Hi, I'm evaluating the ribbon control and have two quick questions regarding it:

1. Is it possible to set the visibility/opacity of the  ribbon control to  0, and JUST show the ApplicationMenu and QAT?

2. Is there a color picker included with the ribbon control? Most of the samples have an icon associated with it but no dialog popup for it.

Thanks

Hi -
 
1. No not really
2. There is no color picker tool included with the XamRibbon however it is quite easy to build one.  The 'Ribbon with RichTextBox' sample includes code for creating a color picker tool based on a GalleryTool.

Hi -
 
Re-thinking #1, you could do the following:
 
Re-template the entire Ribbon  (!!!)
 
-or-
 

If you don’t mind having some empty space below the QAT (since the app menu spans the QATand the tab header area), you can:

  1. set the IsMinimized to True (to hide the ribbon group area)
  2. set AllowMinimize to False (to prevent the end user from unminimizing it)
  3. add 1 RibbonTabItem whose Visibility is Hidden (so there is something there to give the area in the second row some height since it is the xamTabControl that is providing that background).

Ribbon with RichTextBox.zip

Hi -

The sample source code is copied to your system during the NA install process.  If you're having trouble finding it, I have attached a zip with the C# and VB versions of the source.

Enjoy!
