Hi there,
I have an application that needs to be built and the Outlook style of application is the closest I can get to explaining how our UI will work.
So far we will have the following:
Where I get confused is:
I'm assuming the content that appears in the right side window (in Outlook's case this would be the mail items view, or the calender day view) should be built using separate windows. If that's correct do we load those windows as controls into the right side of the split container? (what is the norm when it comes to this kind of scenario?)
When we switch from Mail to Calender, how do we change the RibbonBar to be specific to that feature as is done in Outlook?
Thanks
Jacques
I have an application that needs to be built and the Outlook style of application is the closest I can get to explaining how our UI will work.
So far we will have the following:
- A RibbonBar
- A PageView for Navigating between subsections of the application (exactly like Outlook switches between mail and calender)
- A SplitContainer to split the left side navigation from the actual content on the right
