  Note

  The Ribbon UI provides the Quick Access Toolbar. You can place frequently used Actions on this toolbar to improve the usability of your application. To add a certain Action to this toolbar, navigate to the ActionDesign | Actions | <Action> node and set the QuickAccess property to “True“.

In the Main Demo, a separate WinForms project is created to demonstrate the Ribbon UI.
