Hi all. I have just updated the CodeCentral item to include a couple of bug fixes. The updated CodeCentral (http://cc.borland.com/item.aspx?id=23960) now also includes full support for Delphi 7 (D7 specific zip included in download). If you are using Delphi 7 then extract the D7 specific zip and load the project group included. The issues address are: * Positioning of shortcuts on non-english systems was incorrect * Display of Textual Separators initially wrong when windows hide menu shortcut was on * Don't display content if the Hint is the same as the caption You can revert this behaviour by commenting out the code mentioned in TXPExStyleRichContent.HasContent method * Delphi 7 specific fixes If you have issues please email me at jeremy.north@gmail.com - I don't check these messages very often. I've also made a little progress on the new action manager style shown in the document. Here is a screenshot. http://www.jed-software.com/images/RibbonProgress.PNG cheers, Jeremy |

I look forward to trying it in D7! Thanks.
I am quite impatient to see your new version of ActionManager style. Will you showe source code? And once more, do you know how to change the look of the root items of the ActionMainMenu? Thank you any way. Your article helped me to find some answers. You are doing a good job. Thank you.
I love it Jeremy. Keep those going and let me toy around with them. Just a dream come true ;)
I have just updated the codecentral zip file with the latest code. Please download again.

Please download the attachment I have just uploaded for the following QC report: I've included a unit that customises the root main menu items.

Dear JED, your code sample on how to change Action Manager style is GREAT. Thank you! But when I decided to make my own style I have encountered one problem. The thing is that I want to increase the number of available colors which can be used in drawing of the background or glyph. E.g. there is FrameTopLeftInner color - but I want to use FrameTopInner and FrameLeftInner colors separately. Can you give me an advise how to implement that in the best way? I have extended TXpColorMap but my approach seems to be not very nice. I can show you my code if you have some time to take a look on it. It is not much of it. Thank you!
Sure you can send me the code if you'd like and I'll have a look at it.
Unless the color can be derived from another color, you may not be able to avoid adding new properties.
For my Office2003 style I had to add to the existing color map class extensively.
Is this Ribbon-Project still in development? I would really be looking forward to it
