What’s New for WinToolbarsManager

Ribbon Customization

With the release of Office 2010, Microsoft® provides their users the ability to customize the layout of the Ribbon within each Office application. This release of Ultimate UI for Windows Forms 2011 Volume 1 provides the ability for end users to modify WinToolbarsManager™ component’s Ribbon layout, in a similar manner.

New Component – WinRibbonCustomizationProvider™

The customization is achieved with a new component called WinRibbonCustomizationProvider™, which when hooked to WinToolbarsManager provides a new dialog that exposes the customization functionality.

In C#:

using Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars;
this.ultraToolbarsManager1.Ribbon.RibbonCustomizationProvider = this.ultraRibbonCustomizationProvider1;

In Visual Basic:

Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars
Me.ultraToolbarsManager1.Ribbon.RibbonCustomizationProvider = this.ultraRibbonCustomizationProvider1

New Context Menu Items – Customize the Ribbon and Customize Quick Access Toolbar

Two new context menu items – Customize the Ribbon and Customize Quick Access Toolbar is automatically available on the Ribbon as soon as the WinRibbonCustomizationProvider component is hooked up to WinToolbarsManager.
