New Post: RibbonGallery and RibbonButton

Ors84bs — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:39:43 GMT

Hi,

I'd like to have a RibbonGallery with RibbonButtons rather thant RibbonThumbnails.

Is is possible?

Or, in alternative, I can use RibboThumbnails but i don't want to show an image, but i want to show a text dynamically loaded from code (so, not an image containing this text).

Any helps?

New Post: Why is new added RibbonTabItem not visible ?

What your working code looks like and how it is initiated?

I also use it in CAL, altough I access the RibbonBar directly not through an adapter. Nevertheless it doesn't work.

Maybe it is really a CAL related issue.

I have also noticted one thing.

In my application every module has a possibility to register its own tab in the RibbonBar. At first none of them apeared after the window came up. When I increased the initial size of the window, suddenly one tab became visible. Unfortunately the rest of the them I add later during the program execution don't show up at all.

Any thoughts on that?

As I see it, it is some kind of a measuring and repainting issue.

I'm sorry. I'm trying to write Region Adapter for RibbonBar (PRISM2, CAL ) similar to http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=4823267&msg=3145094 and it doesn't work. Outside the Adapter it works fine, thank you.

Hi,

I am getting the same behavior. Did someone manage to describe conditions under which the newly added tabs don't apear?

warmjelly — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 23:09:52 GMT

When I use a ribbon bar inside of a ribbon window I am seeing odd behavior where when the ribbon window is maximized the application spikes to full CPU usage and becomes unusable. Has anyone else see behavior like this? Either way is there a method by which, I can remove the maximize button from the window? Thanks.

New Post: Dynamic tabs and buttons using MVVM

sisnaz — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:47:03 GMT

I've figured out how to bind a collection of groups and buttons to the RibbonTabItem, but still trying to figure out how to bind a collection of tabs.

<ribbon:RibbonTabItem Title="My Tab" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource GroupListData}}"/>

It would be great if I could bind the tab collection, groups and buttons at runtime instead of design time though. Any thoughts?

This works for me:

RibbonTabItem tab = new RibbonTabItem();
tab.Title = "My Tab";

this.ribbonBar.Tabs.Add(tab);

New Post: Dynamic tabs and buttons using MVVM

First and foremost I love the Ribbon control. It's an outstanding and easy control to work with.

Now to my question; can someone point me in the right direction of how to bind the ribbon control using MVVM?

I have a collection of tabs and buttons which I can load and create the ribbon dynamically when using code behind, but for the life of me can't figure out how to acheive the same things when the ribbon control is on a view and the all my handling is in the view model.

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to simply add a new RibbonTabItem from code (RibbonBar.Tabs.Add (new RibbonTabItem ....)). New RibbonTabItem is in Tabs collection, but visualy nothing has changed. And property IsVisible is always false, although I set Visibility = Visible. Any help ?

New Post: Multiple RibbonWindows on multiple threads

mrhoga — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:02:03 GMT

Hello!

I'm trying to create multiple instances of RibbonWindow on different threads (one thread per window).
Unfortunately the application throws the following exception when I'm about to create the second instance
(the first window opens whithout problems):

Fehler bei Objektinitialisierung (ISupportInitialize.EndInit). Der aufrufende Thread kann nicht auf dieses Objekt zugreifen, da sich das Objekt im Besitz eines anderen Threads befindet. Fehler in Objekt "Odyssey.Controls.RibbonGroup" ...

Here's my translation :)

Error while initializing object (ISupportInitialize.EndInit). The calling thread cannot access this object because it is owned by another thread. Error in object "Odyssey.Controls.RibbonGroup" ...

The RibbonGroup's markup looks like this:

<odc:RibbonTabItem x:Name="tabEditUser" Title="User bearbeiten">					
	<odc:RibbonGroup Title="Aktionen">
		<odc:RibbonButton Content="Speichern &amp; schließen" LargeImage="../img/save16.png" SmallImage="../img/save16.png" odc:RibbonBar.Reduction="Large,Medium,Medium,Medium" />
		<odc:RibbonButton Content="Speichern &amp; neu" LargeImage="../img/save16.png" SmallImage="../img/save16.png" odc:RibbonBar.Reduction="Medium,Medium,Medium,Small" />
		<odc:RibbonButton Content="Löschen" LargeImage="../img/delete16.png" SmallImage="../img/delete16.png" odc:RibbonBar.Reduction="Medium,Medium,Medium,Small" />
	</odc:RibbonGroup>
</odc:RibbonTabItem>

Can anybody explain myself how I could realize the described scenario (multiple RibbonWindows on multiple threads)?
Many thanks in advance

Holger

New Post: Is it possible to bind the sections of the OutlookBar control?

jerrybullard — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 04:05:36 GMT

First off, great set of controls. Thank you.

It appears the ItemsSource property of the OutlookBar does not work the same way as other ItemsControls in the framework. In order to add a section it must be added to the Sections collection directly in the XAML or from code behind and cannot be templated as in other ItemsControls.

For example, with a tab control or other items control, I can set the ItemsSource property to a collection like this:

ItemsSource="{Binding SidePanels}"

Then, I can override the ItemTemplate of the control to shape the resulting items. Something like this:

                <odc:OutlookBar.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Foo}"/>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </odc:OutlookBar.ItemTemplate>

Is this possible already, and I'm just not seeing it?

Thanks.

Have you tried looking in the downloads section or tried to read the project intro. I dont think you have. Please do so.

A very good sample available as Demo.

or download code from SVN. there are a bunch of Codeproject articles listed in the project homepage. Go through them

New Post: Cosmetic issues

picatshow — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:21:37 GMT

Hi jadryk,

With blured, you mean that the image is distorted and for example the lines aren't straight? Because I've got this Problem with the PNG I use for the ApplicationMenuButton. Doesn't matter which size I choose (32x32, 40x40) the Image looks bad. I read your solution ("removing blur bitmap effect from the ribbon application template"), but I'm not really sure, how to do that. I don't wanted to write an own whole Template for the RibbonApplicationMenuButton. Is ist that what you mean? I would be glad if you could help me:)

Regards,

picatshow

Is there a way to programmatically select an item in the BreadcrumbBar? the SelectedItem and SelectedBreadcrumb properties are both read-only.
