The following example demonstrates how to create a custom ribbon and menu item for the Month view:

<dx:ThemedWindow x:Class="WpfScheduler.MainWindow" 
    xmlns:dx="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/core" 
    xmlns:dxsch="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/scheduling"
    <!------------------->

    <dxsch:SchedulerControl x:Name="scheduler" CommandBarStyle="Ribbon" ActiveViewIndex="0">
        <dxsch:MonthView Caption="Month"
                         Description="The Multi-Week view useful for long-term plans."
                         Glyph="{dx:DXImage Image=MonthView_16x16.png}" 
                         LargeGlyph="{dx:DXImage Image=MonthView_32x32.png}"/>
    </dxsch:SchedulerControl>
