Colin, Am I correct that all three panel controls are on the same window and you put the form in the panel during the CREATE event of this window? If so, is this window visible or invisible when the CREATE event is firing?
-
Colin, I am not as well versed with the SRP Panel control so I suspect another member on my team will respond. However, I am curious, do you have the parent window (i.e., the ones with the SRP Panel controls) invisible at design time? If not, what …

Colin, I will look into this and get back to you. We do not use the SRP Panel control internally very much, but we have some customers who are doing marvelous things with it. Hopefully they can also respond with their own experience.

James, Have you considered rolling out your own OnMouseExit event? Your idea is sound, but I am not sure when we can add this feature at this point in time. We have used the WM_SETCURSOR WinAPI to trap mouse movement through the entire application.…

Barry, No, just SRPControls.ocx. That is the main point of our There Can Be Only One blog article from a few months ago. If you happen to use the SRP Editor then you will also need to register SRPUtil.ocx. But SRPUtil.ocx is never used within an a…

Chris, Did you read Kevin's last response? Did you send him an RDK he can use to test with?

You need to set it up on the Terminal Server side. Win 2008 Terminal Server forces 16-bit color depth, regardless of how the client side RDP is setup. We are going to do a write-up on this, but it won't be ready for a day or two. In the meantime, yo…

Chris, I don't think we need any more information at this time. Your circumstances mimic our other incident report identically. In this other customer's case, he does have a Win2008 server which works and another one which does not work. We are try…
-
Chris, I believe your problem is different from Mark's but it sounds very similar to a problem that was recently reported to us by another customer. All fingers point to Terminal Server. Are you using any other SRP controls on your forms that displ…
-
Chris, Technically I'm sure this is possible. We've added similar events to other controls. That said, I'm sure you realize we are getting this control ready to be officially released and moved out of BETA. New features like an OnHover event would…

Chris, Screenshot? I haven't used Windows 7 since 8 came out so I'm having a hard time visualizing what you are describing. Are you referring to the Windows 7 start menu or are you really talking about Excel's own ability to show a MRU list?
-
Chris, I think I need more details on how you are collecting version details related to the SRP Ribbon control. Are you sure you are referencing the CtrlEndID for the SRP Ribbon control correctly? Are you using @Window or the window that the SRP Ri…
-
Chris, Using an OLE event to close a form, especially the last form, of an application is usually problematic. Perhaps you are encountering something unique to the SRP Ribbon control, but what you are describing is a common problem with any OLE con…
-
Ariel, I am very happy that this worked out well with the official control. By the way, previously you had mentioned the Popup working every time. I assume by that you meant the SRP Popup control. This would make sense because the SRP Popup contr…

Mark, Kevin will have to respond on his end but I am curious, does hovering the mouse over the area not force a redraw?
-
Chris, You may want to start storing your XML init strings into separate records, not unlike the way the Banded Report Writer stores report layouts. You could also define it as an INSERT if you want to keep it in SYSPROCS and simply strip off the h…
-
Ummm...you going to leave us in suspense?
-
Mark, Just some ideas for an entire record: * Last modified details (date, time, user) could apply * Permission status (read-only, full-write) * Printed status (True, False) * Posted status (Pending, Posted, Archived) If you are navigating …

Mark, I likely read your FlickerFree comment and walked away with a misunderstanding. We have seen an implementation of the Ribbon control where form data is being displayed in the Ribbon control itself and we think that is stretching the bounds of…
-
If I placed a Ribbon control in an MDI Frame, I would still launch MDI Child forms using another control (like the ShortcutBar) and then the Ribbon control would be configured for the currently active MDI Child. Mark, I need to revisit this comme…

Barry, We purchase our icons from axialis. We use the "Pure Flat" icons, but you can get the non-flat if you like. I recommend going through all of their libraries and picking one that has the most options you like. Then you can add more libraries …
-
Mark, My word of caution is to think twice before using the Ribbon control as a substitute for a tab control. Ribbon interfaces are primarily meant to be substitutes for menus and toolbars. Using them as alternatives for application form launching …
-
Mark, There are no conflicts that we have come across but your expectations of how it will all look and feel may vary. The ribbon style of UI was introduced by MS when they were moving away from traditional MDI design. In order to achieve the most …

Mark, Strange. I just downloaded and registered the same control and it works for me. Can you confirm you did not inadvertently add a space to the ProgID? Do other controls appear properly when you type in their ProgID?
-
Mark, While the officially released version of the Pro control does include a version of the Ribbon control, the version you want is the one that was included in the blog article. The Pro control will be updated when the Ribbon control is no longer…
-
Ariel, Your use of the word "terms" is confusing. Do you mean "items"? I'm going to ask you a favor. If this is easy enough to reproduce for you, please create a simple SYSPROG RDK of a form and logic that we can use. I fear trying to follow your …
-
Just an FYI to those who are aware that our latest downloadable control is technically a release candidate version, we have officially released v4.0 of the SRP Controls. As a reminder, regardless of which product portal you go to, the same OCX file …
-
Ariel, What version of the control are you using now? I tried this with version 4 and this is working perfectly well for me. To quickly test this I just added the following code to the OnClick event: Item = Param1 ItemText = Get…

Hi Matt, Same offer is extended to you...just drop the line first. :)

Colin, I'll let Kevin respond to why the performance is struggling after so many calls to the method, but unless you have a reason to NOT do this, I suggest just creating an @FM list of DragItemKeys and make a single call to the method after your F…
