Add DataBinding Supoort for Contextual Groups / Tabs

Allow the QAT context menu to be extended

Add support for direct content of ribbon buttons (like using XAML vector graphics instead of images).

Support easy customization of screen tip duration.

Add the ability, while holding down a modifier key (for instance ALT which triggers the KeyServices) and pressing the AccessText key at the same time, to execute the action associated with the element.

Available in R1 2017 Release
Please note that is it working only for KeyDown ActivationModes, not in the default KeyUp.

typically users consider keys like Shift,Ctrl,ALT to be a single key even though they are on the keyboard left and right.

At the moment the root element of the Backstage control is a ScrollViewer and since its size is measured with infinity the controls placed inside the BackstageItems Content will be measured with infinity thus not displaying internal scroll bars. Consider changing this behavior.


The feature will be available in our official release 2015 Q1

Any group or button can be right clicked and added to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT).

QAT should have overflow

Expose property controlling the RibbonGroups Header Background

Allow the ApplicationMenu to be used as a stand-alone control



Available in R1 2017 Release

Expose a property through which the TabContentPopup IsOpen state can be programatically controlled. This feature should allow the implementation of a scenario where the TabContentPopup is opened when hovering over the tab.

Declined: The current API of the RadRibbonView allow the users to control MinimizedPopup. A sample application is attached demonstrating how the Popup can me controlled

Expose an event where the key combinations that (don't)show the KeyTips can be customized.

Posibility to use the QAT buttons when the BackStage is open

Allow ApplicationMenu to be editable in Blend. Make sure when clickon the application button the app menu is displayed in blend. Also add panels for the content and footer content for easier content adding.

The MinimizedPopup could be open/closed by using the SelectedIndex property of the RadRibbonView.

Add a property to show/hide RibbonWindow Close/Minimize/Restore buttons panel

Add ScreenTip for the Application Button

UPDATE: RibbonView ApplicationButtonStyle property  can be used to apply a style on the ApplicationButton. Use the style to apply a ScreenTip on the button.

Add panel element to the TabStripAdditionalContent property. This way it will be easier for the users to add content.

Declined: The existing API for the TabStripAdditionalContent property (of type Object) easily allows the users to customize and insert content depending on their requirements. For instance if you want to use data from ViewModel and list all of its Items you could use the following code:
<telerik:RadRibbonView.TabStripAdditionalContent>
	<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{}" >
		<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
			<ItemsPanelTemplate>
				<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
			</ItemsPanelTemplate>
		</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
	</ItemsControl>
</telerik:RadRibbonView.TabStripAdditionalContent>
