Ribbon Elements (Controls)

The library comes with the following set of Microsoft Office-style ribbon controls ready to use.

• Button
• Button with Menu (Split Button)
• Buttons Group
• Text Label

• Combo Box
• Checkbox
• Radio Button
• Color Picker
• Font Picker
• Palette (Image List, Gallery)

Most of the ribbon controls should have two images: small and large. In some cases, when a ribbon control is stretched to a size that allows it to display an image, but no specific image has been provided, the library will use the default internal image.

Buttons, Groups, Combobox and Font Picker:

Color picker with custom palette:

Font Picker with text preview:

Sample code:

// Create ribbon button with menu:
CBCGPRibbonButton* pBtnPaste = new CBCGPRibbonButton (ID_EDIT_PASTE, _T("Paste"), 0, 0);
pBtnPaste->SetMenu (IDR_PASTE_MENU, TRUE);
pPanelClipboard->Add (pBtnPaste);

// Create simple ribbon buttons:
pPanelClipboard->Add (new CBCGPRibbonButton (ID_EDIT_CUT, _T("Cut"), 1));
pPanelClipboard->Add (new CBCGPRibbonButton (ID_EDIT_COPY, _T("Copy"), 2));
pPanelClipboard->Add (new CBCGPRibbonButton (ID_EDIT_FORMAT, _T("Format"), 3));

// Create font picker:
CBCGPRibbonFontComboBox* pFontCombo = new CBCGPRibbonFontComboBox (ID_FONT_FONT);
pFontGroup->AddButton (pFontCombo);

// Create color picker:
CBCGPRibbonColorButton* pColorBtn = new CBCGPRibbonColorButton ();
pColorBtn->EnableOtherButton (_T("Other..."));
pColorBtn->SetColor (RGB (240, 240, 240));

pPanelParagraph->Add (pColorBtn);
