Fluent Ribbon Control Suite Changelog

What's new in Fluent Ribbon Control Suite 10.1.0

Mar 31, 2024
  • Bug fixes:
  • Simplified state was not updated when items changed
  • ScreenTip is not DPI aware
  • MenuItems, having a submenu, do not stay highlighted when MenuItem from the submenu is highlighted
  • LauncherIcon not rendered correctly and items in QAT can be removed from QAT in it's popup
  • Popup of DropDownButton/SplitButton has unwanted MinHeight
  • Enhancements/Features:
  • Performance of measuring (and thus rendering) of RibbonTabItem (and it's contents) was improved by reducing the amount of measures required.
  • Most of the time there should only be one or two measure calls when switching tabs, compared to six or eight in case of the showcase application.
  • This is mostly achieved by getting rid of internal caching. The caching turned out to be more expensive than not caching at all.
  • Added RibbonProperties.CustomIconSize as an attached property. This is used inside control templates to set CustomSize of IconPresenter.
  • Default value of IsHitTestVisible is now false on IconPresenter.
  • RibbonComboBox cannot be customized based on the original RibbonComboBox style (thanks @nishy2000)
  • Padding and BorderBrush of the gallery control do not work (thanks @nishy2000)
