Application Menu
The ribbon's application menu is displayed by clicking the large round button in the upper left hand side of the ribbon.
The application menu should generally be populated by application-wide menu items such as new, open, save file operations
as well as other operations such as printing.

A section at the bottom of the application menu can used for footer buttons.
Generally items such as application options and application exiting are displayed there.
The right side of the application menu can host any sort of content,
although we recommend using our built-in recent document menu control if it makes sense to do so for your application.
Recent Document Menu
A recent document menu control is included with Actipro Ribbon that manages a list of recent documents
and handles all the sorting for you.
It even supports the pinning of items.
Use this control on the right side of the application when applicable.
Hiding the Application Button
Ribbon includes an option to hide the application button, in case you don't wish to provide access to the application menu.
