How to simplify a layout of Ribbon Control in WinUI?
Simplified Layout
The Simplified layout in the WinUI Ribbon control displays the most frequently used commands in a compact, single-line interface. Less commonly used commands are accessible via an overflow menu. A toggle button allows users to switch easily between Simplified and Normal layouts.
Adding a Simplify layout
To obtain the simplified ribbon layout, two enumerated properties are required. They are,
- LayoutModeOptions
- ActiveLayoutmode
Layout mode options
The enumeration includes the following values.
Normal: Helps to organize ribbon elements in standard layout.
Simplified: Helps to organize ribbon elements in simplified layout.
Normal, Simplified: The Ribbon elements are organized in both the standard and simplified layouts. This is the default value of this settings.
Active layout mode
This can be utilized to load the Ribbon control in the simplified layout.
Normal: Loads the Ribbon in the standard layout.
Simplified: Loads the Ribbon in the simplified, single-line layout.
In the following example, a Home tab is created with a Clipboard group. The Clipboard group contains the commands: Cut, Copy, Paste, and Format Painter.
-
In the Normal layout, all four commands are visible.
-
In the Simplified layout, only Paste and Format Painter are shown. This is because their
DisplayOptionsare set toNormal, Simplified, while the others are set toNormal, Overflow.
XAML
<ribbon:SfRibbon x:Name="simplifiedRibbon" ActiveLayoutMode="Simplified" LayoutModeOptions="Normal,Simplified"> <ribbon:SfRibbon.Tabs> <ribbon:RibbonTab Header="Home"> <ribbon:RibbonGroup Header="Clipboard"> <ribbon:RibbonSplitButton Content="Paste" DisplayOptions="Normal,Simplified" Icon="Paste"/> <ribbon:RibbonButton Content="Cut" DisplayOptions="Normal,Overflow" Icon="Cut"/> <ribbon:RibbonButton Content="Copy" DisplayOptions="Normal,Overflow" Icon="Copy"/> <ribbon:RibbonButton Content="Format Painter" DisplayOptions="Normal,Simplified"> <ribbon:RibbonButton.Icon> <FontIcon Glyph="" /> </ribbon:RibbonButton.Icon> </ribbon:RibbonButton> </ribbon:RibbonGroup> </ribbon:RibbonTab> </ribbon:SfRibbon.Tabs> </ribbon:SfRibbon>
