Comment on Ribbon Tab Definition on UserControl by Ben

Glad you found the post useful Neroken! Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, my blog has been inundated with spam, so I haven’t been watching the comments too closely.
The RibbonUserControl is not something I have written, but I would start by creating a new class that inherits from UserControl. You would create a DependencyProperty on this new class that is of type “RibbonTab”. The RibbonTab DependencyProperty would then walk the visual tree to add the Tab into an existing ribbon when it is assigned to just like UserControlRibbonTab does. The main benefit of this approach is XAML clarity.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for.

I’m new to WPF so I would appreciate it if you could give some more info on what you are doing in the “UserControlRibbon.cs” file.

I’m would like to create the RibbonUserControl like you explained in “I had thought about creating a RibbonUserControl similar to RibbonWindow. The RibbonUserControl would have the RibbonTab property, which would move the tab out of the resources and eliminate the two assignments in the UserControl declaration.” but I cannot figure out how I should start with it.

Many thanks already,

Neroken

Great tip. I’ve been chasing this for an hour.

FYI, this ‘Disabled’ trick is also required when using DataTemplates inside a ListBox. The ListBox defaults to ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility=”Auto”

It took longer than I intended to get back to this, but I’ve created a sample and hosted it on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/benbarefield/ribbontabsample

It’s quick and dirty, and I think pretty straightforward. Most of the magic happens in the user control xaml files.

Sure! Give me some time to create a sample and I’ll post it to bitbucket.

I’m looking for solution to store view depended tabs in view (for MVVM project) and I think that your article is what I’m looking for, can you put some sample project where you define contextual tabs in View.
