ribbon.panel¶

Serves as a container for a group of (ribbon) controls.

Description¶

A RibbonPage will typically have panels for children, with the controls for that page placed on the panels. A panel adds a border and label to a group of controls, and can be minimised (either automatically to conserve space, or manually by the user).

Window Styles¶

This class supports the following window styles:

Window styles for **ribbon.panel**
Window Styles	Hex Value	Description
`RIBBON_PANEL_DEFAULT_STYLE`	0x0	Defined as no other flags set.
`RIBBON_PANEL_NO_AUTO_MINIMISE`	0x1	Prevents the panel from automatically minimising to conserve screen space.
`RIBBON_PANEL_EXT_BUTTON`	0x8	Causes an extension button to be shown in the panel’s chrome (if the bar in which it is contained has `RIBBON_BAR_SHOW_PANEL_EXT_BUTTONS` set). The behaviour of this button is application controlled, but typically will show an extended drop-down menu relating to the panel.
`RIBBON_PANEL_MINIMISE_BUTTON`	0x10	Causes a (de)minimise button to be shown in the panel’s chrome (if the bar in which it is contained has the `RIBBON_BAR_SHOW_PANEL_MINIMISE_BUTTONS` style set). This flag is typically combined with `RIBBON_PANEL_NO_AUTO_MINIMISE` to make a panel which the user always has manual control over when it minimises.
