Ribbon DWM Support

Fully implemented BCGControlBar Pro (MFC)

Not available BCGSuite (MFC)

Partially implemented BCGControlBar for .NET

Our ribbon bar utilizes the advantages of the Windows title bars: if your application has a visual theme with the standard (non-themed) caption (for example, the Windows native, Scenic, or Office 2007-2010 theme), the ribbon caption will be presented with the native Windows appearance:

  • Under Windows 10-11, you will see the acrylic/mica effects.
  • Under Windows Vista or 7, you will see the glass effect, which is a translucent appearance that gives the illusion of depth, provided that the Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) mode is switched on.

The system buttons (such as maximize, minimize, or close) have the native Windows glow and animation effects.
