VCL Ribbon - ExpressBars and the Office 2010 Look and Feel plus Mini Toolbar

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 !

Looks amazing. Much thanks for the Delphi love.

Very nice Ray. Great to see the blogs on all the new functionality coming down the road.

Is the glass extending down to the ribbon in those shots? It's pretty hard to tell with nothing in the background.

btw Bernd, zone selectors were introduced in VS2005 ;)

Why don't you implement Diamond docking zone selectors ??

This is the docking zone selection mode used in VS 2008 and VS 2010 and I would like to use it in my applications.

I have no use for that Ribbon nonsense but I would really like the docking mechanism to be updated to support the Visual Studio style for docking zone selection.

Can you plese implement that for Expressbars 7 ?

Thank you.

Howdy Ray! You are still around<g>! It's been a few years. Hope all is well.

Looks great! Is there any timeframe known when the new Bars will be available?

That mini-toolbar looks like a superuseful feature :) I hope I will be able to pop it up *anywhere* like both in LayoutControl, Editors, In-place Editors and View areas!
