RadControls for WPF
Contents

RadRibbonBar supports minimization, which means that the ribbon may be hidden so that only its tab headers remain visible. In this state, more screen real estate is available to the client area of the window.

Minimized RibbonBAr

By clicking a tab header, the ribbon appears in a popup over the window client area and all of its controls are accessible.

There are two ways for the end user to toggle the minimization state of the RadRibbonBar:

  • Double click on any of the tab headers.
  • Choose 'Minimize the Ribbon' under the QuickAccessToolbar menu.

Properties

The following properties are related to the minimize feature:

  • IsMinimizable - use this property to enable/disable the minimization functionality of the ribbon. The default value is True.
  • IsMinimized - use this property to set or get the current minimize state of the ribbon.
  • IsMinimizedPopupOpen - use this property to get whether the minimized popup menu of the ribbon is opened or not.

Disable the Minimization Functionality

To disable the minimization functionality of the RadRibbonBar just set the IsMinimizable property to False. This feature is enabled by default.

CopyXAML
<telerik:RadRibbonBar x:Name="radRibbonBar" IsMinimizable="False"/>
CopyC#
radRibbonBar.IsMinimizable = false;
CopyVB.NET
radRibbonBar.IsMinimizable = False

  • A Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs object containing all the additional information about the event.

The MinimizedPopupOpenStateChanged event is raised when the minimized popup changes its open state. The MinimizedPopupOpenStateChanged event handler receives two arguments:
