43 @class wxRibbonBar
44
45 Top-level control in a ribbon user interface. Serves as a tabbed container
46 for wxRibbonPage - a ribbon user interface typically has a ribbon bar,
47 which contains one or more wxRibbonPages, which in turn each contain one
48 or more wxRibbonPanels, which in turn contain controls.
49
50 While a wxRibbonBar has tabs similar to a wxNotebook, it does not follow
51 the same API for adding pages. Containers like wxNotebook can contain any
52 type of window as a page, hence the normal procedure is to create the
53 sub-window and then call wxBookCtrlBase::AddPage(). As wxRibbonBar can only
54 have wxRibbonPage as children (and a wxRibbonPage can only have a
55 wxRibbonBar as parent), when a page is created, it is automatically added
56 to the bar - there is no AddPage equivalent to call.
57
58 After all pages have been created, and all controls and panels placed on
59 those pages, Realize() must be called.
