Hello,

I would like to know if you’ve done any newer version of this dock?

Hi lossy,

No, I haven’t. I want to do this as a control so that people can use it in their programs, but not getting the time and also there are some small minor issues with the dock 😉

Hi,

Looks like this is Vista dependent. Can this be run on Win XP.
Thanks and Regards

To make this work in XP, replace OnSourceInitialized with

protected override void OnSourceInitialized(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnSourceInitialized(e);

// Vista only
//ExtendGlassFrame extend_glass = new ExtendGlassFrame();
//extend_glass.Extend(this, new Thickness(-1));
}

Hello,

What’s the logic behind the reflections? I’m new to c# and can’t work out how you do them. I’ve tried alpha blending with alpha values from 1 going down to 0.9, 0.8 etc… to have it fade out but it’s really slow. I then tried doing a gradient fill and alpha blending over that, but that makes the reflective surface get darker and you’ve avoided this.

Hi,
Its really a great work. Can I use it as User control.. and If I provide list of menu ITems , it will dynamically generate menus from that.. ?
