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.

There are a few ways for the end user to toggle the minimization state of the RadRibbonView:

• Double click on any of the tab headers.

• Choose 'Minimize the Ribbon' under the Quick Access Tool bar menu.

• Display the MinimizeButton by setting the RibbonView.MinimizeButtonVisibility to Visible and toggling the button state
