UXRibbonQuickAccessToolbar is a ribbon-friendly control that provides quick access to frequently accessed commands such as New, Open, Save and Print. You can hide the commands initially by setting the Visibility property to Collapsed. At runtime, users can show the hidden commands through the dropdown menu in the quick access toolbar.

By default, the position of UXRibbonQuickAccessToolbar is set to the top of UXRibbonBar. If you prefer, you can set the position to the bottom by setting the ToolBarPosition property to Bottom.

UXRibbonQuickAccessToolbar derives from UXToolbar which is an advanced, rich-featured toolbar control with elegant built-in styles and built-in support for various button types such as described below.

• Button

  Represents a standard command button.

• DropdownButton

  Represents a button that displays dropdown menu when clicked, which can contain a collection of menu items and nested menu items similar to UXContextMenu.

• SplitButton

  Represents a combination of command button and a dropdown menu. This type of button typically provides users with a default command that executed when the command part of the button is clicked, while at the same time allowing users to choose alternative commands through the dropdown arrow. Similar to the DropdownButton, you can also define a collection of menu items and nested menu items as in UXContextMenu.

• Custom

  Represents a custom button that can be used to contain any UIElement or controls. With this type, the default layout properties such as margin and padding as well as the UI behaviors would be disabled. Consequently, this type is ideal to host custom controls such as text box, combo box, date picker and others.

The following code shows how to add UXRibbonQuickAccessToolbar to the ribbon control with several buttons using different button type.
