If you embed an OLE object into an application built with a ribbon, there seem to be several problems with in-place editing. [Although the ribbon samples don't have an insert object command, you can copy an object and paste it into the RibbonSample. Double-clicking then opens it for editing.]

 

 

Second, the ribbon bar stays visible when the in-place application is being edited.

 

Third, any additional toolbars are also not hidden when the in-place applicaiton is activated. Add a custom toolbar using the Customize command to see this work.

 

 

Paint Bitmap object, embedded into the Wordpad sample:

 

Open for editing: toolbars/menus hidden and new menu shown correctly:

 

Select this object and paste it into the Ribbon Sample and double-click to open it for editing:

 

Note that any existing toolbars are not hidden, nor is the Ribbon itself. This is different from the way that in-place objects work in Office2007. And where is the menu??? If we turn off the Frame Theme (under Options) then we can see it!!! It is hidden under the title bar....

 

Check Samples\PropertyGrid\DrawClient  it show how to catch activate/deactivate event and show/hide toolbars. you also have to enable/disable Office2007 frame in this event.

 

While I could do that, it would be far more useful if the correct behaviour happened by default as then everyone would benefit. Would it be too hard to incorporate this into an update?

 

Thanks,

Word 2007  also hide themed frame and show standard one when you activate inplace object.
