The EiffelRibbon library contains the classes that are used to implement the ribbon facilities. The classes in the EiffelRibbon library all have class names beginning "EV_", the default prefix for EiffelVision 2 classes. So the EiffelRibbon classes can be seen as an extension to the EiffelVision 2 library. If you've used EiffelVision 2 to create applications with graphical user interfaces, then the EiffelRibbon class won't look unfamiliar to you. However, unlike other EiffelVision 2 classes, the EiffelRibbon classes only work in applications targeted to Microsoft Windows. @@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ So, if you've used EiffelBuild, the the EiffelRibbon design tool should seem qui The typical usage of the design tool is much like the typical usage of EiffelBuild. -* Create a new project ( File ->New Project... ) and choose a location for your EiffelRibbon project. +* Create a new project ( File -> New Project... ) and choose a location for your EiffelRibbon project. * Configure the ribbon by adding elements, name the elements, and choose icons for buttons. * Save the project. * Generate the code. @@ -66,11 +66,14 @@ Initial distribution: :A class EV_RIBBON_TITLED_WINDOW is provided with the library.
