    Do you want there to never be a Quick Access Toolbar, or are you looking for show/hide functionality? I'm using the Microsoft Ribbon, and I have no buttons in my QAT by default and nothing shows up there. – Scott Jun 07 '11 at 14:17

    I want to permanently hide it. That's probably because you use RibbonWindow and I use normal Windows, because RibbonWindow looks like a piece of s.. in Win XP. – redman Jun 07 '11 at 16:58

    Gotchya... I do use RibbonWindow. And I agree... looks terrible in XP. – Scott Jun 07 '11 at 18:32

For Microsoft Ribbon for WPF, you can hide it by using the VisualTreeHelper. On the Loaded event handler, just resize the row containing the Quick Access Toolbar to 0 :

private void RibbonLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
  Grid child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild((DependencyObject)sender, 0) as Grid;
  if (child != null)
  {
    child.RowDefinitions[0].Height = new GridLength(0);
  }
}

The Quick Access Toolbar is automatically hidden when the Ribbon control is in a RibbonWindow. When it is not, it seems impossible to hide it. I have already worked hours on this issue and was unable to hide it properly. But there is one simple workaround: Place the Ribbon control inside of a Panel and give it a negative top margin so it will slide outside of the Panel. Set the Panel's ClipToBounds property to true and the QAT will be hidden. By the way - there are multiple Ribbon implementations for WPF, even by Microsoft themselves ("Fluent Ribbon" and "Microsoft Ribbon for WPF"), so next time you should mention which one you are talking about.

  • It's WPF Ribbon preview from http://wpf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=WPF%20Ribbon%20Preview – redman Jul 05 '11 at 11:10

    Just a note if you started with a stock RibbonWindow as I did: I changed the window type to Window in both XAML and code-behind, added ClipToBounds="true" to the LayoutRoot grid, and gave the ribbon a top margin of -22. – Sean Mar 07 '12 at 20:13
  • @Sean yeah, the value of -22 seems to be the right one. – Xam Oct 02 '19 at 17:58

Or if you want it all in the XAML, this works

<ribbon:Ribbon>
    <ribbon:Ribbon.Loaded>CollapseQuickAccessToolbar</ribbon:Ribbon.Loaded>
    <x:Code>
        private void CollapseQuickAccessToolbar(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
            ((Grid)VisualTreeHelper.GetChild((DependencyObject)sender, 0)).RowDefinitions[0].Height = new GridLength(0);
        }
    </x:Code>
</ribbon:Ribbon>

Here is the solution :

this.ribbonControl1.ToolbarLocation = DevExpress.XtraBars.Ribbon.RibbonQuickAccessToolbarLocation.Hidden;

I know this is an old post, but found an easier solution... Add this inside the ribbon :- 

<ribbon:Ribbon.QuickAccessToolBar>
    <ribbon:RibbonQuickAccessToolBar Visibility="Collapsed"/>
</ribbon:Ribbon.QuickAccessToolBar>

  • Doesn't work for me. Is there something else that needs done? – psubsee2003 Oct 05 '14 at 11:04
  • @psubsee2003 : By setting this property, I was able to hide the tool bar. I also set the context menu to "{x:Null}" at ribbon, button group and button levels to disable the context menu. – Dipu Oct 13 '14 at 15:15

Bit late to the party.

<my:Ribbon   >
            <my:Ribbon.ApplicationMenu >
                <my:RibbonApplicationMenu Visibility="Collapsed">
                </my:RibbonApplicationMenu>
            </my:Ribbon.ApplicationMenu>

This will help to hide the quick bar

  • The question was regarding Quick Access Toolbar, not the Application Menu. And no, collapsing Application Menu does not hide the Quick Access Toolbar. – RollerMobster Mar 25 '22 at 12:14
