Really cool article, I tried to do this with the WPF ribbon bar, but it’s not working right for some reason. Does anyone know how to do this? I’ve looked on every website i could possibly think of and still haven’t found what I’m looking for. Basically this is what i want to do/accomplish:

1. I have a pretty big project(around 70k lines ) that I’m trying to add a universal ribbon bar to the top of, each app being able to click through the tabs to get to the common functionality that will be available to that app

2. I have already created the ribbon(thanks to the walkthroughs of uxpassion.com ) that has a nice look and feel for what i want, but it is a WPF application(per the walkthrough) with XAML and a .cs file for all the method calls and functionality the XAML and ribbon require to work

3. I would like to know(if it’s possible because i haven’t found it anywhere on the web ) if i can use what i have now for my ribbon bar(code and all) and somehow place it at the top of all my different projects’ pages so as to have the 2007 Office look no matter what you’re looking at

I know this may be a noobie question that i just have overlooked or missed somewhere, but I would really appreciate anything that could help me acheive this(kind of on a deadline) so that my project will look professional

Thanks in advance!

The InitializeComponent problem is generated by the compiler itself. You have make a stub in Window1.xaml.vb file like this:
Sub InitializeComponent()
End Sub

Would it be possible to post a listing of all the XAML or a project zip file?

It is hard sometimes to figure out where to add some of the code, especially on Part 3 where the resources are added. Especially the Clipboard_CanExecute part.

Yea this works, but you do have to put something into the RibbonGroup, otherwise you get the null reference exception.

Thanks for the tut by the way. Very useful.

Sorry for previous message. Modified – Hi guys, regarding to the RibbonGroup problem – if you add, for example RibbonButton between RibbonGroup tags, it should works.
Only single RibbonGroup probably doesn’t work. Have you tried it?
