Ribbon Control
https://documentation.devexpress.com/#WindowsForms/CustomDocument2492
The Ribbon Control replaces traditional toolbars and menus with tabbed pages.
Each Page splits into Groups that contain various command buttons (bar item links).
Note:
Regular bars (a BarManager component) and Ribbon Controls may conflict with each other when used in the same form or user control.
Ribbon UI
To build a Ribbon UI, add RibbonControl and RibbonStatusBar objects to a form.
However, the Ribbon Form is the best choice, as this form is optimized to display the Ribbon Control.
The following image shows a Ribbon Form painted in the Office2010 style:
Compared to an XtraForm, the Ribbon Form provides the following advantages:
- The Quick Access Toolbar is displayed within the Ribbon Form title.
- When the Application Button is painted using the Office 2007 style, it partially overlaps the Ribbon Form's title bar.
- The Ribbon Form supports Form Title Bar Skinning, window transparency (see RibbonForm.AllowFormGlass), and maintains two captions (RibbonControl.ApplicationCaption and RibbonControl.ApplicationDocumentCaption) separated by a dash.
Ribbon Elements
The Ribbon Control consists of two regions.
- Command Region - Displays various commands combined into Groups and Pages.
- Quick Access Toolbar - Displays frequently used commands. End-users can add commands to this bar at runtime.
