Wordsmith Ribbon Application Sample

Contributed by Caretta Software

Requires: Ribbon Library v1.0+

In tribute to Microsoft Word, the application that essentially started the Ribbon UI movement, along with a few of the other Microsoft Office tools, we've created a similar application prototype named "Wordsmith".

This prototype was initially created from the Ribbon App Template then edited and expanded to add further ribbon bar panels and a scrolling document area.

It also demonstrates how to use context tabs that only appear when certain elements in the document have been selected. A mechanism for showing selected objects is also included.

Install the Ribbon Library before using this project.
