Thanks for your answer and links. The silverlight version looks really great. Check this online demo (silverlight required): http://silverlight.services.live.com/invoke/60108/SilverlightRibbon/iframe.h tml
I'm not trying to copy exactly the ribbon. Just the concept. I know I could do it using tabs and panels, but an existing FLEX version could save me a lot of time. If I don't find any FLEX version, the silverlight version will help me a lot, thanks. I wish I could use silverlight + .NET, but this is an AIR project L ______________________________ Claudio M. E.

Unfortunately I haven't heard of any Flash implementations, only Silverlight implementations. You could implement it yourself using a TabNavigator and Panel controls inside each tab for groups, and buttons inside them. It's the styling that will be a pain - the official specs are available from Microsoft for free though, with some conditions attached (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/office/aa973809.aspx). You could also use the images and even code if you know XAML from the Silverlight version - http://silverlightribbon.codeplex.com/ Personally I'd be making my own interpretation of the ribbon control instead of following the Microsoft version to the dot, especially seeing as they have changed a few bits in Windows 7 which will probably filter down to Office in Office 2010 (e.g. the confusion with the File menu - the Orb in the top corner is now gone). 2009/3/13 Tracy Spratt <[email protected] <mailto:tspratt%40lariatinc.com> >: > I am not familiar with that control, can you describe it? > > > > Tracy Spratt, > > Lariat Services, development services available > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On > Behalf Of Claudio M.
