<Ribbon Feature Walkthrough ⁄ >

The WPF team is excited to debut the preview version of our new WPF Ribbon control starting on Monday, October 27, 2008! Binaries and source code for the Ribbon can be downloaded at the Office UI Licensing site.

The preview version of the WPF Ribbon includes many of the features which Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) need to add a Ribbon control to their WPF applications. Ribbon is a command bar that organizes a program's features into a series of tabs at the top of a window. The Ribbon UI was designed by Microsoft Office to increase discoverability of features and functions, enable quicker learning of the program as a whole, and make users feel more in control of their experience with the program. The Ribbon is designed to replace the traditional menu bar and toolbars. The WPF Ribbon will include all of the basic Ribbon features and functionality, including tabs, groups, controls (buttons, split buttons, galleries, etc.), title bar integration of the application menu button and quick access toolbar, and resizing with dynamic layout.
