RIBBON NATIVA AVANCES

[Otto]

Hello Antonio,
I changed the navigation from buttonbar to ribbon.
The ribbon works much better (more fluent) than my old ribbon imitation.
Antonio for a production-system I would need most the navigation with keyboard.
Best regards,
Otto

Otto,

We are working on a Method KeybMode() that first of all may show those little buttons with the letters.

This is still a work in progress but here you can review it:

Code: Select all

METHOD KeybMode() CLASS TRibbonBar

   local oPanel, oBtn

   oPanel = TXPanel():New( 0, 0, ::nHeight(), ::nWidth(), ::oWnd )

   SetWindowLong( oPanel:hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, nOr( GetWindowLong( ::hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE ), WS_EX_TRANSPARENT ) )

   BringWindowToTop( oPanel:hWnd )
   
   @ 20, 20 BTNBMP oBtn SIZE 20, 20 OF oPanel 2007

return nil

CLASS TXPanel FROM TPanel

   METHOD Paint() VIRTUAL

ENDCLASS
 

The idea is to place a transparent Panel on top of the Ribbon, so we can place some BtnBmps (or standard Buttons with accelerators) and the user may select the accelerator for each little button.

Antonio,
wouldn't
oPanel:SayBitmap(...)
oPanel:Say(...)
be better for speed reason?
Best regards,
Otto

Otto,

We can't use those cause the transparency attribute of the panel that we are using

Maybe we could set transparency for just one color, but anyhow we need accelerators there.
