Overview
Important
This older Ribbon product has been deprecated in favor of the newer ribbon implementation in the Bars product, which has a much-improved design and appearance, and many of the latest features currently found in Office. This product will be removed in a future release, so it is recommended to migrate away from this older Ribbon product to the newer Bars ribbon when possible.
Actipro Ribbon has been designed from the ground up to mimic Office themes, yet allow further customization, and make complete use of WPF styles.
Ribbon includes all three built-in Office themes, all Windows system themes, allows you to generate themes of your own with one line of code, and even allows you to examine or modify any of the hundreds of colors used in each color scheme.
Ribbon comes packaged with a number of styles that may be reused in your own controls (such as listboxes) so that you can keep a consistent user interface throughout your application.
Application Button Content
Ribbon supports several different layout and content styles for the application button.
See the Application Button Content topic for more information.
Themes
Ribbon uses hundreds of brushes to define the themes used throughout the ribbon user interface and comes packaged with nine default themes. Brushes may be reused in your application to help you maintain a consistent user interface.
See the Themes topic for more information.
