I'm using ActiveX 13.2.1.

My ribbon, created with the CommandBar Designer has a round Office button a la Office 2007 which contains the classic File menu items.

How do I update it so that the Office button becomes the File menu a la Office 2010?

Thanks.

Hi, I'm working with 13.4.0 but I think in 13.2. it works also.
Try:


Private Sub setOffice2010Ribbon(paramCB As CommandBars)
    Dim ctrl            As CommandBarControl
    Dim rb              As RibbonBar

    With paramCB
        .EnableOffice2007Frame True
        .VisualTheme = xtpThemeRibbon
        Set rb = .ActiveMenuBar
        rb.EnableFrameTheme
    End With

    Set ctrl = rb.ControlSystemButton                        ' the round button
    ctrl.Style = xtpButtonCaption                            ' caption only, no picture
End Sub

The following 3 lines of code, placed right after my initialization code did the trick. Thanks!

' RibbonBar was already setup by my init code

Dim ctrl As XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarControl
Set ctrl = RibbonBar.ControlSystemButton
ctrl.Style = xtpButtonCaption 'caption only, no picture
