panel

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

Description

A RibbonPanel 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	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.
RIBBON_PANEL_STRETCH	0x20	Allows a single panel to stretch to fill the parent page.
RIBBON_PANEL_FLEXIBLE	0x40	Allows toolbars to wrap, taking up the optimum amount of space when used in a vertical palette.
