Is there anyone who knows how to get a ribbon-toolbar (like the ones in
Office 2007) in a VB.NET 2005 application? Is there some patent prohibiting
people from using it? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't recommend to use such a control yet. Office will be the only
application which comes with this type of user interface and it strongly
depends on the users' reactions whether this control will be spread more
widely or not. I think that 'MainMenu' or 'MenuStrip' are still the way to
go.
 
Thanks, Tim. I was hoping for a free implementation, so I'll keep hunting
around, but in the meantime that will do perfectly.
