Paco,

Wow! Very impressive.

I find the prueba.exe does not show the bar (prueba2.exe works fine).

I see references to TDotNetButton() in the sample code. Does this use the dot NET libraries?

Hello James

No. The name's class is remembering this class. I saw this group of classes for.NET and let us be moved pleasurably. Then I thought of making something same and I put him the same name. But at end all the people look the beta of Office to make this controls.

Prueba.exe is in mode design. You can designer the Office Bar with the right mouse button over the first ribbon of the control.

You can add tabs, add group, addbuttons customice the images, save the design to prg, load a design form a prg, etc.

A greeting.

Yes of course. All the controls of CanalFive give the whole code source absolutely.

…you, our customers, are not covered by our license agreement with Microsoft. The terms of the license are not transferable in that way: despite the fact that you are using our components, you will have to sign the Microsoft license yourselves for your own applications.

Should you sign? Although it is royalty-free, the agreement is not without obligations. As Bucknall notes, it includes “the Office UI Design Guidelines that describe, in almost excruciating detail, how the ribbon and its associated controls must work and must look in an application in order to satisfy the license.” Signing the document means agreeing that you are making use of Microsoft’s intellectual property, and also limits what you can do with the UI.

On the whole I’m in favour of UI standards, but this seems rather extreme.

I sent you some email but U have some error on your paco@
