Configure ribbon with Office 2010 style
posted

Hi,

we are using Infragistics Version 13.1. We have a ribbon in our application.

We are reworking on the UI and we initially started using Office 2010 UI style

ToolbarManagerMain.Style = ToolbarStyle.Office2010;

Infragistics.Win.Office2010ColorTable.ColorScheme = Infragistics.Win.Office2010ColorScheme.Silver;

This worked fine but the application menu image is distorted(we are using 32X32 image) and the file menu is tab shaped and not round shaped.

So, we are trying to apply the colors of office 2010 theme to appropriate areas of ribbon.

Can you let me know what are all the properties and colors that we need to apply to the ribbon to achieve the Office 2010 style without using the ToolbarStyle as Office 2010.

Thanks,
Satish

    Hello tsatish,

    There is no predefined list of properties that will create a specific office style nor is there one for changing the file menu button. Changing the style to reflect the behavior of a particular Office version would entail using the given file menu button that Microsoft provided. The best approach would be to style your application using AppStylist.

    I also recommend submitting a new product idea to change the file menu button regardless of the style being used at ideas.infragistics.com

    You can review all the UIRoles that are used in our Style Libraries that we created for each Office style that has been released over the years to create your own set of styles to load into your application. AppStylist for Windows Forms is installed with the toolset your working with for Windows forms and loads with custom Style Libraries that were shipped with our toolset; some of which are tailored to both Office 2010 and older (labeled accordingly). To use the sample Style Libraries, open a new Style Library from the File menu and navigate to the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Infragistics 2015.2\Windows Forms\AppStylist for Windows Forms\Styles folder on Windows XP, or C:\Users\Public\Documents\Infragistics 2015.2\Windows Forms\AppStylist for Windows Forms\Styles folder on Windows Vista where these Style Libraries are stored.

    Let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter.
