Yes I can and will do so shortly. Some additional info in the meantime, I have two windows that I've been testing the ribbon on, each with different xml. Both exhibit the same behaviour. The create event logic is a copy of the logic you posted in …
-
That's the answer right there. Just take Kevin's XML and initialisation code and put it in the create event of a new window. Start the window. Once you see that result. Change the icon pointers in the xml to images you have somewhere and run the wi…

Hey Barry, My first use of this is for a new requirement so there will be no before shots. I will still upload some after shots once it's finished if you like. You can check my other thread on redraw issues for a glimpse of how it is looking at the…

Don, perha....
-
Found one. :-D
-
Yes and that's probably why I'm struggling to come up with uses for the ribbon other than the MDI. I don't have too many forms that have enough 'states' that warrant a ribbon. Rest assured, I'll find one :-)
-
Thanks Don, Now we're more on the same wavelength. The intent was never to replace tabs on the child forms, simply to use an MDI ribbon to replace the existing menu with the basic concept of tabs for top level menus or modules, groups for 2nd level…
-
Thanks Don. I'm happy to experiment with the look and feel. I was more looking to use the ribbonbar to launch the MDI children and figure they can still live within the client area. Like I said, happy to experiment and I'll include your suggestions…

Thanks Kevin
-
:-) You see I was waiting for someone to point out the bleeding obvious to me. No I didn't initially think to re-register it at least not until I read your comment re downloading and registering the same control. Doh! And thank you for the second …
-
So I think I've downloaded the correct pro control now but???? and still no ribbon?
-
Gotcha. Thanks

71 items - good 77 items - :-(

One more piece of info. That screenshot above had 54 items on the right. When I did the drag to the left, no hang so perhaps the magic number is between 54 and 100 or more likely it's probably not number of items but some other 'size' factor that I …
-
Unfortunately this one has reared its ugly head again but this time I have some more info to assist in the debugging. The scenario is as above. The issue is that on the OnDragExit event, the RemoveItems method tends to hang the system. This only oc…

Guilty as charged. :-)

Firstly, well played. Secondly, consider the appetiser served. I was sure I had heard rumblings previously but couldn't for the life of me find anything substantial. This may well prove timely if you (translation: you) manage to publish your doco…

And I didn't mention I'm using Windows10, in case that's the culprit
-
Hey Kevin, will still send you something if I can work out exactly what to send. Some further troubleshooting though has determined that the tree control is a furfy. I changed it to a datepicker and it behaved the same, drawing the calendar above t…
-
Ok. As usual, all part of a bigger picture. I'll create a simpler version and if it too misbehaves then I'll send it through to you. Not till some time next week though, so enjoy your weekend
-
Won't hold you to anything but do you think it could have something to do with the type of control/s on the embedded form? My current iteration has the tree directly on the parent but a shortcutbar could still be useful if there is an expectation of…
-
No, it's not set to autosize. It's a stand alone form with just the tree control on it. Didn't realise you could embed just a control without a form.
-
Thanks Kevin. Thought it might have been a feature and I can see its value, I just happened to stumble across it in the wrong mode. Need to keep you on your toes, I'm sure you've got nothing better to do in this lead up to the festive season.
-
You were spot on with your assumption as to where I was thinking to take it. I simply started with a single group and embedded form with the intent, once that was working, to add further groups like you said. I have a tree control which could potent…
-
Thanks for the insight Don. I have implemented the reusable features concept myself in the manner you describe but I use the Panel control to embed the form rather than the shortcutbar. The advantage? The panel takes up no more real estate on the pa…

and in case it helps, here's one of the error messages I received
-
Unfortunately, how a proper child should behave is subject to wide and varied opinion. I take your point about the amount of overhead involved and suspected as much. In my instance I was not using the control the way it would likely be used in prac…
-
Maybe I should clarify a little on that last point. I cater for this now by catching the newapptdrop event and just changing the datetime fields of the oldappointment to the new date and then call the addappts method.
-
Automating the synchronisation works for me. Copying appointments across multiple days? Yes drag across the datepicker in the same way you can now by holding Ctrl and dragging the appointment to the date you want it.

Ed, Also try this thread. It might help shed some light on it and only occurred with buttons whose style was 'XP' https://forum.srpcs.com/discussion/111/drawing-issues-with-windows-7
