Delphi 2009 Ribbon Controls - Glass Frame

Question

I've been starting to use the new inbuilt Ribbon controls in Delphi 2009 and use the custom frame so the Application button and Mini-toolbar slide up onto the Window Frame, but I'm wondering if on Vista it should use the glass effect like Office 2007 does, and if so how I would enable this setting.

Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately it doesn't appear that that CodeGear implementation of the Ribbon control is compatible with the glass frame. Something about the way it draws disables it.

That is unfortunate, really diminishes the usefulness of the ribbon in regards to nicer UI design. Thanks for the help. – Oct 09 '08 at 11:45

You can try this http://www.bilsen.com/windowsribbon/index.shtml

It interfaces the Native Ribbon Framework and works beautifully.
