Ribbon User Interface

The ExpressBars Suite allows you to create a Ribbon UI (like that found in Microsoft Office 2007 or later).

Ribbon User Interface

Our Ribbon implementation includes the following elements:

According to the 2007 Microsoft® Office System User Interface Design Guidelines, the Ribbon implementation must follow the following requirements:

  • The Ribbon is the primary replacement for menus and toolbars in the 2007 Microsoft Office UI.

  • The Ribbon must replace all top-level menus and toolbars (e.g. File, Edit, View, Insert, Window, etc.).

  • The Ribbon must not coexist with top-level menus and toolbars. The Ribbon is a replacement for menus and toolbars. The Ribbon is not an additional component that can be added onto an existing menu- and toolbar-based user interface.

Refer to the following topic for details: User Interface Principles.
