I must admit for a pure SQL guy I am a fan of GUI development and nothing is more appealing than a well developed Ribbon control. Well, the people behind the Krypton Ribbon have a new release on the way and it includes a really cool Gallery feature as seen in the 2007 Office Suite.

If you want to see what the Gallery looks like check out this blog entry from the source; Component Factory Blog

If you don’t mind giving out your email, they offer a FREE trial of the Ribbon and Navigator package. There’s also the excellent totally FREE Toolkit available. Go grab it now from:

A new control has been added to the excellent Krypton Toolkit, the Krypton Command. This allows you to group settings together and assign the group to a control. For instance, you could have the Text property set to Katmai then assign the command to a number of controls, each control’s Text property will be shown as Katmai. Making a change in the command will change all the controls. Its really about reducing code I guess for controls that have common or the same function. Excellent work.
