ExpressBars Suite adds Skin Chooser Gallery

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 16:50:45 GMT

Ribbon control example included with ExpressBars Suite.

v2011 vol 1 also adds new Ribbon styles and gallery, context-sensitive mini toolbar and automatic Bar Manager binding.

ExpressBars Suite is an advanced toolbar, menu, and sidebar navigation system for Delphi and C++Builder developers with complete support for the look, feel, and behavior of Microsoft Office. This 100% native VCL library is designed to free your end-users from the limitations imposed by standard menu and toolbar systems, while at the same time enabling full runtime customization, all without writing a single line of code. ExpressBars Suite Source Code Licenses available.

Updates in v2011 vol 1

New Ribbon Styles - In addition to the existing DevExpress Office 2007 style Ribbon, the newest release includes two new Ribbon style options: Windows Scenic Ribbon and Office 2010 Ribbon
Ribbon Gallery - You can now provide an icon and descriptive text for each gallery item within the In-Ribbon Gallery.
Skin Chooser Gallery - Originally written as an optional part of the Ribbon UI, this component provides an efficient way for end-users to apply skins from the ExpressSkins Library (including custom skins) specified in the application's uses clause, without any additional coding on your side.
Ribbon Mini Toolbar Component - This customizable counterpart of a Ribbon context menu is now context-sensitive. In reaction to text selection via the mouse, it automatically pops-up using an animated fade while providing relevant (contextual) commands.
Tabbed MDI Manager - The component provides a tabbed document interface within MDI applications. In the tabbed MDI layout, all child forms are displayed as tabbed pages on the main form.
Extra Pane Visibility - The Ribbon Application Menu's extra pane can be hidden in order to optimize work space.
Arbitrary ordering of bar items and galleries in a dropdown menu - A bar item can now be placed ahead of a gallery in a dropdown menu. In turn, the gallery is displayed in the menu as a dropdown gallery.
TdxRibbonGallery Inheritance - The gallery item's collection type was changed from TCollection to TcxComponentCollection. This change overcomes limitations associated with gallery state persistence in descendant forms. Inherited forms can now use the parent form's gallery settings.
Design-Time Enhancements - Ribbon Gallery Designer - In previous versions, gallery items could not be moved from one group to another. With this release, gallery items can be freely moved between different gallery groups via drag and drop within the Ribbon Gallery Designer.
Automatic Bar Manager binding - When dropped onto a form, the TdxBarDockControl automatically links the bar manager on the form, using the BarManager property.

DevExpress have now incorporated this behavior into the new Ribbon Mini Toolbar, a floating toolbar that will allow you to display context-specific commands in your applications.
