Office 2007 Style Forms

[Martin]

Hi everyone!

I would like to use a control which change the standard Windows Form
Style to the Form Style used in Microsoft Office 2007.

DevComponents has developed a component which do the job
(http://www.devcomponents.com/dotnetbar/ - see number 21) but I don't
have money to buy this component.

Do you know if a component like that exist in a Freeware version? Do
you have an idea of how they build that ?

Thanks,

Martin

Martin,

I can't imagine there is a freeware version. Office 2007 is so new
(with the ribbon component) that only paid vendors are going to do something
like this, I imagine.

You are probably going to have to resort to paying for it.

That said, DevComponents has the best pricing (an in my opinion the best
implementation) for the same component. Other vedors are not as affordable
and offer much less in terms of features. The features in question actually
add to the experience. So, if you want superior quality, then $180 isn't a
lot to ask for this. Other vendors easily charge twice that and have fewer
features.
