Forum

In the FAQ, it states:

The following two assemblies that come with Elegant Ribbon must be available:

• Elegant.Ui.Common.dll


• Elegant.Ui.Ribbon.dll


• Silly question I’m sure, but what exactly does that mean?  I tried putting them in the same directory as my application and I also wrote an install that registers them in the GAC.  My program will still not run because it cannot find the dlls.  What do I need to do?


• Thanks!

Hi all,

i’am evaltuing your elegant ribbon. But i’ve not figured out who to localize the ribbon to german language. Can anybody help me?

Marcus

I have a example code, and instructions to show a Memory leak problem with the Elegant.Button. If it is already resolve a wish to receive the updated version or fix.

We have a licensed version.

If you the the example, please provide me instructions to send you the Vs 2005 project.

Best Regards

John Leyva

The leak happends with .net objects that aren’t collected becouse it just contains an Elegant.UI.Button, the button do not need to have events attached. I have a very simple isolated example of the problem. Initially I detected the problem throught the WinDbg.

I want to send this example, and maybe you have already a Fix, or it help you to find a solution or a Workaround.

 

Thank you for the test project. We run it and have not found any memory leaks when permanently creating and destroying the Elegant.Ui.Button. In the new 3.2 version we fixed some bugs related to the system resources utilization. We hope v.3.2 will be released tomorrow. So please check if the problem persists with the new version.

Did you follow exactly the steps in the readme.htm, becouse i just test it, and i see the same behavior. We expect that the life managment of the Elegant.Ui.Button be the same as the standard button, and what we see is that when it is contained, its parent can be collected, but with the stantard Button just the precense does not unable the gc of the parent control.

I will download and test the new version, i am not sure, but if we licence the version 3.1, we need to pay anything for the 3.2

Thanks

John

 

I tested today the version 3.2, and have the same behavior.

Please let me know if you follow exactly the instructions in the readme, and if you find something that must be do it with the Elegant controls to do the right managment. But initially for a button i expect just need to do the same managment that a standard button.

Regards

John

Hi,

There is any advance in this case?

Thanks

John

We finally resolved the memory management issue. Now your sample doesn’t show any leaks. Thank you for your help with this. You can download the updated version from this site. Do not forget to add the updated assemblies to the GAC. Thank you again.

We reproduced the reported bug so it should be fixed soon.We will notify you as soon as it is fixed. Thank you.

Would you send us the example to support@prof-uis.com? We will look into what may be wrong and provide a solution. Thank you.

Hi Guys

I’m having trouble getting a textbox to fire its Validating event when it is painted onto the Ribbon group.  Event works fine when the Textbox is on the main form.

 

 

 

TextBox1 - child of the Ribbon Group - Validating event doesn’t fire

this.textBox1 = new Elegant.Ui.TextBox();

...

this.rgTestValues.Controls.Add(this.textBox1);

...

this.textBox1.Id = "12bd7dea-0de1-4090-be45-94e77364bd6c";

this.textBox1.LabelText = "";

this.textBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(4, 2);

this.textBox1.Name = "textBox1";

this.textBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(106, 24);

this.textBox1.TabIndex = 0;

this.textBox1.Text = "textBox1";

...

this.textBox1.Validating += new System.ComponentModel.CancelEventHandler(this.textBox1_Validating_1);





Textbox2 - child of the form - Validating event does fire



this.textBox2 = new Elegant.Ui.TextBox();

...

this.Controls.Add(this.textBox2);

...

this.textBox2.Id = "04e75eb0-a77c-49ef-9352-6312373652e8";

this.textBox2.LabelText = "";

this.textBox2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(567, 241);

this.textBox2.Name = "textBox2";

this.textBox2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 21);

this.textBox2.TabIndex = 8;

this.textBox2.Text = "textBox2";

this.textBox2.Validating += new System.ComponentModel.CancelEventHandler(this.textBox2_Validating);

Any Ideas?

Michael

We are sorry, but it haven’t done yet. This will be done in the upcoming release.

Yes, we confirm that this event is not supported at the moment. We plan to implement it soon.

I’ve send the e-mail that have the project source to your technical support e-mail.

please check the problem and let me know the reason.

 

And I got another question -_-;;

If I buy the ribbon with source, then can I customize the QAT menu by replace the source at the part of QAT ?

 

Regards

yes. I checked the e-mail

And I saw a fail message to deliver.

It was because of the file type(zip)

so i changed the file type

please check the e-mail.

If I buy the ribbon with source, then can I customize the click event of the contextual tab button by replace at the part of the source

or overriding?

Does Elegant-Ribbon support WPF?

Thank you for your fast reply

I prepared question in below snapshot.

 

<!-- end clix_content -->

Dear elegant ribbon team,

    Now, as the subject says, can I use your controls like button/combobox... directly

in a winform?

    I did it, but I got problem. I put sereval elegant ribbon control to a form, then I used

the Form.ShowDialog to show the form. Everything went fine till I click ok to kill the

form, and exception happened saying that "error creating handle". I’m completely lost

here. Can you guys help me out. Thanks in advance.

Hello.

Before the Purchasing. I want to assure that wanted features is work

.

There is 3 Questions.

I think below snapshot is helpful

Question 1.

Ribbon Ui has contextual button. But I can’t find the click event.

there is no click event that available to edit.

I want to assign a action when I click the contextual button.

 

Question  2.

When I add the button In the RibbonTabPage. The first button is always Big.

I want to add small button that has a row in the RibbonTabPage

 

Question 3.

In my project. the RibbonTabPage has some space at the bottom.

I want tabpage to has no space at the buttom

 

it’s all.

please reply for this.

Hi,

the CheckedChange event of the radiobutton isn’t fired. So i have to do it with the click event. Maybe you can fix this in the next release.

Greetings

Ben

Hi folks,

maybe I haven’t found the option but when I add a button to the ribbon and add a defaultimage to the button I’m not able to change the size of the image. Even the width couldn’t be changed. It seems that the button zooms the image a selected as default image.

Are their any other possibilities to change the image size?

Thanks Ben

I can open the gallery popup menu programmatically using

gallery_Pics.Popup.Show();

but only after I have previously opened it with a mouse click.  Is this a bug, or am I missing something.

Thanks

You can use the Gallery.IsPopupOpen property instead. It should work.

Thanks, but that still has the same issue . . .

We confirm this issue and have fixed it already. Please request the fixed version by email.

I want to lock the current tab page when in editing mode, means don’t let user navigate away from the current tab page, how can I do this?

I know I can minimize the ribbon through, say, a button press by using the command

ribbon1.Minimized = true;

and it works fine.

However, when I try to minimize it inside the ribbon1_CurrentTabPageChanged function it goes to the "Temporarily displayed controls" state as shown in figure 2 of this link:

http://www.prof-uis.com/elegant-ribbon/feature-tour/dotnet_minimize_the_ribbon.aspx#@lt;/p>

I need it to look like figure 1.  Basically I’m trying to hide the ribbon for a certain tab.

Thanks

 

Although it is not the standard behavior, you can implement it like this:

private void ribbon1_PreviewMouseDown(object sender, Elegant.Ui.PreviewMouseEventArgs e)
{
           if (!ribbon1.Minimized)
           {
                System.Windows.Forms.Control control = ribbon1.GetChildAtPoint(e.Location);
                if (control != null && control.GetType().Name == "RibbonTab" 
                                 && control.Text == ribbonTabPage2.Text 
                                 && ribbon1.CurrentTabPage != ribbonTabPage2)
                {
                    e.Handled = true;
                    ribbon1.Minimized = true;
                }
            }
}

First, you should handle the ribbon’s PreviewMouseDown event. As you can see in the code above, the ribbonTabPage2 is an instance of RibbonTabPage and, when selected, it minimizes the ribbon.

Hi,

is it possible to subclass ElegantRibbon controls?

MSDN (cit.): All the parts [of a class] must use the partial keyword.

Do you declare ER classes as partial?

If so, I would like to globally override PopupMenu.OnShowing - can you explain how to do it, please?

 

Okay, this is my mistake, I should derieve from PopupMenu and then override

Anyway, is there any way to add some custom global behaviour to buttons’ PopupMenus?

I’d like to disable some PopupMenu’ items depending on some specific conditions, like user name.

You can enable/disable any of the controls in the popup menu using the Enabled property of the base class. For instance:

Elegant.Ui.PopupMenu popupMenu1 = new Elegant.Ui.PopupMenu();
Elegant.Ui.Button button1 = new Elegant.Ui.Button();
button1.Text = "Some text";
popupMenu1.Items.Add(button1);

Then you can switch the enabled/disabled button state somewhere in your code in the following way:

button1.Enabled = false;
