assign the ForeColor of the Elegant.Ui.Label to the ForeColor of the System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox?

You can do that by using the following code instead: ControlSkin skin1;
Color color = Color.Empty;
if (SkinManager.TryGetSkin("Label", out skin1))
color = skin1.GetPaintInformation(ControlState.Normal).ForegroundColor;

Here is the code in VB.NET:
Dim skin1 As ControlSkin = Nothing
Dim color As Color = color.Empty
If SkinManager.TryGetSkin("Label", skin1) Then
color = skin1.GetPaintInformation(ControlState.Normal).ForegroundColor
End If
GroupBox1.ForeColor = color

Hi: If I use the Visual Basic TextBoxBase class, I can access the .SelectAll member for TextBox and MaskedTextBox without an issue. However, if I try to do the same thing with your control, I am unable to access the .SelectAll() member. Any ideas?
Thanks!

We have a bit different class hierarchy in Elegant Ui: ComboBox and NumericUpDown controls are also inherited from TextBoxBase class and it makes no sense for the latter two to have this method. Alternatively you can access this functionality as follows: Elegant.Ui.TextBoxBase myTextBoxBase = new Elegant.Ui.TextBox();
........
myTextBoxBase.TextEditor.SelectAll();

I need to add a multiline text box to my form. I can do it with the Visual Basic TextBox by setting the MultiLine property to true; however, I am unable to find this in the Elegant.Ui.TextBox properties window. Please advise,
Thanks in advance.

It it should work in the way you described. You will not have to redo your application.

When I upgraded from v3.1 to v3.6, it blew up my whole application. No control references could be found so I deleted my project and started fresh.

The only thing you should do is to update project references. There is no need to start the new project again.

The Elegant.Ui.TextBox does have the Multiline property. Which version of Elegant Ui are you using?

When attaching a context menu to a ribbon button, if the application is running on a secondary monitor, then the context menu pops up on the primary monitor. Is there a fix for this?

Hi Guys, Is there a zoom bar for the ribbon?. Traditionally this would go in Status bar in the Controls Area and get used to control the ’zoom’ on what is being displayed on the main form. Most of the ’opposition’ have one but I can’t find one in Elegant Ribbon. If you do not have one and do not intend to provide one, is there a suitable control ’out there’ that could be adapted?

The control (slider/track bar) will be available in version 3.7, which should be released within a week or so. See the screenshot below.

If you mean a ribbon tab page, just use the code below: ribbon1.CurrentTabPage = tabpageEmployee; If you mean a tab control: tabControl1.SelectedTabPage = tabpageEmployee;
