Is there any examples of creating a ribbon style menu similar to how Microsoft Office does?

I don't use Office. Picture?

Best,

@Mark: This video at Jensen Harris' old site is well worth the watch:

The other posts there have screenshots and such, but the video tells what I feel is an exciting story in UI research.

@Jesse: You can use groups to have the sort of dynamic toolbars Ribbons provide. There's no built-in shortcut for them in LiveCode, but even in MS Visual Studio they're a fair amount of work because you need to lay out their controls. Not that much harder with LiveCode - make a gradient graphic at the back of the group, put some controls on it, and you're in business.

Hi,

I have no clue how that website would be relevant to find out something about ribbons.
