The Ribbon Controls are going to be moved out of DotSpatial.Controls. Anyone using them in their project?

Hi mudnug,,

At the moment I am using the ribbon control for my project but I can use an other ribbon control if you need to move it out of DotSpatial.

There are 2 controls in my mind

http://www.qiosdevsuite.com/Controls/QRibbon

This is free but it is not open source

And this is an comercial product

Using the extension model for providing ribbons and docking components means that any of these tools could be wired in. This is the approach being used to add DevExpress components to the current test release of mapwindow6.codeplex.com.

Hi ambiente,

We are considering abandoning the RibbonControl as there are bugs that haven't been fixed in it. We are providing a ribbon interface in MW6, however. It might be of interest to you. See http://mapwindow6.codeplex.com/

Hi mudnug,

Now I moved to http://windowsribbon.codeplex.com/

Until now it works fine and I can substituite the DotSpatial RibbonControl.

I downloaded the mapwindow 6 project source and looked at the code but I cannot find where and how you configure the DevExpress Ribbon?

Where is the code for each button? I am VB developer but I can read the C# code ....

The Windows Ribbon for WinForms project is a wrapper, open source like DotSpatial :-) but has one limitation, Windows XP is not supported.

Ate the Windows Ribbon for WinForms I can create a RibbonMarkup.xml file for all commands like this.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Application xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2009/Ribbon'>
	<Application.Commands>

    <Command Name="cmdApplicationMenu" Id="1000" />

.......


<Command Name="cmdButtonPrint"
				 Id="1004"
				 LabelTitle="Print"
				 LabelDescription="Print Description"
				 TooltipTitle="Print"
				 TooltipDescription="Print the current map project.">
      <Command.LargeImages>
        <Image>Res/Print32.bmp</Image>
      </Command.LargeImages>
      <Command.SmallImages>
        <Image>Res/Print16.bmp</Image>
      </Command.SmallImages>
    </Command>

Then Enum the commands

 Public Enum RibbonMarkupCommands As UInteger
        cmdApplicationMenu = 1000
        cmdButtonNew = 1001
        cmdButtonOpen = 1002
        cmdButtonSave = 1003
        cmdButtonPrint = 1004
        cmdButtonExit = 1005
    End Enum

Declare the commands
        Private _applicationMenu As RibbonApplicationMenu
        Private _buttonNew As RibbonButton
        Private _buttonOpen As RibbonButton
        Private _buttonSave As RibbonButton
        Private _buttonExit As RibbonButton
        Private _buttonPrint As RibbonButton

Create the buttons


             _applicationMenu = New RibbonApplicationMenu(_ribbon, CUInt(RibbonMarkupCommands.cmdApplicationMenu))
            _buttonNew = New RibbonButton(_ribbon, CUInt(RibbonMarkupCommands.cmdButtonNew))
            _buttonOpen = New RibbonButton(_ribbon, CUInt(RibbonMarkupCommands.cmdButtonOpen))
            _buttonSave = New RibbonButton(_ribbon, CUInt(RibbonMarkupCommands.cmdButtonSave))
            _buttonPrint = New RibbonButton(_ribbon, CUInt(RibbonMarkupCommands.cmdButtonPrint))
            _buttonExit = New RibbonButton(_ribbon, CUInt(RibbonMarkupCommands.cmdButtonExit))

Add Handler
            AddHandler _buttonNew.ExecuteEvent, AddressOf _buttonNew_ExecuteEvent
            AddHandler _buttonOpen.ExecuteEvent, AddressOf _buttonOpen_ExecuteEvent
            AddHandler _buttonPrint.ExecuteEvent, AddressOf _buttonPrint_ExecuteEvent

And use it
Private Sub _buttonPrint_ExecuteEvent(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ExecuteEventArgs)

            Dim frm As New DotSpatial.Controls.LayoutForm
            frm.MapControl = Map1
            frm.Show()
        End Sub

You'll need to create an extension that wraps that ribbon and implements IHeaderControl or inherits from HeaderControl.

There's not a lot of documentation on this, but you can see how we wrap the DevExpress Ribbon at dotspatialapp.codeplex.com

We'd love to see your contribution added to the feed when it is ready!

By having the implementation in an extension, you can use which ever implementation you prefer without modifying your code. Just drop the extension into your plugins folder.

Does this help?
