Questions tagged [ribbon]

A ribbon is an interface wherein a set of toolbars are organized using tabs. Don't use this tag for questions related to the Netflix Ribbon component, use [netflix-ribbon] instead.

A ribbon is a GUI that uses tabs of graphical controls as the main interface, in a similar way to Microsoft Office.

Some specific APIs have dedicated tags which are more appropriate, e.g. . When possible, use those instead.

Use this tag for questions related to Microsoft Office, WPF, and other similar GUIs that do not have specialized tags.
