Do You Use an UI Component to Style Your Applications?

Text Control is surveying developers to identify which third-party UI component suites they use, focusing on ribbonbar controls modeled after Office 2007. The goal is to reduce the effort required to map TX Text Control toolbar functionality into existing UI component frameworks.

Do You Use an UI Component to Style Your Applications?

We are currently trying to find out how to improve the support for other third-party components. I know that many of you are using a third-party UI component suite to style your applications based on the latest guidelines from Microsoft Office for example.

Consider the ribbonbar introduced with Microsoft Office 2007. It is a form of a toolbar that replaces the menus and the regular buttonbar. It quickly makes sense that a ribbon can't be integrated into a component like TX Text Control due to the fact that it is more a menu than a specific toolbar.

Nevertheless, the functionality of the shipped TX Text Control buttonbar can be integrated into a third-party ribbonbar. The TX Text Control API offers the complete interface to create your own toolbars. On the other hand, the integration can be very complex and time-consuming.

That is the reason why we are currently trying to figure out how we can help you to integrate the functionality into your already used UI component suites.

We prepared a quick survey to find out which component suites our users are using. It is quickly done - just 3 short questions. Please take the time to complete the following survey in order to help you to offer an effortless integration with third-party UI components:
