Hi everyone,
going through the forum I found the solution to this problem. if you look for this thread, the answer is there:
Re: How to add TabPanel & RibbonButton to the ToolBox?
You need to add RibbonButton.cs, infoform.cs and TabPanel.cs to the toolkit project that Juan provided! then build the project and you would get the full set of controls.
Regards,
Kamal

Yes, I have noticed these. But my project is VB.net and can't add these cs files. So why not bulid these two components into one dll?

Hi,
Have the same issue, did you find away to do this?

This is an awesome control. However, after converting to dll's and incorporating into a new vb project I find that the tabs are black. I read that I need to use the setstyle("azure") but I'm not sure how to replicate that in my form (as is in form1 of the demo).

Thanks for you help.

Following Code works:
Private Sub Form1_Shown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
SetStyle("Azure")

Dim HaloColor As Color = Color.White

Case "Dark"
'this.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(88,77,69);
HaloColor = Color.FromArgb(200, 200, 200)
SetBase(87,61,53,HaloColor)
Case "Nature"
'this.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(78, 127, 52);
HaloColor = Color.FromArgb(254, 209, 94)
SetBase(73, 118, 46,HaloColor )
Case "Dawn"
'this.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(177, 108, 45);
SetBase(172, 99, 39, Color.FromArgb(254, 209, 94))

Hi,
Please tell me, how to add a child form for this MDI form.
|
|
|
|
|
I added the following to RibbonPanel and called to it versus calling Color.FromArgb direct:
protected static int FromArgbBindComponent( int inComponent )
{
inComponent = (inComponent >= 0 ? inComponent : 0);
inComponent = (inComponent <= 255 ? inComponent : 255);
return( inComponent );
}
protected static Color FromArgb( int inRed, int inGreen, int inBlue )
{
return( Color.FromArgb( RibbonPanel.FromArgbBindComponent( inRed ),
RibbonPanel.FromArgbBindComponent( inGreen ), RibbonPanel.FromArgbBindComponent( inBlue ) ) );
}
protected static Color FromArgb( int inAlpha, int inRed, int inGreen, int inBlue )
{
return( Color.FromArgb( inAlpha, RibbonPanel.FromArgbBindComponent( inRed ),
RibbonPanel.FromArgbBindComponent( inGreen ), RibbonPanel.FromArgbBindComponent( inBlue ) ) );
}

I used the Ribbon Panel Office 2007 in a project and works very well, but then I read the document where you inherit your control, and for some reasons I will use a tabControl, so I look the TabStripControl Base class on the example from the document and I'd like to use this control at the same time that your control.
I noticed one problem, both have the same project name, I tried to change the property at design time to make the Panel looks like the base class but with no result.
what can I do to use both control in the same project ?
do you have any idea?

Hello there,
do you know how to manage the Ribbon Control into a User Control (not FormView)?
Thanks, L.
|
|
|
|
|
It would be a really useful feature, anyone tried?
|
|
|
|
|
When tab strip has large number of tab, it will hide some tabs in the right, but when click a tab that hired (in the rigth), content of that tab is displayed, but none of tab displayed on tabStrip.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Does someone try to use the dll in a WPF Appliacation? I can't see any controls of the library in my toolbox :-/
If i click "See All" in my toolbox i can see the controls, but they are disabled. Does the library only works with .Net 2.0?
greets Mariusz

It doesn't work for me in VB.Net OR C#. Here's the error message I get:
Unable to find assembly 'TabStripControlLibrary, Version=1.0.2764.37942, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
This is awesome and I can't use it!
|
|
|
|
|
Choose to build without run, then run it. It needs to compile the supporting DLL.
|
|
|
|
|
Is there any way I can put the components into a dll and use them with VB.Net 2005 Express? It looks cool, but I want to use it. Preferably just by loading the components from a dll.
It doesn't really work with VB.Net. Can someone please weave some magic and produce a VB.Net version? I would very much appreciate it!

The Problem is, that you first must Add the dll via Referecences-Dialog.
Add a Reference and after that you can add it to the ToolBox.
Try it und tell me if it works.

You must first add a Reference. RightClick to your Project, "Add Reference" and select the dll.
And then you can add it to the Toolbox

but is it possible to use it in vb.net 2005 ?
|
|
|
|
|
You can compile as a new control and creates a dll, then you can add the reference, build and add from the toolbox in vb (maybe fuzzy?)
|
|
|
|
|
sorry for being a newbie sucks, but your application also has a dll and i tried to reference it to vb.net but it couldn't show the reference how can i do şt , you don't have to answer so simple thing but i''ll be pleased and i want to learn the fundamentals by this way, thanks a lot.

Hi,
very nice software, congratulations!
One small question: is it ok when I use your demo app as a base for a small (personal, freeware) application including the icons you used? Of course I will give you full credits for your code and the images.
Thanks and best regards
Bastian Hundt

The code you can use, modify and as you wish, about the icons I used them from a modified theme of gnome. (I think is free)
