Delphi 2009 Ribbon Controls - Glass Frame

Question

I've been starting to use the new inbuilt Ribbon controls in Delphi 2009 and use the custom frame so the Application button and Mini-toolbar slide up onto the Window Frame, but I'm wondering if on Vista it should use the glass effect like Office 2007 does, and if so how I would enable this setting.

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Unfortunately it doesn't appear that that CodeGear implementation of the Ribbon control is compatible with the glass frame. Something about the way it draws disables it.

Answer 2

You can try this http://www.bilsen.com/windowsribbon/index.shtml

It interfaces the Native Ribbon Framework and works beautifully.
