How to make Ribbon gallery in Delphi XE2?


I am biting my way through the Ribbon and I got to yet another problem - how do I make dropdown menu, dropdown gallery or just a gallery? I will show you what I mean in screenshots; this question might a bit general, but I think this is as close as I can get.


Dropdown gallery: This is a dropdown gallery

I can't figure out how to create a gallery that would show on click at all. Even if it did, how do I fill in the pictures/buttons?


Gallery: enter image description here

Same as above. No luck here.


I want to make a color selection galleries (both dropdown and 'normal') and this seems to be the best way - I don't want a button that would just open a ColorDialog on clicking.

Thanks for your help

  • I would post some code, but I don't see any relevant I could provide, since this is more like a GUI-related problem.

Solution

  • I haven't figured out how to do it, but I found this wonderful tool for Delphi - it works without problems so far. It is a little tricky to get used to, but it works pretty logically. Plus it has everything I can think of.
