When will you guys have an Outlook style scheduling component for WPF?
Hi Joe, can’t really say for sure. We are still looking into what makes most sense to add first and there are couple of options on the table. Please contact me with your requirements (db @ devcomponents.com ) and I will make sure we consider it for future releases.
Is there any way to change the current color theme in XAML alone?
Dustin, no there is not, but you just do it with single line of code like:
AppRibbon.ChangeColorScheme(eRibbonVisualStyle.Black)
