Ribbon Groups

« prev |  index |  next »

      

Ribbon groups allow you to consolidate related controls within a tab. The wonderful thing about Ribbon groups is that the controls in a group and the group itself can change their visual representation when the Ribbon width changes (see Figure 1).

When a Ribbon group is collapsed, the user can still access its controls through a pop-up window (see Figure 2), which can be invoked by left clicking the collapsed group.
