Merry Christmas! Every year between Christmas and New Year's, I like to work on a fun project, such as learning a new technique or writing some cool utility. Last year, I worked on the open source version of Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro. This year, I created an open source Microsoft Office 365-like ribbon control for VFP forms.
Here's a sample form containing the ribbon control that resembles Microsoft Outlook. It has two tabs: Home and Send / Receive. Clicking a tab displays the toolbar for that tab.
Here's the Send / Receive tab:
So far, I've included two themes: Colorful (above) and Dark Grey (below):
Themes are defined as RGB colors in an XML file so it's a simple matter to add another theme.
The ribbon control is 100% VFP code. Please try it out and let me know of any enhancements you'd like by creating issues in the GitHub repository for the project.
