  Hello and welcome to the Windows Ribbon Development forum!

   

  The Windows Ribbon Development forum provides you an opportunity to join a community of Windows developers interested in the Windows Ribbon Framework—a rich command presentation system that provides a modern alternative to the layered menus, toolbars, and task panes of traditional Windows applications. Here you can share knowledge, get questions answered, and learn from others with development backgrounds similar to yours. 

   

  If you have any suggestions or feedback on the new Windows Ribbon Framework, please feel free to post them in this forum.

   

  The Windows Ribbon Development forum is based on the new Forum 3.0 platform. To learn more about Forum 3.0 features, please view the following video:
