Ribbon in WinForm Apps
-
I was just recently at a MSDN event and I happened to inquire about the Ribbon being in .NET 4.0. To that I got no answer, but the presenter did say that their was a Ribbon SDK available. The problem is, I can't find it. Does anyone know where a Microsoft Ribbon SDK is, that is .NET compliant? I do know about the following articles on custom ribbon controls: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/ribboncontrol.aspx[^] http://www.codeproject.com/KB/toolbars/WinFormsRibbon.aspx[^] and the VC++ Feature Pack which supports the ribbon implementation in non-.NET applications. Any help would be much appreciated.

The only ribbon control supplied by MS is for MFC. There is no winforms or WPF ribbon currently provided. The MFC ribbon SDK provided by MS is included with Vs2008, & the vc++ feature pack. It's actually a 3rd party product from BCGSoft[^] that MS have licensed. BCGSoft do also do a .net version[^] but you'll have to buy that. There are stacks of others out there. You've mentioned a few, there are loads more, both free and commercial.

Thanks for the reply[s]. I am not sure if that is exactly what the presenter was referring to (I think he was refering to the feature pack like you said in the previous post), but I will be sure to test it. Thanks. I did however find a RibbonBar from RAD Controls in the connect.microsoft.com - Visual Studio Registration Benefits Portal. So now I have a few options to look at.
