Minimization

RadRibbonView supports minimization, which means that the ribbon may be hidden so that only its tab headers remain visible. In this state, more screen real estate is available to the client area of the window.

By clicking a tab header, the ribbon appears in a popup over the window client area and all of its controls are accessible.
