Hello!

Is it possible to use Ribbon in the style of Windows 7 in Windows Forms projects in C ++? If so, how can this be done?

PS mfc not offer the option with mfc , because there, firstly, the Ribbon old, and secondly, I don’t want to mfc involved with mfc .

PPS Preferably without using paid components.

Thanks in advance for the answer!

    The most sensible way without using MFC that I saw is Windows 7 Ribbon: The Time Has Come, Your Win32 Application Will Change .

    There, all the ribbon markings are loaded from xml, which can be done by hand or, for example, use a tool like Visual Ribbon Creator

    The code code example is far from the best, but it helps to understand the meaning.

    In general, of course, writing GUI in C ++ is a thankless and difficult task, for example, in the very same Sharpe, everything would be much easier.
