Ribbon menu with MVVM support
Easily deliver an Office-inspired user interface
Using the DevExpress Ribbon control, you can easily emulate the Microsoft Office end-user experience in your WPF applications. From Office 2007 to Office 2019, the WPF Ribbon supports all available Office styles and UI metaphors (Office Universal and Tablet UI), so you can combine the look, feel and functionality of the MS Office versions used in your enterprise.
The DevExpress Ribbon control is fully compatible with the MVVM design pattern, binds its properties to the view model, and generates categories, pages, groups, and commands. Combined with the integrated MVVM framework, users can easily deliver well-structured, scalable, maintainable and testable WPF applications.
Ribbon command bar and views
Quick Access Toolbar, Status Bar, Application Menu
The DevExpress Ribbon control integrates all traditional toolbars so users can reproduce functionality found in Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
- Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) : Provides one-click access to the most important parts of an application, and users can quickly customize the toolbar to include frequently used commands or remove unwanted commands.
- Status Bar : The Ribbon status bar is displayed at the bottom of the parent window (form) and can be used to communicate application status, apply zoom effects, etc.
- Application Menu (Background View) : As part of Office's smooth user interface, Backstage View provides powerful navigation options, and the DevExpress WPF Ribbon control fully supports all operations that end users are familiar with in Microsoft Office.
Ribbon Commands (Items)
Contains what is needed for the application menu
The DevExpress WPF Ribbon control allows users to display various items in its command bar, these items include traditional buttons, drop-down lists and check boxes, submenus, lists, radio groups and in-ribbon galleries, etc. Users can incorporate individual data entry controls (such as combo boxes or drop-down calendars) in the WPF Data Editor Gallery.
The Ribbon control also includes the following options, designed to help users provide a familiar interface for the best user experience:
- key skills
- keyboard accessibility
- Enhanced Tooltips
DevExpress WPF Controls provides a comprehensive collection of SVG images in over 30 categories containing thousands of high-quality vector icons that can change color according to the application theme.
Ribbon page categories
Standard and contextual tab groups
The page category is the topmost container for storing a single Ribbon page, and there are two different types of page categories available. Standard categories host standard pages, while context categories host context-specific commands.
The DevExpress Ribbon control allows users to create contextual categories (labels), like those found in Microsoft Office, pages that are only displayed when a specific object is selected or the end user performs a specific action.
