Top-level control in a ribbon user interface.

Description

Serves as a tabbed container for RibbonPage - a ribbon user interface typically has a ribbon bar, which contains one or more RibbonPages, which in turn each contains one or more RibbonPanels, which in turn contain controls. While a RibbonBar has tabs similar to a Notebook, it does not follow the same API for adding pages. Containers like Notebook can contain any type of window as a page, hence the normal procedure is to create the sub-window and then call BookCtrlBase.AddPage ().

As RibbonBar can only have RibbonPage as children (and a RibbonPage can only have a RibbonBar as parent), when a page is created, it is automatically added to the bar - there is no AddPage equivalent to call.

After all pages have been created, and all controls and panels placed on those pages, meth:Realize must be called.
