Hello everyone, long time no see. I believe I may have made a post relating to this one quite some time ago that never got any attention so I believe I'll give it another shot. :) Basically, I would like to implement a way to use the ribbon tabs as the browser tabs. I was wondering if that may be possible in any way? It's a bit hard for me to explain so I suppose I'll try and show you instead. The picture below is a design concept Its a rough idea of what I'm trying to do with these controls.  I suppose it wouldnt actually have to be the ribbon tabs in order to achieve the desired UI, but I would really appreciate if any of you guys could help. I've been trying for months and havent had any luck trying to implement this. Not sure if it can be done. But if it turns out not possible, please let me know either way Thanks in advance! ------------- Product: Xtreme Suite Pro (Active-X), Version 15.3.1 Platform: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64Bit) & Windows XP Mode SP3 (32Bit) Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

I know that I added a combobox into the ribbon some time ago. I believe that the trick was just to call it like this CXTPControlComboBox* pControlCombo = (CXTPControlComboBox*)pRibbonBar->GetControls()->Add(xtpControlComboBox,IDM_MYCMD); This probably means, that you can use other controls like xtpControlCustom and xtpControlLabel, and maybe do it that way? As I remember there was a problem with the ordering of the controls in the ribbon. I believe that I always got it next to the File menu. Maybe that is fixed now? -cpede ------------- Product: Xtreme ToolkitPro (20.3.0) Platform: Windows 10 (x64) Language: Visual Studio 2017 (C++) |

Oh I can easily add any type of controls to the ribbon itself. But to use the ribbon as the browser tabs is a different story. I've been using the tab workspace included, which is sufficient. But it makes for a very cluttered interface. I was wonder if there was a way to remove this and use the ribbon as the tabs/toolbar for the browser instead. :) ------------- Product: Xtreme Suite Pro (Active-X), Version 15.3.1 Platform: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64Bit) & Windows XP Mode SP3 (32Bit) Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

Ok, now I see. You don't want the ribbon icons, groups etc, but just the ribbon tabs. I would probably use a Tabbed MDI interface for that. I'm sure that you can make custom tabs there. Alternatively you can build the tab-like control yourself using Markup? -cpede ------------- Product: Xtreme ToolkitPro (20.3.0) Platform: Windows 10 (x64) Language: Visual Studio 2017 (C++) |
