PowerBuilder Ribbon Control

PowerToTheBuilder is working hard to develop a new Ribbon\Menu control for PowerBuilder applications. This new object is going to be PowerBuilders take on the Office Ribbon. Instead of calling it a Ribbon, it will most likely be refered to as a enhanced menu (PowerMenu). The idea is to make the entire control render based on the items that are on the windows menu. See image below.
 

  
 
There will be some setup required in order to get everything looking and working properly. All items are rendered based on the order that they appear in the menu. If you want to change the order, you have to rearrange your menu items. Attributes in the menu items tag propertly will be used to control how items are displayed. For example, to put an item in a group you would add the following to the menu items tag:
 
group:File
 
To make an item appear as a large icon, you would add the following:
 
group:File;size:large
 
To hide text and only display an icon (icon is driven from the toolbar item property on the menu item):
 
group:File;displaytext:false
Or
group:File;size:large;displaytext:false  // to display as large icon with no text
 
 
If no group is specified, the menu item will be put into it's own group. The group name will be the same as the menu item text.
 
I'll post more updates in the coming days.

You get all the source when you purchase the components. If you've already purchased them, you would get the source from the same like that was emailed to you after you made the purchase.

Thanks for all the complements.
