Actipro Ribbon is a control suite that implements an Office 2007-like user interface for
the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). It meets 100% of the required and optional
Microsoft licensing requirements
for implementation of a ribbon user interface, and is the most feature-rich WPF ribbon available today.
The ribbon user interface was designed to replace the standard types of menus and toolbars that have been used
in applications for the past 10+ years.
Ribbons consolidate all user interface commands into a single location, which is easy to use and scales
up and down well, thereby providing fast access to all commands regardless of window size.

Extensive Documentation, Samples and Designer Functionality
While we have spent a lot of time perfecting the design of Actipro Ribbon and its run-time capabilities,
we also realize that the key to successfully integrating a product of its type into your own applications
is that you understand how to effectively work with the product.
We have worked very hard to make Actipro Ribbon the most developer-friendly product out there by building:
-
Thorough Documentation - Help topics cover all controls and product features in great detail.
-
Full Source Demos and QuickStarts - Our Sample Browser includes the full commented source code for over 35 samples,
including demos that show off end-result product functionality and QuickStarts that focus on individual feature areas.
-
Visual Studio 2008 Designer Functionality - By using our
state-of-the-art VS 2008 designer support
you can create an enormous Ribbon and its child controls in minutes. Use task panes
to set common properties on controls, select images from you project's resources via an image picker,
drag controls around in the Ribbon, design the collapsing behavior of tab groups, and much more.
-
Code Analysis Conformance - We scan all our pre-obfuscated WPF control product code through the
Visual Studio Code Analysis tool (formerly FxCop) and resolve all warnings
to help ensure that our code is well designed and meets official standards.
In summary, if you want the most feature-rich Ribbon for WPF available, made by a company that understands your needs,
download Actipro Ribbon today.
