In a nutshell, I need to provide a ribbon QuickAccessToolbar without the ribbon being visible. This is quite easily achieved, but a great problem for me is that the labels on the toolbar items are not visible. Here is my Ribbon:
<Ribbon x:Name="ShellRibbon" Grid.Row="0" IsMinimized="True">
<Ribbon.QuickAccessToolBar>
<RibbonQuickAccessToolBar>
<RibbonSplitButton x:Name ="Save" Label="Save" />
<RibbonSplitButton Label="Employee Access" LabelPosition="Header" >
<RibbonMenuItem Header="Undo action #1" />
<RibbonMenuItem Header="Undo action #2" />
<RibbonMenuItem Header="Undo action #3" />
</RibbonSplitButton>
</RibbonQuickAccessToolBar>
</Ribbon.QuickAccessToolBar>
<RibbonTab>
<RibbonButton Label="One"></RibbonButton>
</RibbonTab>
<RibbonTab></RibbonTab>
</Ribbon>
The RibbonMenuItem headers are visible when I drop down the RibbonSplitButton, but its header isn't visible, and neither that of the Save button. What am I doing wrong?
You have to place your ribbon controls inside a DockPanel :
<Ribbon.QuickAccessToolBar>
<RibbonQuickAccessToolBar>
<DockPanel>
<RibbonSplitButton x:Name ="Save" Label="Save" />
<RibbonSplitButton Label="Employee Access" LabelPosition="Header" >
<RibbonMenuItem Header="Undo action #1" />
<RibbonMenuItem Header="Undo action #2" />
<RibbonMenuItem Header="Undo action #3" />
</RibbonSplitButton>
</DockPanel>
</RibbonQuickAccessToolBar>
</Ribbon.QuickAccessToolBar>

I'm able to implement a WPF ContextMenu on other controls, but it doesn't seem to work on a WebView (Microsoft.Toolkit.Wpf.UI.Controls.WebView).
At the top of the view's XAML, I have the ContextMenu as a StaticResource:
<UserControl.Resources>
<ContextMenu x:Key="cmBrowser" IsEnabled="True" >
<MenuItem Header="Get 1 and 2" />
<Separator />
<MenuItem Header="Get 1" />
<MenuItem Header="Get 2" />
</ContextMenu>
</UserControl.Resources>
Lower in the view, it is implemented on a Label, and it works as expected:
<Label Content="Browser"
ContextMenu="{StaticResource cmBrowser}"
Style="{StaticResource WidgetTitleStyle}"
Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" />
However, it doesn't work on the WebView control, implemented as follows:
<wbv:WebView x:Name="browser"
ContextMenu="{StaticResource cmBrowser}" />
I've tried mucking about in the code-behind, but even events like MouseRightButtonDown/Up aren't firing.
Any advice on how to resolve?
I am using Microsoft's Ribbon of WPF 4.5 and developing application using VS2012 (C#) on Win 8 machine. I want to make my application show RibbonApplicationMenu like the "File"-menu of Office Word 2010, but I can't find out which control is used for it (see attached screenshot, red-marked control number 1 and 2). I also tried RibbonApplicationSplitMenuItem but it is more like Office old-style.
Maybe anyone can tell me. Thank you in advance.
1) I suggest you use the ribbon that's inside .net 4.5 (add a reference to System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon). I'm not sure what you used the external one.
2)What you need for a menu is Ribbon.ApplicationMenu
3) Below is a working ribbon (based on that) that includes several types of buttons as well as a menu that you require.
All you need for this to work is to add an images folder with an "options.png" in it.

Finally I found the answer in wpf sample browser of infragistics netadvantage. The no. 1 is called "backstage" (ribbon 2010 style), no. 2 is a "application menu item".
(in my opinion) The infragistics' ribbon is easier to use than the Microsoft's one, since I can't find tutorial how to create backstage (ribbon 2010 style); the existing tutorials are mostly using old ribbon (2007 style).
Here take a look my simple code snippet:
<Window x:Class="TestRibbon.MainWindow"

The XAML code:
<Canvas>
<Button x:Name="btnCanvasButton" Content="Canvas Button"
Canvas.Left="50" />
<Button x:Name="btnCanvasButton2" Content="Canvas Button 2"
Canvas.Top="25"
Width="{Binding Path=Canvas.Left, ElementName=btnCanvasButton}" />
</Canvas>
I want to bind btnCanvasButton2.Width to btnCanvasButton.Canvas.Left, but it's not working.
I also tried Path=Canvas.LeftProperty, Path=Left, Path=LeftProperty, but no luck either.
Please advise. Thx.
Peter
You need to use parentheses to bind to an attached property.
You could try:
<Button x:Name="btnCanvasButton2" Content="Canvas Button 2"
Canvas.Top="25"
Width="{Binding Path=(Canvas.Left), ElementName=btnCanvasButton}" />
I am creating Ribbon Control for my application and for which I have already written most of code . The only problem I am facing is that the Ribbon Buttons I am adding to the Tabs are not aligning properly in the Tab . As you can see in the Screen Shot the button is aligning to bottom of the Tab. How can I bring these button to top so they are visible.
This is How my app looks like
The XAML Code is below
<UserControl x:Class="SongPurifier.UserControls.RibbonControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:ribbon="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation/ribbon"
>
<Grid>
<ribbon:Ribbon x:Name="ribbon" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<ribbon:RibbonTab Header="Home">
<ribbon:RibbonSplitButton
Label="Open"
LargeImageSource="/Images/Folder Open.png"
Command="{Binding OpenFolderCommand}">
</ribbon:RibbonSplitButton>
</ribbon:RibbonTab>
<ribbon:RibbonTab Header="Edit" >
<ribbon:RibbonButton Label="Replace String"
LargeImageSource="/Images/Find Replace.png"
Command="{Binding EditSongInfoCommand}"
>
</ribbon:RibbonButton >
<ribbon:RibbonButton Label="Update Song Info"
LargeImageSource="/Images/Update.png"
Command="{Binding UpdateSongInfoCommand}"
>
</ribbon:RibbonButton>
</ribbon:RibbonTab>
<ribbon:RibbonTab Header="Update" >
<ribbon:RibbonButton
Label="Check for Update" >
</ribbon:RibbonButton>
</ribbon:RibbonTab>
</ribbon:Ribbon>
</Grid>
Sachin:
Place your Ribbon Buttons inside a RibbonGroup.
<my:RibbonTab Header="Home">
<my:RibbonGroup Header="File">
<ribbon:RibbonSplitButton
Label="Open"
LargeImageSource="/Images/Folder Open.png"
Command="{Binding OpenFolderCommand}">
</ribbon:RibbonSplitButton>
</my:RibbonGroup>
</my:RibbonTab>
I am using the WPF ribbon CTP from Microsoft.
However, there is no sample. I am not sure where to start. The RibbonWindow does not have a property for the Ribbon. Does anyone have a sample that works?
If you're using the WPF Ribbon
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff799534(v=vs.100).aspx
The MSDN documentation has good examples on how to use each component.

</r:RibbonMenuButton>

</r:Ribbon>

The only gotcha is that you need to update your view to inherit from RibbonWindow instead of Window.
