Divelements SandRibbon control for Silverlight
It is currently the only Silverlight Ribbon control suite on the market, developed in part to encourage adoption of the Silverlight platform for business applications. The Office 2007 user interface is an intuitive, compelling replacement for traditional menus and toolbars, and our product exposes virtually all UI features in a straightforward API. We fully comply with the guidelines published by Microsoft for implementors of this system, which makes our customers' jobs easier and brings peace of mind. Configuring and using the wealth of features packed into this suite is easy using XAML.
Our powerful popup system enables menus and galleries.
We wrote a custom popup system from scratch to power many of the features in SandRibbon. Ribbon minimization conserves screen space by moving ribbon tabs into popups. The application popup contains commands applicable to the whole application, and an optional display area where controls such as a recently-used documents list can be placed. Galleries provide a scrollable viewport on to lists of buttons that can display images designed to show the effects of commands. We provide both popup, resizable galleries and in-ribbon galleries. Live Preview is implemented for those applications that wish to dynamically preview commands to the user as they hover over them.
One of the most compelling features in a ribbon layout is automatic resizing. SandRibbon fully supports all levels of automatic resizing, with buttons, galleries, groups and other layout panels altering their dimensions and internal layout dynamically (or even collapsing to popup form) in order to rearrange controls to best suit available screen space. Configuring this feature is straightforward and is a matter of setting a few properties and using the right layout containers.
