Ribbon Quick Access Toolbar

The Ribbon Quick Access Toolbar is a customizable element that is designed to provide end-users with one-click access to the most important and most often used features.

By default, this toolbar is displayed above the Ribbon Control. Its location and visibility can be changed using the RibbonControl.ToolbarShowMode property.

Like Ribbon page groups, the Quick Access Toolbar displays commands represented by specific bar item links (buttons, editors, etc.). To add items to the Quick Access Toolbar, add them to the RibbonControl.ToolbarItemLinks collection.

NOTE

In XAML, a RibbonControl and RibbonStatusBarControl must be created within a BarManager object. Bar items to be used within the RibbonControl/RibbonStatusBarControl must be defined in the BarManager's BarManager.Items collection.

Runtime Customization

At runtime, an end-user can add commands to the Quick Access Toolbar via a context menu.

You can also use the context menu, available for the commands displayed in the Quick Access Toolbar, to remove commands from the Toolbar.
