I am trying to use the xamRibbon and I set it to IsMinimized=True upon startup. This works great, except that whenever I select a control, the ribbon minimizes. For example, I have a TextBox, a Checkbox and a Button. The user should be allowed to enter into the TextBox, then make a selection on checkbox and then click on the button. Until then the Ribbon should be open. But whenever I click on the checkbox, the ribbon closes. The same is the case with my Combobox as well. How do I control the minimize behavior of the XamRibbon?
That is the expected behavior. Minimizing the ribbon means that only the tab items are shown. The content of a tab item is only shown when you select it and then it will close when you focus something else, etc. If you want to see the content of the ribbon when it isn't being interacted with then you have to leave the IsMinimized set to false.
