Windows Ribbon: HTMLEdit with a Ribbon
This sample shows markup and code required to migrate an existing MFC application to use the Windows Ribbon. It was created by taking the existing Microsoft HTMLEdit sample application and modifying its code and resources to make use of the Windows Ribbon. The original HTMLEdit sample can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ea8hhwb6(VS.80).aspx
To view the code changes necessary for migrating this application to the Windows Ribbon, consider using a file comparison tool (for example, WinDiff) to see the changes that were made to the original sample. Also, please note that the original HTMLEdit sample code no longer reflects best coding practices; as a result, any legacy HTMLEdit code in the HTMLEditRibbon port should not be considered representative of today's best coding practices for Win32 applications.
Noteworthy Files:
.\ReadMe.txt - Describes the sample's purpose, and how to build and run the sample.
.\CPP\HTMLEdit.sln - Visual Studio solution file. Load this file to view and compile the sample.
.\CPP\Ribbon\ribbonmarkup.xml - Markup file containing the ribbon UI command and layout definitions.
.\CPP\res\*.bmp - Original HTMLEdit resources, as well as new bitmap images used for the ribbon.
Prerequisites:
1. Microsoft Windows operating system capable of displaying the Windows Ribbon (Windows 7; Vista support to be added)
2. Microsoft Windows SDK v7.0 (minimum)
3. Visual Studio 2008 (Express Edition supported)
Building the Sample:
To build the sample using the command prompt:
==============================================
1. Open an SDK CMD Shell window and navigate to the .\CPP directory of the sample.
2. Type: msbuild htmledit.sln /P:Platform=win32
To build the sample using Visual Studio (preferred method):
==============================================
1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the .\CPP directory of the sample.
2. Double-click the icon for htmledit.sln (solution) file to open the file in Visual Studio.
3. In the Build menu, select Build Solution. The application will be built in the "Debug" or "Release" directory.
To run the sample:
=================
1. Navigate to the directory that contains the newly built executable, using the command prompt or Windows Explorer.
2. Type HTMLEdit.exe at the command line, or double-click on HTMLEdit.exe to launch it from Windows Explorer.
Comments:
- The source code contains comments inline that help to describe what the code is doing. Read these for more information.
- Some functionality of the original HTMLEdit sample has not been implemented in the Ribbon UI. For example, the Bold/Italics/Underline commands have not been hooked up.
