I have new Visual Studio 2010 Premium. But I haven’t Elegant libraries in "Add reference..." dialog now.

During which Elegant is in GAC and integrated in Visual Studio toolbox.

Target framework: .Net Framework 4.0. System is Windows Vista Business. Elegant version is 3.6.

How I can add reference to Elegant libraries? Thanks.

when i run the EXE, the splash window appeare then failure

i dont know what is the problem

I wish you can hekp me

Thank you for reporting the problem. Could you try the following pack of Elegant Ribbon samples?

ElegantRibbon-AllSamples-v.3.6.zip

After downloading it, you should unpack it to a local folder. Then run the RibbonUISample and let us know if the problem occurs.

Thanks for reply

I have tried it, but it didn’t work at all, even the splash window didn’t appeare.

Expecting your reply.

I know that maybe gallery can serve as a list box in a way, but I still want a dedicated listbox control

Hello,

when using a SplitButton contained in a RibbonGroup, the ButtonKeyTip is never shown. But when pressing the defined key the KeyTip executes the right command.

The DropDownKeyTip is orking fine.

Can you fix this problem? Thanks.

Hi,

We’ve been experiencing problems when using a bound ComboBox in a ribbon, ever since upgrading to Ribbon 3.5 - and it has not been resolved in version 3.6.

TeamsViewOperationsComboBox.DataSource = FlowManager.Instance.OperationsBindingSource;
TeamsViewOperationsComboBox.DisplayMember = "OperationName";

The ComboBox is bound to a BindingSource with an underlying Bindable List of objects. During initialization this list is empty and it is later populated with objects. It appears the ComboBox is not aware of changes to the list and doesn’t update its items. When we use Ribbon 3.4 it works perfectly well.

Thanks,
Roy.

The issue is now confirmed. Thank you for the sample. We have already started preparing a fix and will provide you with it as soon it is ready. Meanwhile as a workaround, you can move the initialization code from the form contsructor to the Form.OnLoad method.

I created a grid and I have filled with CExtGridCellNumber type cells.

I have some questions about...

1) How to change the type of numerical data of this type of cell (ex. int, double) before placing a value in the cell?

2) How to obtain data directly to the type, for example if we have a CExtGridCellNumber with integer data, is possible obtain directly the integer value of the cell? Or you can only get as text and then convert it?

3) If the cell is of type CExtGridCellNumber, for example with double data, when someone type characters, how alert the user that only actual data type are accepted, is there a function that checks for incoming data type?

4) Is there a function that checks if a numerical value is within certain limits?

5) The grid have iterators of cells? To use it to extract data from the grid to another container ...

When I try to hook up a command to the DialogLauncherButtonCommand for a ribbon group, it never gets executed.  I tried it for both the DataChanged and Executed scenarios.

If I hook up code to the DialogLauncherButtonClick events, it works fine.

I’ve just updated Elegant Ribbon from v. 3.5 to 3.6 and tried to apply the new Office 2010 themes.

When I run my application, it looks like this:

But this happens only with the new themes. The old ones like 2007 work fine.

Could you please help me?

Thank you very much.

If a user adds buttons to the QAT, how do you make those changes persistent?  Your samples behave properly - added buttons remain on the QAT when you restart the app.   I must be missing something, but I just can’t figure out how you do it.

Don’t work PreviewMouseDoubleClick event in Elegant.Ui.Gallery. Bug or feature? :)

Informativeness level is "Expanded". Gallery placed at the another form (not the ribbon). Interaction mode is "Selection".

Another question... How can I get item coordinates (left and top) for current Gallery.SelectedItem?

Currently you cannot obtain the item’s rectangle. But we agree that it can be useful and will add this option in the next version.

Please clarify what informativeness the gallery is set to and where it is placed (on the from or inside the ribbon). You can also send us a screenshot illustrating the gallery state.

I am having trouble getting the ribbon control to work in vs 2010.  Quickaccess toolbar placement mode fails. Any Ideas?

Elegant Ribbon can be used with .NET Framework 2.0 or later versions of the framework including v.4.0. The reason it doesn’t work with VS2010 properly is that we added full support for it only in v.3.6, which is coming this week.

Meanwhile you can workaround this and make v.3.5 working with VS 2010 in this way:

1. Select Project | Properties

2. Select the Application tab and change the value of the Target Framework combo-box from .NET Framework 4 Client Profile to .NET Framework 4 or select another option that is not restricted to client profile. Again as we mentioned above the full support of all profiles will be available in version 3.6.

When I maximize a from that has the elegant ribbon, it goes to full screen mode.  Is there a way to maximize it without covering the windows task bar?

Using c# on an XP machine.

We already fixed some problems related to this issue in the previous versions. What version of Elegant Ui are you using?

Now I am using v3.6. Do you say that this was an issue in v3.5.

Dexter

Sorry. We fixed this bug after version 3.6 was released. You can download an updated assembly that should resolve the issue. We sent this same assembly to Mark and it seemed to fix the problem.

Thanks for the response and the updated assembly. I will wait for an official release of the elegant ribbon component. Until then it is possible to tell me how to reproduce the problem in a constant manner, because until now this problem occurred only by accident, I could not reproduced exactly. This will help me see the problem now and to see if the problem is fixed when the new release is available and to see if there are no conflicts with other products I am using.

Best regards,

Dexter

Unfortunately there is no exact way of reproducing this bug. It appeared on some machines and didn’t on others.

Still having the same issue.  I have Windows XP, Version 5.1, SP3. 

Tried it on a couple of machines.  Same problem on both.

What you have reported looks like an issue but we failed to reproduce it. Could you let us know if your task bar in auto hide mode? Does this problem happen with our sample applications? Could you send us a screenshot demonstrating the issue? Do you have the task bar’s "Always on top" turned on on your machine?

Your sample apps behave the same way.

Task bar is set to "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows"

"Auto Hide" is off.

Hi Mark,

I am investigating the same problem. The only difference is that on my machine this is not so easy to reproduce. Did you find any answer or solution to it? Please let me know

Best regards,

Dexter

Hello,

You said "find the Command property in the Properties pane and click the ellipsis button in order to invoke the Commands Designer dialog" in your tutorial "Using commands".

I use visual studio 2008 pro. There is not ellipsis button near the command property and I can’t invoke commands designer. Is there something special to do after the installation of elegant ribbon for making commands designer available ? Insert an another reference to some dll in the project ?

When i load your samples projects I can see a commandEventsDataSet.xsd in the project. When I create a new project this does not appears.

Best regards

Just checked the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) with the gacutil tool, and Elegant.Ui.Design is there.  Still no ellipsis.

I have the same issue.  What is a GAC?

Thank you for reporting the issue. Could you check if the Elegant.Ui.Design assembly is in the GAC? It must be there so that the designer can work properly with commands.

Yes, it’s there but the version number is 3.4. I use 3.5 version and all the others Elegant..UI assemblies are 3.5 versionned in the GAC. Is that the problem ?

It was a setup program issue, which happened on some machines. Please download this updated installer that fixes this bug.

It’s all rights, the commands designer works. Thank you.

I am considering using Elegant Ribbon for my app. I am interested in hearing any pros or cons that users may be willing to offer. Also, what drove your decision to use this solution when compared to others? Thanks. SG

As an independant developer, we have found issues with the product, but once submitted they normally get fixed quite quickly. We have also made a couple of suggestions as we needed to override certain functionality and they included it in the next release that became available, with this sort of response it certainly made our life easier. This leaves us to get on with our core development whilst leaving these guys to do all the Hard work behind the Ribbon Bar eg The skinning and Painting Work 

:)

Was previously using 2.1 and everything was fine, but with 3.5 the widths of objects in ribbon change when the exe is created. Design view everything looks fine, but when I make the exe or debug it resizes (shrinks field width and drop down box width) moving two objects to the left. 



I am sure there is a simple fix. Please let me have it asap.

Hi,

I created exe application where I used tabControl. There are several buttons and textboxes on it. The problem is that when I install it on cusomer PC (WinXP), I can’t see tabControl component. It’s really strange, because I tried it on several PC and any problems there. I have included in my Project-Publish-Application files all Elegant.Ui components.

What should be a problem? It’s urgent.

THANK YOU!

Marek G.

Yes correct, only one PC. But  can’t tell you detail of PC now, it’s remote PC and I don’t have now access. I can explain you sending one picture. When I logon next time to the remote machine, I will make printscreen... on this picture I demonstrate the problem.

How i can change themes for my grid control? I can change for all elements except grid control...

 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            //set office 2007 blue theme

            SkinManager.LoadEmbeddedTheme(EmbeddedTheme.Office2007Blue, Product.Ribbon);

            Refresh();

        }

Thank you all theme work except  "Windows7".

 This code SkinManager.LoadEmbeddedTheme(EmbeddedTheme.Windows7, Product.Ribbon | Product.Grid) it removes error.

i cannot find Elegant.Ui.Grid.Theme.Windows7.dll file.....it is not included in ribbon ver. 3.5.?

Yes, you are right. Currently this theme is not supported for the Elegant Grid.

Is there a way to disable the color change that happens when you mouse over a ribbon group?

Thanks

Hello,

when I add an Elegant.Ui.ProgressBar in design mode to a form only the background of the ProgressBar is painted, but nothing else. It’s the same behaviour when executing this form.

How can I use the ProgressBar in a form?

Unfortunately, the progress bar on a form is not yet implemented.

Is there a discount if I have the v3.4 license and then I want to buy v3.5? I just brought it about 1 month ago.
