I'm trying to customize the WPF Ribbon control. For some changes I need to access the default template of the ribbon. E.g. to remove the lower border.
I used Expression Blend to generate the Ribbon template, but the template I got has errors. There are some bindings that are not working: "{Binding (0)}".
How can I get the correct ribbon template to change colors and remove borders?
Best regards.

I have a richtext textbox control that works nicely enough. I can change the formatting of the text if I use the mouse to select some text--then the contextual formatting menu appears and I can select the various formats that I want (e.g., bold, ital., highlighting color, text color, etc.).
However, I'd like the formatting menu to appear at other time, for example, on right-click, or, when text is selected using cursor keys, or, when some key combination or command button is clicked.
I've searched for how to use VBA to bring up the formatting context menu but have found nothing.
Anyone know the VBA code to bring up the formatting context menu for a MS Access richtext textbox control?
That is not possible I'm afraid.
Two common solutions are adding the formatting options to the ribbon, and creating your own custom formatting menu, in combination with hotkeys. (Some already present, such as Ctrl-b for bold.)
Let me know if you need any help with either direction.
I need to define my company-branded color palette for SSRS. This should be re-usable over several reports. I realized that I sometimes need to redefine the custom palette again and again, sometimes even on different controls in the same report, but always on a new report. I know I could copy and paste the colors in the RDL file but I want to avoid that
So I wondered since I know we can write extensions for reporting services, if there is a chance to change or create one of the default color palettes that already are shipped with ssrs? I looked around to find their definition on the Reporting Server but no luck. Anyone knows more?
I haven't found a way to change the default palettes in SSRS or even add a new one that can be used.
The most helpful thing I found to do was to create a custom palette in one chart. Then you can use that same custom palette in other charts. You can copy and paste the chart into new reports to use the same palette or make a template report with the chart (and the custom colors in it).

My current problem with using the custom palette is that the border has to be the same color as the fill color. This doesn't work with my new color scheming with dark borders and light fills:
I've got around this by creating a table in the database with the 9 corporate colour schemes included. I've also adapted the default report template so that it includes a dataset called "Palette" for the colours. I then just use =First(Fields!Official,"Palette") as an expression for the colours where needed. I also have to change the colours for staff with particular visual needs so using this I can select the scheme appropriate for the staff member whilst having the official palette used in other cases.
I would like to change the border color of a main menu form in Access. It currently shows with my office theme color, but would like to customize it to my company's color, #0048BD.
Function autoexec()
On Error GoTo autoexec_Err
DoCmd.OpenForm "Main Menu", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
autoexec_Exit:
Exit Function
autoexec_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume autoexec_Exit
End Function
Modifying the colors and fonts of form components
To customize the appearance of your forms, you can apply different colors and fonts to individual fields, buttons, labels, and other form components. Modifying form appearance this way is useful if you want to use a certain color or font scheme in a form but don't want these design elements to apply to your entire database.
For instance, in the form below I modified the font of form title, also applied a new fill and border color to the form fields and are doing the same with the command buttons.
You can make these changes using formatting techniques and tools similar to the ones you would use to modify shapes in Word and other Office programs. Simply select the object you want to modify while in Layout or Design view and use the formatting options on the Format tab to customize its appearance.
Access colour palette
Access colour palette can be manipulated to give you other colours.
In the palette source, select Define Custom Colors. You can create any variation on the existing basic Red-Blue-Green.
Check the microsoft documentation for the property
Another good discussion is - http://database.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/access-l/using-ms-access-to-generate-pallet-labels-3008589
When I create a form, Access automatically creates an "auto_logo" placeholder. I manually change its properties to the logo I want to use.
I think if I could change the default picture, new forms would appear with the logo I want to use.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

I'm using ComboBox from Liquid Components and I would like to customize the colors that appear as background for the items. I can see that the component has different colors but I can't tell how I can switch between colors using actions script.
