I am running Elegant Ribbon 3.1 and am having this Message at run time

"You are using an evalution copy of the Elegant Ribbon."

how can i fix that ?

I am developing in Vb.net 2005.

Quite a strange question, because if you had a license for it, ytou would also have that information?!?!?!

Anyhow here’s the info:

To disable the background window indicating that an evaluation copy of Elegant Ribbon is used, just specify the license key in your code before the first use of the ribbon:



[C#]



[STAThread]

private static void Main()

{

   Elegant.Ui.RibbonLicenser.LicenseKey =

      "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX";

   Application.Run(new MainForm());

}



[VB.NET]



Imports Elegant.Ui



Public Class MainForm

   Shared Sub New()

      Elegant.Ui.RibbonLicenser.LicenseKey =

         "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"

   End Sub

End Class

You will of course have to replace the X’s with your own license code.

I’m using 2 Elegant.Ui.RadioButton objects inside a Elegant.Ui.GroupBox

The first Button is checked as default. When selecting the second button, i would expect, like in standard Forms versions, the first button to be unchecked.
But both buttons are now checked.

Is this a known problem?

In order to achieve the expected behavior, you should set the RadioButton.RadioGroupName property to the same value for both instances inside your GroupBox as follows:

radioButton1.RadioGroupName = radioButton2.RadioGroupName = "RadioGroup1";

Elegant Ribbon - Calendar Control

We are using the trial edition to see if the Calendar Control will work for our application.  I trying to see if I can color code certain days (Holidays - Red, Busy Days - Yellow, Locked Days - Blue - these dates are not ranged but scattered throught the calendar year).  In the calendar control that comes with visual studio it does not allow you to change the background for that particular day, will your controll allow that.  I have tried using the daystyles but have failed to make it happen. Do you have any samples or further documentation other then the one page listed under featured articles?

Greetings--

If I do the following:

- put an Elegant.UI.Panel onto a Ribbon bar,

- then put a multiline textbox or richtextbox inside the panel

- everything works as expected except the cursor is invisible. ShowCaret / HideCaret WIN API calls do not help.

This is related to an earlier discussion about multiline text boxes within the ribbon. We need that functionality, Windows.Forms controls work, but it would great to be able to see the cursor. Please help.

Thank you. I have the latest, 4.2.

I am updating my applications to Aero look for Win Vista and 7 and I am having trouble with some of the elegant controls, for example:

All button text is painted transparent. I have tried the obvious such as changing different colors, etc. with the same result.

The screenshot above is obtained by adding a few elegant ui controls to the somewhat well known MSDN example from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163435.aspx . How do I configure elegant UI controls to look properly? Thank you,

I can set the Tag property of an Elegant.Ui.Gallery item image in the Gallery Item Collection Editor, but when I try to read the image Tag in code it returns null.

In my code the gallery item is obtained using

Elegant.Ui.GalleryItem item = (Elegant.Ui.GalleryItem)BulletsGallery.Items[BulletsGallery.Items.IndexOf(BulletsGallery.SelectedItem)];

This returns the item as expected, but reading the image Tag using

item.Image.Tag

returns null (the image is not null).

Could you explain why this is please. I am using ribbon v 4.2. 

Many thanks.

Hi,

i commented on this request:
http://www.prof-uis.com/elegant-ribbon/tech-support/forum/no-autoscroll-on-elegantuitabpage-65428.aspx

as it wasn’t showing up as a new entry, i just wanted to make sure that it isn’t overlooked.
Is there a way to get this workaround, which you mentioned in this thread?

thx,

Helmut

You should try a transparent Elegant.Ui.Panel as an internediate container between your controls and the tab page. Elegant.Ui.Panel supports scrolling since version 3.8. Until that version there is no visually consistent way to use scrolling functionality.

I don’t want user to be able to minimize the ribbon, so I need to disable the default context menu on the Ribbon, how can I do so?

If you want to disable ribbon minimization by the user, you should use the Ribbon.AllowMinimizing property.
