XamRibbonWindow Class

A derived System.Windows.Window class that is designed to display a XamRibbon within its caption area similar to that of Microsoft Office 2007 applications.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Class XamRibbonWindow 
   Inherits System.Windows.Window

C#

public class XamRibbonWindow : System.Windows.Window 

Remarks

The XamRibbonWindow class is derived from the WPF System.Windows.Window class. It is designed to be used with the XamRibbon in rich client applications to enable the placement of the XamRibbon in the caption area (i.e., non-client area) of the window. When the XamRibbon is used in a standard WPF System.Windows.Window or on a WPF System.Windows.Controls.Page, it appears inside the bounds of the window’s or page’s non-client area.

Note: The only System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl.Content that should be placed inside this window is a RibbonWindowContentHost. The XamRibbon is associated with this window by setting the RibbonWindowContentHost.Ribbon property of the RibbonWindowContentHost to an instance of a XamRibbon.

Example

    Private Sub initRibbonItems() 
        'Create RibbonWindowContentHost 
        Dim xamContentHost As New RibbonWindowContentHost() 
        Me.Content = xamContentHost 
        'Create XamRibbon object 
        xamRibbon = New XamRibbon()

        DockPanel.SetDock(xamRibbon, Dock.Top) 
    End Sub 
End Class
