Question

I am trying to figure out how to implement the “Better” example of what is shown here:

Specifically what is used for “Indent” and “Spacing” headings. I assume its just a RibbonGroup header with the header on top but I can’t figure out how to do that. Ideas?

Answer 1

It’s just a TextBlock.

That appears to be directly from the WPF Source and Samples.

You’ll find the following in UserControlWord.xaml which I think is the exact code that produces the entire Paragraph RibbonGroup in your Better: example. For non generic RibbonButtons and such… they usually just make their own grid of normal controls in the examples.

<ribbon:RibbonGroup Header="Paragraph" KeyTip="ZG">
    <ribbon:RibbonGroup.Resources>
        <!-- Vertical Separator-->                        
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type ribbon:RibbonSeparator}" x:Key="RibbonSeparatorStyleKey">
            <Setter Property="LayoutTransform">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <RotateTransform Angle="90"/>                                                                            
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>

        <!-- Image -->
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type Image}" x:Key="ImageStyle16Key">
            <Setter Property="Width" Value="16"/>
            <Setter Property="Height" Value="16"/>
            <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
            <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
            <Setter Property="Margin" Value="1"/>
            <Setter Property="RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode" Value="NearestNeighbor"/>
        </Style>                                                         
    </ribbon:RibbonGroup.Resources>
