Does SharpUI for .NET supports Framework ver 2.0 and visual studio 2005

08-06-2007, 9:25 AM

Hi,

We are migrating existing application developed in VB6.0 which uses Data Dynamics ActiverBar 2.0 control for UI. Can we use SharpUI controls to replace the ActiverBar control in VB.NET 2005.

Best Regards,

Krishna Chavan

Krishna,
        Thank you for your question. SUI is a toolbar control similar to AB, so much of the functionality should be similar. Please feel free to download our fully functional trial version to see if it meets your needs before making a purchasing decision.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thank you!

Hi ericc,

 We have downloaded the trial version and converted the ActiverBar 2.0 layout to SharpUI using the converter. I am not able to find few of the events for ActiveBar2 control.

For example : "BandDock" event, I am not able to find the equivalent event in SharpUI.

Is there any list available which I can use to get the names of the events, properties and methods which are modified in the SharpUI.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Krishna Chavan

Krishna,
    Thank you for your question. A similar event is SUI would be the toolbars DockAreaChange Event.

Ex:
private void toolbar1_DockAreaChange(object sender, DataDynamics.SharpUI.Toolbars.ToolbarManagerEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(this.toolbar1.DockingArea.ToString());
}

Attached is a small sample that uses this event to display (in the output window) the area you are docking the toolbar.

Also, unfortunately we do not have any documentation describing what SUI events, properties, and methods are ActiveBars equivalent as these products are considered two separate products though they have many similarities. However, you can find some helpful SUI information here and here.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thank you!

Hi Eric,

How can I disable the Button Tool, I don't find the "Enabled" property in SharpUI button tool object.

Best Regards,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I am not sure I completely understand what button tool you are referring to. In my testing I have been able to disable a uiButton by setting the Enabled property to false.

Ex:

this.uiButton1.Enabled = false;

Thanks,

Eric,

I am not using uiButton, but using the instance of  these controls "DataDynamics.SharpUI.Toolbars.ButtonTool" and "DataDynamics.SharpUI.Toolbars.ListTool".  Can you tell me how can I disable these tools under Toolbar and Menubar?

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

Krishna

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, there is not an Enabled property associated with a toolbars button tool; however, a case such as this could be handled by providing or limiting the functionality of the button when clicked using a condition in the ToolClick event.

Thanks,
