Hi ProfUIS team,


I want to ask a question about your tab controls. I have a task to create an Excel 2007 UI for my application. I looked for excel like tabs at your samples and I didn’t find anything. So I want to know how can I implement these tabs at my application with using your library? I try to redesign your tab(and container) classes throw the inheritance. At result I have a lot of code and get some results like this:



 


 


 


 This is not excellent. This is a very poor analogy of excel tabs. You can look by yourself. Here is a true Excel UI:



 


Could you please describe me is this possible to create Excel 2007 tab control with using your library and without any additional great refactoring from my side?

he Quick Access toolbar in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 appears above the Ribbon, to the right of the Office button, and includes buttons for commands you use often. By default, the Quick Access toolbar contains only the Save, Undo, and Redo commands.

To display the Quick Access toolbar beneath the Ribbon, click the Customize Quick Access Toolbar button (on the right end of the toolbar) and choose Show Below the Ribbon on the drop-down menu.

You can click the Customize Quick Access Toolbar button to easily add other common Excel 2007 commands to this toolbar. The resulting drop-down menu contains the following commands: New, Open, E-mail, Quick Print, Print Preview, Spelling, Sort Ascending, and Sort Descending.

To add any of these commands to the toolbar, simply click the option on the drop-down menu. Excel adds a button for that command to the end of the Quick Access toolbar (and a check mark to its option on the drop-down menu).

Add non-Ribbon commands to the Quick Access toolbar
To add a non-Ribbon command to the Quick Access toolbar, follow these steps:
Click the Customize Quick Access Toolbar button and then click the More Commands option near the bottom of the drop-down menu.

Excel displays the Excel Options dialog box with the Customize tab selected. On the right, Excel shows all the buttons currently on the Quick Access toolbar in the order they appear on the toolbar.


Select the type of command you want to add from the Choose Commands From drop-down list.

For example, if you want to display only the commands that do not appear on the Ribbon, select Commands Not in the Ribbon.

Click the command you want to add to the Quick Access toolbar in the list on the left.
Click the Add button.

The command button appears at the bottom of the list on the right.

Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to reposition the newly added command button.

Click OK.

The Excel Options dialog box closes, and the button appears in the Quick Access toolbar.

We are sorry for the delay with this reply. First of all, the Excel style tabs task requires integration with scroll bars. Prof-UIS scroll bars (CExtScrollBar) support custom window integration. You can see toolbars and slider controls integrated into scroll bars in the AdoRecordsetView sample project. If you need true excel tabs, then you should CExtScrollBar windows and some container window integrated with it. This container windows should contain a toolbar with buttons and CExtTabFlatWnd tab control.

I didn’t receive any answer for my question. Are your still alive?


I pay for your library and I want to get answer for my question. If you stop development(and support) you should place this information on the main page of your website to warn potential users.
