Hi all,

I'm using the Suitpro V15.0.2 trail components to see if we can integrate the new 2010 theme into our application. We use the saving mechanism to a XML string, but when loading the string back the Ribbon is not loaded properly. I'm wondering if this is something wrong with my code or with the saving mechanism of Codejock.

If you use the RibbonSample and replace the Else part of the Case in function frmMain.Commandbars.Execute with the following code the ribbon has no controls anymore except for the qat:


            Dim objOptions As XtremeCommandBars.StateOptions
            Dim strLayout As String
            Set objOptions = frmMain.CommandBars.CreateStateOptions
            objOptions.LoadSilent = True
            objOptions.SaveOnlyCustomized = False
            objOptions.SaveOriginalControls = True
            objOptions.SerializeActions = True
            objOptions.SerializeControls = True
            objOptions.SerializeDesignerControls = True
            objOptions.SerializeLayout = True
            objOptions.SerializeOptions = True
            strLayout = frmMain.CommandBars.SaveStateToXMLString("Test", objOptions)
            frmMain.CommandBars.DeleteAll
            Call frmMain.CommandBars.LoadStateFromXMLString("Test", strLayout, objOptions)
            MsgBox Control.Caption & " clicked", vbOKOnly, "Button Clicked"

Start the program and click on File->Save to activate the code.

Does anyone have a clue? It has no use for us to buy the new version if we can't save the ribbon.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

SaveState/LoadState is used to save and load user changes. in Ribbon user can change only QAT.

If you add Ribbonbar.Customizable = True, it can be changed.

Hi Oleg,

The documentation states that the SaveOriginalControls saves all the controls from a Commandbar. Does this mean that the Ribbonbar is not a Commandbar?

In other words. This is by design but not stated in the documentation as such?

We are taking a different approach in our program to avoid this problem, but I'm still curious.

Yes, Ribbonbar is exception and SaveOriginalControls don't change it without Customizable = True.
