Remarks

The RibbonBox automatically aligns Ribbon controls as you drop them onto it.

Use the BoxStyle property to arrange child controls horizontally (default) or vertically. If controls are set to be arranged vertically and there is not enough space, they are arranged in multiple columns.

Some properties of this control can be set only before the Ribbon is loaded into the Office application. For information about setting these properties, see Ribbon Object Model Overview.

You can create a RibbonBox at run time by using the CreateRibbonBox method of the RibbonFactory object.

There are two ways to access the RibbonFactory object:

• By using the Factory property of the Ribbon class. Use this approach from code in your Ribbon class.

• By using the Globals.Factory.GetRibbonFactory method. Use this approach from code outside your Ribbon class.
