Summary notes

A RibbonBar control enables you to create ribbons which are a modern way of organizing user commands in user interfaces. A ribbon can replace the traditional menu bar and toolbars with tabbed pages (called Category); and each Category splits into Panels that contain individual or groups of LargeButton (with or without RibbonMenu), SmallButton (with or without RibbonMenu), CheckBox, ComboBox, TabButton (with or without RibbonMenu), and Spin (currently unsupported).
