Ribbon Menu

• Aug 01, 2019

Ribbon is a modern user interface element for interacting and accessing the functionality of modern apps, such as Microsoft Office. Typically, a Ribbon displays a large button at its top left corner. This is an Application Button that invokes the main Ribbon menu. Over the years, Ribbons provided different visualization and functionality for their main menus, as well as other visual elements. With the DevExpress Ribbon Control, you can easily emulate them all.
