Office 2010 Blue for UltraExplorerBar

I'm also interested in the Office 2010 style for the ExplorerBar in Outlook style.

Me too the 'new features' for the 2010.3 release on the website says:

"This release includes an all new Microsoft® Office® 2010 Blue style across our complete Windows Forms toolset"

This unfortunatley does not appear to be true as far as i can tell at the minimum the following do not support it:

• UltraWinStatusBar.ViewStyle
• UltraWinExplorerBar.UltraExplorerBarViewStyle
• GroupBoxViewStyle

Basically all the things that would give you the ability to make an app look like a 2010 app

Any chance we can get an update?

Yes - this is ridiculous - there is no point having partial support!!! I have been waiting nearly a year for Office 2010 support while all the other major vendors have had 2010 ribbons etc all along - and now Infragistics delviery this !!! Its terrible.

Time to move onto another vendor.

Is there any news on this issue? Will the Office 2010 style be included in the 2011-1 release? It is really important, because without the Explorer Bar supporting the 2010 style, I cannot apply this style to my app. It is supported by all other controls, so it would look really odd if the Explorer Bar is still in 2007 style.

Can anyone tell me why in the 11.1 update the Office 2010 style is still not implemented in the Outlook bar? From your newsletter:

Build rich, line of business user interfaces with a Windows® experience and Office 2010 style throughout every control.

Obviously not in every control :(  I renewed my subscrition last year just for the Office 2010 style and it's still not there.

I would highly recommend following this link to submit a feature request for this to get even more attention. Behind the scenes I have contacted some key people to bring information about the Office 2010 ViewStyle to light.

For the time being, other than submitting a feature request it would be possible to emulate the Office 2010 look and feel through the use of the Office2010Blue.isl style file.

Hello,

We shipped the Office 2010 blue theme with 2010.3. You can grab the style from here, if you used the default install location:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Infragistics\NetAdvantage 2011.1\Windows Forms\AppStylist for Windows Forms\Styles

It uses app styling manager, so check out this video to see how you can bring an isl style into your app.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Hello Taz

Thank you, I'll look into this! Hopefully it will work, that would be great!

Kind regards,

Hi.

The Office2010 viewstyle still wasn't implemented in the UltraExplorerBar in V11.2. I haven't submitted a feature request as I have just run into this issue, and from this (quite old) thread it seemed that Torrey Betts had contacted someone about it (although there was no promise that there would be done something about it).

Also, the link to the video seems to be broken. I found some videoes about the AppStylist in the video-section, but nothing seemed to be what I was looking for.

Are there any plans to implement the Office2010 style (or newer styles, for that matter) for the UltraExplorerBar?

Hello Lars,

You could use this style by opening the AppStylist application. Please click on the File menu, then 'New Style Library', click Next and then you have the option to choose between the office2010 styles, and take a look at the ExplorerBar.
