RibbonBarGallery

Galleries are functionally and graphically rich list box controls. The item collection of a gallery can be organized by categories, displayed in flexible column and row-based layouts, represented with images and text, and depending on the type of gallery, support live previewing.

RibbonBarGallery

The RibbonBarGallery is available after the Q2 2013 release of the RadControls controls.

The RibbonBarGallery has a collection of RibbonBarGalleryCategories, which in turn have a collection of RibbonBarGalleryItems. The RibbonBarGallery has 3 buttons on the right that enables scrolling and expanding of the Gallery. The top and middle buttons are used to scroll the items inline up and down one row at a time, while the bottom button expands the Gallery. The expanded Gallery enables the customization of the height set - it can be altered with the ExpandedHeight property as described below.ribbonbar-galleryitems

                <Items>

                        <telerik:RibbonBarGalleryCategory Title="FirstCategory">
