Switch between ToolStrip and Ribbon

[Edgar Ferreira]

I want to dynamically switch between the old fashioned MenuStrip/ToolStrip mode and the Ribbon mode (according to user settings).

I searched the forum for some tips, but no answers! Did anyone here perform something like this before?
Thanks in advance.

P.S: my application MenuStrip changes accoding to loaded plugins, so thats why I need the Ribbon to be built dynamically.

You could use an ActionList or something to handle the buttons on toolstrip and ribbon. Just Google for an example or have a look at CodeProject.

As I understand, ActionList and KryptonCommand have the same purpose. Am I right?
The problem is that KryptonCommand is only usable in Krypton controls.

But I see your point, using ActionLists I avoid setting all events and properties repeatedly.
I'll give it a try and post some feedback later!

Yes indeed, the reason why I pointed at the ActionList instead of the KryptonCommand is we where working with such a component before we used Krypton, and never used KryptonCommand.

You could inherit from it or change the source to use it for other controls too.
