DHU! If only I could read! I missed the .RIbbon This is much better "SWEET" :)

Sorry :(

You're putting the XamRibbon as the content. You need to set the RibbonWindowContentHost.Ribbon to the XamRibbon.

e.g.

<igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost.Ribbon>

<igRibbon:XamRibbon />

Ok, so I guess I am not understanding how this one is supposed to work. According to the documentation on this, the XAML code should merge the ribbon into the windows titlebar. I then added the status bar according to the documentation and this is the result. I updated the sample a little to include the a tab,group and a button that changes the theme.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Here is the code:

XAML

<igRibbon:XamRibbonWindow x:Class="Window2"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

Title="Window2" Height="300" Width="300">

<igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost>

<igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost.StatusBar>

<StatusBar Name="StatusBar1">

<TextBlock>This is the status bar</TextBlock>

</StatusBar>

</igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost.StatusBar>

<igRibbon:XamRibbon x:Name="ribbon" Theme="Office2k7Black">

<igRibbon:XamRibbon.Tabs>

<igRibbon:RibbonTabItem Header="Home">

<igRibbon:RibbonGroup Caption="Testing">

<igRibbon:ButtonTool x:Name="btnTest" Caption="Change Theme"/>

</igRibbon:RibbonGroup>

</igRibbon:RibbonTabItem>

</igRibbon:XamRibbon.Tabs>

</igRibbon:XamRibbon>

</igRibbon:XamRibbonWindow>

 Code Behind

I see. So you're not actually using a xamRibbon then. Well you could put the resource file into the window's resources.

e.g.

Another way would be to include a xamRibbon but force it to be hidden:

I wonder if this is related to another support issue that I submitted earlier where the XamRibbonWindow does not work as described in the documentation.

Here is a sample that does not work for me: I am using VB so no code behind is required (according to the documentation and by looking at the Window2.g.vb file that was created)

<igRibbon:XamRibbonWindow x:Class="Window2"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

Title="Window2" Height="300" Width="300">

<igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost>

<igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost.StatusBar>

<StatusBar Name="StatusBar1">

<TextBlock>This is the status bar</TextBlock>

</StatusBar>

</igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost.StatusBar>

<igRibbon:XamRibbon>

</igRibbon:XamRibbon>

</igRibbon:XamRibbonWindow>
