As i got little time to write a full documentation (feel free to help me with that) i would strongly advice to have a look at the showcase/sample application which shows the usage of most of the features available in the library.

Version 3.0

Major changes

  • Office 2013 theme is now included
  • MVVM support got better (yet not complete, please file a bug for things you need to work)
  • Samples are not divided anymore (all features shown there are now present in the showcase application)
  • All resource reference are now of type "DynamicResource" see comments for changeset https://fluent.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/3572af781b96
  • We now use the WindowChrome class provided by Microsoft instead of custom code to render in the non client area
  • Large amount of fixed bugs
  • Style resources have been improved. That means you now have to include "Themes/Generic.xaml" to get Office 2010 silver and you can just import "Themes/Office2010/Black.xaml" etc. afterwards to get the different colors. To use the Office 2013 theme you can omit "Themes/Generic.xaml" and include "Themes/Office2013/Generic.xaml" instead. You can use RibbonWindow for Office 2010 or Office 2013 themes and you can switch between those at runtime. The showcase application shows how you can do that.

Breaking changes

  • DropDownButton now inherits from ItemsControl instead of MenuBase, this makes it necessary to wrap MenuItems in a Menu when used there (as it is done anywhere else in WPF). Inheriting from MenuBase caused a lot of problems. There are samples in the showcase application which show the correct/new usage. DropDownMenuStyle is the keyword you should look for.
  • No control in this library sets IsFocusScope=True anymore. This means that ApplicationCommands (such as paste, cut or copy), when bound to a button, don't get enabled when you would expect them to be activated. The showcase application uses those buttons with IsFocusScope=True.

Known issues

  • The window width is one px less than it should be to avoid a nasty bug regarding maximized windows. So in case your resolution is 1920x1080 it's 1919x1050 (-30 height to take taskbar into account). Please see https://fluent.codeplex.com/workitem/22490
  • DropDownButton menu breaks Windows Forms keys https://fluent.codeplex.com/workitem/22472. This is because we inherit from MenuBase which does some nasty state management to which we couldn't find a way to work around in our library. Please use the workaround described in the issue if you need it to work.
