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.

I’m using multiple line text box in Ribbon. But no matter which value I set to AcceptsReturn, the new line can not be created using ’Enter’ key 

The multiline text box is not supported in the Ribbon. Sorry for this inconvenience.

Is there any plan to support that? I need that functionality as well.

Thank you!

Just tested, multiline textbox it works fine on a form but not in the ribbon

I have found that when set Multiline to true, there are one more issue as well - if I put some text in the multiline textbox, then switch ribbon tab and switch back to the tab where I was previously, the text box can not be focused. When I click the textbox, the text in it disappear. Seems like there are a lot of issues of multiline text box in Ribbon

The Enter key is captured by the Ribbon class instead of the text box. Is there a way to walk around this?

Seems like the ’Enter’ key is not captured by the textbox at all. I wonder where does the enter key gets processed?

I am trying to add images to a elegant.ui.combobox but cannot figure out how to proceed.

I can add items but cannot associate images with these individual items.

Thanks,

Please use the ComboBox.ItemImagePropertyName and SampleComboBox.ItemHeight properties. Their usage is illustrated in the Controls sample(DataEntryControlsPage.cs).

1: I have installed elegant ui ribbon 3.8 and it works fine. but now i have installed version 4.2 and now when i want to open my previous project, visual studio crashes. (then i went to 3.8 version again and it works fine). what can be reason of it?

2: if I will buy license for 4.2 version it will work for version 3.8 too?

We have observed that when when using our software (with a recently integrated Ribbon) on Windows XP, a NullReferenceException is thrown from inside the message loop, which causes the application to crash. We are using v4.2 of the Elegant Ribbon. Here is the stack trace:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

As you can see, it seems to implicate the Ribbon framework here. (In the top two lines, there were some weird characters--presumeably obfuscated class/method names--that did not paste through.)

We are still working on figuring out exactly what action is triggering it and what steps can be used to reproduce it. However, it has reproduced on each of the Windows XP systems we have tried it on so far, and none of the computers running Vista or 7. It seems to be somewhat random, as it has been observed to occur anywhere from once every 4 hours to 5 times in one hour. When the Ribbon is turned off in our software, it no longer occurs.

Any idea what might be going on here? We’re still trying to get a better understanding of it, but given that it’s happening in the Ribbon internals, it’s hard for us to debug. Any help would be appreciated.

I downloaded Elegant Ribbon 4.2 and it seems that even if I put a FormFrameSkinner onto the form, the title bar and the control boxes don’t change at all. But in the designer I did see that it has changed. What’s going on here? Why it’s OK in design mode, not in runtime?

Hi Guys,

These controls appear to be mssing the usual BeginUpdate() and EndUpdate() methods.

If this is by design, how would you load a couple of thousand items without the box continually updating?

John

Hi, for the next version will have tabbed mdi? I need this component and want it to be as good as the navigation bar, I expect new features in the navigation bar.


Roberto

I try to download new version Elegant ribbon, but my antivirus show me virus message. Please check Elegant Ribbon v.4.2 for .NET and tell me when you get the version without the viruses.....

I’m using Elegant Ribbon 4.2 and getting this error on DEBUG mode:

An unhandled exception of type ’System.InvalidOperationException’ occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll
Additional information: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control ’’ accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on

Has anyone experienced similar problem? Is there a solution for that?

VS.Net 2010 SP1 and project version is .Net 3.5

Thank you

Hello,

I figured out that the problem happens when I use Elegant Ribbon with another third part GIS control. I will try send you stack trace.

Regards

We have upgraded to the latest version of Elegant Ribbon (v 4.2). Everything works fine on my PC where my designer is. However, when I make a build and download it at a client, the program does not start, because the Elegant Ribbon dll’s are not registered. Any advice?

The skinner makes some of the forms a little smaller, cutting off components. We are using Elegant Ribbon v3.2. Is this a known bug? Or are we missing a setting?

Regards ~ Juan

We have 300p plus forms in the program, so that’s not an option.

Thank you. We have upgraded.

Hi

when i insert a togglebutton in a group it fits the whole group height.

When i insert one more togglebutton it appears at the right side of the previous one.

How can i place two or more togglebutton one over the other in a single column?

thanks

Hi, I suggest to members of the forum to propose features that are put to the vote, and then analyzed by the Foss company.



My proposal is this: Have a Tabbed MDI and control groups of tabs in the next version.

Roberto

I suggest an eyedropper be added to the Color Picker control, allowing the user to pick a custom color from the desktop.

Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider implementing this feature.

How can I use the property grid to populate my own object class?
Also would it be possible to change the values in runtime?

do you have any source code example?

Hi,

i have a problem about disabling ApplicationMenu.

rbnToolbar.ApplicationButtonEnabled =

True

This instruction disables the button but if i click over it ApplicationMenu still opens.

Can you help me?

Thanks

Marco

Sorry

i posted a wrong instruction,

of course i used this one:

rbnToolbar.ApplicationButtonEnabled = False

In this picture you can see the problem: the button is disabled but the menu pop up.

We have checked this functionality, and it appears to work properly on our side. In addition, if you want the Application Button to be disabled, please make sure that you have assigned the False value instead of True to the mentioned property.

Where can I find the navigation bar reference or even better code samples?

Is it possible to change the color of the progress bar from the standard Green. Setting the forecolor and the style appears to make no difference
