VCL Ribbon - ExpressBars and Backstage Views

      

I've already mentioned that our VCL team is hard at work on the QuantumGrid Suite v7.

The good news for those using our VCL Ribbon is that ExpressBars v7 is also on the horizon and promises a number of highly requested features...among them -- Ribbon Backstage Views

Here are a few early images of how we've implemented Backstage Views in our VCL Ribbon Component.

Looks really good..

What does backstage mean?

Maybe this view can stay on bottom and all other forms can be opened in front of it without having to be mdi child forms??

Maybe this can be a solution for the forms z-order (messing up) issue of Delphi 7???

It is very cool. And I hope we can see a screen about docking system too.

Can you please give me some info about when Expressbars will provide support for Diamond docking zone selectors like those avaibale in Visual Studio 2008 for years ?

Will this ever be added to the product ?

Thank you !

Great looking backstage view!

@Manolis: The backstage view was introduced in the new Office 2010 and replaced the dropdown-menu from the application-button with a full sized window.

Not very sure if this is the proper place to express my wishes (already did it with support), but again I think Express Editors is in deep need of improvement. Validation and proper display of null values would be my priorities.

We don't plan to include this capability in the major release.
