There is little point in keep commenting on this thread as the Kendo team haven't bothered updating their position on the matter in almost 4 years.

I suspect that they have long since stopped paying any attention

Utter rubbish.

Syncfusion and DevExpress both have a ribbonview which scales superbly for mobile devices.

Mobile first people!!!

This kind of reductionist thinking is just going to hurt us in the long run I think...  I get the "We hate Microsoft Windows UI" thinking, but the lack of an offered alternative is going to lead people down bad paths of least resistance.

It's really a must to have an RibbonView. We are re-building our Silverlight App to a full HTML5/Kendo webabp but we can't use the Ribbon now. It's very strange it isn't there while other vendors have it. Very strange decission from Telerik.
Please Telerik add it......

Need a ribbon control too!

One problem I'm running into, trying to implement some ribbon like behavior with Kendo's Toolbar, is that Kendo does a lot real-time manipulation for even simple things like button clicks.  It adds classes dynamically which change styling and behavior - having to unplug all of these or style over them is a pain. If you guys could implement some other item types for the Toolbar I think that would go a long way towards helping people out. Yes, anything can be done with templates but.. we're paying you guys to make this native. :)  

* Toolbar needs text boxes with icon ability - a search text box with a search icon to click.

* It needs simple text links, not buttons, like the Menu

* It needs a drop down menu type, not buttons, just like the Menu widget.

* Extra: It would be great to have a dropdown component with a template area inside.

Just look at what Bootstrap's toolbar component does - that's what we want. I want to get away from Bootstrap itself though.

We are developing line-of-business applications, not word-press restaurant showcases.

Thanks for listening.

Well DevExperess has one and there are third party JavaScript libraries like Ribbon JS (http://ribbonjs.com/home) that exist and charge many hundreds of dollars for their licences. So there IS a demand for this sort of thing.

Please add

I find it difficult to understand Telerik's reluctance on this matter. As we see more and more LOB applications move to multiple platforms there is a greater, not lesser, call for consistency in the UI. If the Desktop app has a Ribbonbar, people want (expect, even) to see one in the browser or on their tablet.

I disagree, Ribbon for ASP.net MVC is in demand, see Dev Express even has one

https://demos.devexpress.com/MVCxHTMLEditorDemos/ToolbarsAndUI/RibbonContextTabs 

Its a must for Telerik to have it as well since more that 95% of the Telerik uses need it.

Yes, we need ribbon bar in ASP.Net MVC as well as infinite scrolling functionality.

Does anyone have an example of a simulated ribbon-like bar using the kendo toolbar?

Ribbon Bar

I don't agree that ribbons can't be resonsive. 
We do need a Ribbon in our new LoB web application.
There is also another large vendor who has a responsive ribbon for mvc.
To my mind web apps are more and more replacing desktop apps and there truely is a strong demand for powerful controls like the ribbon. Please re-think your opinion. This also is true for some other controls Telerik has in it's Ajax suite but not in the MVC Suite.

Did you try Microsoft Office 365 online? They're using it pretty extensively...

We hope that you reconsider this.  We disagree with the "Windows" Desktop/Office assessment as the Ribbon UI is a general purpose tool that combines navigation and actions.  Also, desktop-like applications are migrating to the Web as Single Page Applications (SPAs) and users of these SPAs would like use a Ribbon UI to quickly access SPA features.

Anybody can make bad decisions. :)
We develops intranet applications mainly, which are used in typical office environments near by the office applications which provide rich UI. With an old style dropdown menu, our application seems obsolete, not user friendly.

Can we get an update for a timeline on this control. There is another vendor who has an MVC control with a responsive design. I really hate to start down the road, looking at another vendor's toolset.  Just be straight forward so we can make a business decision and get on down the road.

I'm working at Abbott and we are currently developing an Application based on Kendo UI,

There is a fascinate Ribbon Bar for TELERIK ASP.NET Ajax control, I think it's should be easy to migrate it to Kendo UI lib,

Please do it as soon as possible 

This will be crucial for us as we transition from our Silverlight LOB.

Please, Please, Please add it.
Having a Ribbon control is absolutely essential for many kind of business apps.

We need this a Ribbon is a major standard in navigation, especially now days with the mobile devices be the master of the game.
Useful for both KendoUI Web and KendoUI Mobile!

Especially for business apps but even for many other types of apps this is the most efficient way to navigate - critical tool to have in your library

Please add the ribbonbar for KendoUI (MVC) like the ones for Ajax and Silverlight. This is a fantastic navigation tool and will enable similar navigation to familiar Office suite

Yes - for line of business web apps to look like Office 365, we need the ribbon.

Please add

We very need Ribbon for MVC project. I wil be great, if Ribbon come in KendoUI

Yes, we also need the same in our new product.

>  And we really want to replace our toolbars with ribbon bars.
Where a Ribbon is a nice element, Kendo UI Web does not even have a "Toolbar" element yet :(.

Same here. We really want to move to an MV* architecture as we move our product forward. And we really want to replace our toolbars with ribbon bars.

Go on! You know you want to!

Something with the functionality of your AJAX and Silverlight versions would be amazing! It's one of the main reasons I can't completely shift away from web forms.

Agreed. We are interested in the MVC toolset, but require a RibbonBar control similar to what is available in Telerik ASP.NET for AJAX.

I agree - a RadRibbonBar is seriously needed!
