I’m looking into using the Office Ribbon UI to help navigate around my application

I’m looking into using the Office Ribbon UI to help navigate around my application and provide different tools for the current selected tab.

I need the Ribbon to be plugable. Each plugin has its own tab and using a DataTemplate displays what’s needed.

The main control area will have a navigation on the left and a Tab Control on the right. Multple tabs will be open most of the time.

Ok questions:
1. Is the Ribbon control the correct control for the job
2. How do i dynamically add Tabs to the Ribbon control through my View Model
3. Does anyone know how to define DataTemplates in an external assembly. I need to avoid configurations inside my main application IE make it plugable 😀

FYI. The application is a POS system

    The Office Ribbon was the wrong choice for my design.

    I’ve seen posts on using Prism with Office Ribbon to get plugins working
