Microsoft Ribbon for WPF RTW FTW

  • Artikel

Did I fit enough acronyms (or as my editor friend corrects me… initialisms) in the title there? ;)

I see over on the WPF Blog that the Ribbon (first introduced in Office 2007) has been released for you (the developer) to include in your applications.  Many great screenshots at the WPF Blog Post.  From the description:

This release is a managed implementation of the Ribbon for WPF. The Ribbon is a command bar that organizes the features of an application into a series of tabs at the top of the application window, is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task. The Ribbon user interface (UI) increases discoverability of features and functions, enables quicker learning of the application, and helps users feel more in control of their experience with the application. The Ribbon replaces the traditional menu bar and toolbars.
