fluentribbon/Fluent.Ribbon

WPF Ribbon control like in Office

Selecting nothing is blocked in the code. Don't remember why it's done. Feel free to create an issue for that if you need that feature.

The Problem is, i can't select another BackStageTabItem when the "File-Tab" is opened. So it highlights the first added, which is in my case the close tab. It looks a bit strange for the user.

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

Selecting a different tab should be possible. Maybe i didn't understand your issue. Could you open an issue on github and provide a repro? maybe i understand whats wrong that way.

I'd like to add Fluent Ribbon to an existing C# WPF application which already uses the default Ribbon (I want something that I can change the style of). I am very new to this sort of thing and am not sure how to include fluent Ribbon in my existing project. Is there a guide for adding repos to existing projects in VS anywhere please? I couldn't find anything on google but maybe because I wasnt searching for the right thing...

How do i hide the quick access arrow and toolbar?

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

You can use IsQuickAccessToolBarVisible on the ribbon to hide the quick access toolbar

I didn't understand your previous question, but as you are asking a more specific question i guess you figured out how to include Fluent.Ribbon in your app

Most of the capabilities are showcased in the showcase application

@tburn76

Thanks. Yes I got it installed using Nuget. And that's perfect. Thanks for your help.

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

@/all Just published Fluent.Ribbon 9.0 https://nuget.org/packages/Fluent.Ribbon/9.0.0

How does Fluent:RibbonWindow keep the title out of center?

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

It's a custom implementation.
You can find the code that measures where to display the title in https://github.com/fluentribbon/Fluent.Ribbon/blob/develop/Fluent.Ribbon/Controls/RibbonTitleBar.cs#L308

@Carbaholic

Is there something in fluent ribbon equivalent to the HelpPaneContent property of the windows ribbon?

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

You can use a button with a help icon and add it to the toolbar items. Like it's done in the showcase application https://github.com/fluentribbon/Fluent.Ribbon/blob/0af641be9133a2304c77cc3ab0eeaccdeb6858aa/Fluent.Ribbon.Showcase/TestContent.xaml#L388

Please how can i run the Showcase application? Do i have to build it somehow? (My system: W10, VS Community 2019, .NET Framework 4.8, dotnet 5.0.404)

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

@ptnavratil You can either clone the git repository and build it yourself, or download it from the CI build from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/batzen/fluent-ribbon/branch/master/artifacts or from the release page on github on https://github.com/fluentribbon/Fluent.Ribbon/releases

Hey, Bastian! Are you here? ))

How do I turn off localization?

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

You mean how to prevent changes to the localization?

And use a fixed one?

RibbonLocalization.Current.LocalizationMap.Clear() and call RibbonLocalization.Current.Localization = new English() afterwards

Eugene

@JohnyL

Oh... That simple! Lemme try...

SHould it be in Loaded event? 🤔

Eugene

@JohnyL

Thanks! Everything works!

hi, im trying to build and prism regionadapter for Backstage , but i cant figure out how to add or remove Buttons , BackstageTabControls, or BackstageTabItems to the backstage. There is no collection of Items in backstage. . Is it possible? t Should i use another class? hanks in advance

hanks or thanks

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

I have zero experience with prism.
The structure is Backstage->Content = BackstageTabControl
BackstageTabControl inherits from Selector, so it's a "regular" ItemsControl

Does anyone know how to specify more or overriding styles for a ribbon in a non-WPF app?
I can add the additional resource dictionary when I create the Application(), but that doesn't seem to be enough.

if (Application.Current == null)
    new Application();

Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary
{
    Source = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Fluent;Component/Themes/Generic.xaml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
});

var resourcesxaml = (ResourceDictionary)Application.LoadComponent(new Uri("/MyDll;component/Styles/MyStyles.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(resourcesxaml);

Example of what I'd like to do in the custom MyStyles.xaml

 <Style TargetType="Fluent:DropDownButton">
    <Setter Property="Margin" Value="1 2 3 4"/>
 </Style>

Unless I can load it on an the app level, the only way I seem to be able to make it work is to reference it in every xaml file (e.g. one per ribbon group)
but I might be missing something...

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

It should just work the way you showed.
At least that's the same approach i am using in unittests.
If you can share a repro application i can have a look at why it doesn't work in your case.

@andersforsgren Mentioning you, just in case you don't get notified.

Anders Forsgren

@andersforsgren

Thanks Bastian, if I know I'm on the right track then I can keep digging. Just needed to know I was digging in the right spot.

Anders Forsgren

@andersforsgren

Fixed it: it was 2 separate issues 1) a build action/item type for the style xaml was incorrect in the csproj 2) When then it worked for most controls but not for a RibbonGroup I realized that was because my ribbon groups were broken out into separate file for each RibbonGroup, but that makes them user controls which are subclasses, which breaks the styling. Not sure if there is a simple way to split a large xaml (10k lines +) into files without usercontrols? I don't need any new behavior for each RibbonGroup, I just want a separate file. It feels like an oversight in WPF that "modularization" (splitting into user controls) breaks styling? I can't make the style's TargetType="Fluent:RibbbonGroupBox" also pick up all 200 sub classes of RibbonGroupBox I believe.

Thanks anyway - I'm sorted now.

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

When you are inheriting from RibbonGroupBox and override the deafult style key.

WPF has great way to modularize components, but that also comes with a runtime cost. That's the reason why Fluent.Ribbon and also WPF itself only provide one large generic.xaml for consumers. Those files are generated from many small files during compile time.

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

That's why I provide XAMLTools as an OSS project, so that others don't have to invest in getting combining right. One user reported window load time reductions from ~30 seconds to less than a second just by using a combined xaml file instead of many small ones.

Why did I add an icon for Backstage and it doesn't work?

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

That's because Backstage inherits from RibbonControl, but it doesn't use Icon.

You have to use Header instead.

Qian Zhongxiang

@qianzhongxiang

Thanks, Bastian, I will try Header instead.

Qian Zhongxiang

@qianzhongxiang

hi, Bastian, I find if I put user control in Header, the click event will be ignored by Backstage. The BackstageAdorner opens when clicking the Backstage border, and nothing happened when clicking the icon in Header. I found the event handler code below.

This code snippet was cut from "Backstage.cs", and is it bringing the problem above?

Qian Zhongxiang

@qianzhongxiang

And how can I solve it?

Bastian Schmidt

@batzen

You can try to set IsHittestVisible to false on your control.

Qian Zhongxiang

@qianzhongxiang

Thanks, it works for me.
