    Key Features

    • Collapse the Ribbon for a Simplified View

      The new ribbon menu supports a compact function to help users focus on their work. Commands not visible in the simplified menu can be accessed through a drop-down menu. Of course, if you need more space for commands, you can expand the ribbon to the previous three-line view.

    • Complete with Backstage View

      Create a complete Ribbon application using the Backstage view (also known as the application menu) and the Quick Access Toolbar. The Backstage view contains a tabbed list of basic commands that work throughout the application (like the File menu in Microsoft Word).

    • 40+ Themes Including Microsoft Office

      Our WinForms Ribbon control offers over 40 built-in themes to choose from including the latest Microsoft Office themes and many more. If you want a more unique style you can create a custom style using the C1ThemeController.

    • Visual Studio Design-time Support

      The Ribbon allows .NET developers to build applications that resemble Microsoft Office styles with very little code. Design-time support includes smart tags, a context-sensitive floating toolbar that activates with a single mouse click, and a collection editor. It includes over 20 built-in control types that can be used to customize the Ribbon, including text boxes, buttons, color pickers, date pickers, split buttons, progress bars, galleries, and more.

    • Ribbon Form Templates

      Easily create a WinForms Ribbon application and add a Ribbon form to your project using the installed Visual Studio template. The Ribbon template uses C1RibbonForm to ensure the Ribbon is flush with the application's edges and includes a status bar at the bottom.

    • Classic Ribbon Visual Styles Included

      If you’re looking for a more classic look-and-feel, our classic WinForms Ribbon control is also included. You might want the classic look not necessarily for the 2007 or 2010 Visual Style, but the classic ribbon offered a simpler file menu that some users prefer.

    Quick Access Toolbar

    The Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) increases productivity by providing quick access to commonly used commands and can be located at the top or bottom left of the ribbon.

    High DPI Vector Icons

    The ribbon includes a set of royalty-free icons for buttons. The icons are available in various sizes, display modes, and screen resolutions for low, medium, and high DPI environments.

    Keyboard Shortcuts

    Enables key tips for quick keyboard access. Key tips appear when the user presses modifier keys such as ALT, CTRL, or SHIFT.
