Hello fellow Xbase++ programmers,
I've been working on integrating my Xbase++ applications with the O/S 
ribbons (available since Windows 7) for six weeks now. I've reached a 
stage where I can safely use them in my productive applications. Being 
based on COM techniques for communicating with the host application they 
were tailor-made for the Cockpit COM and GUI libraries. If there's 
sufficient interest they could be made available for the native Xbase++ 
GUI. To give you an impression what your application could look like 
with a ribbon I've uploaded the test program (executable and source) I 
used for exploring the ribbon behavior. If you're interested, let me 
know. The program was compiled using 1.90.355.
Best regards
Michael
