Tip

This class is outdated. Use the ThemedWindow.WindowKind property to integrate the RibbonControl with a window.

A RibbonControl, when positioned at the top of the DXRibbonWindow, is consistently integrated into the window.

The following image shows a DXRibbonWindow displaying a RibbonControl, painted in Office2007 style:

When the RibbonControl.RibbonStyle property is set to Office2010, the DXRibbonWindow displays an application icon at the top left corner. You can change this icon via the inherited Icon property:

Note

The DXRibbonWindow is not designed to be used without a RibbonControl.

For more information on the DXRibbonWindow, see DXRibbonWindow.
