Creating Simple App

I have created a sample app with window on it. Now add the ribbon bar control. Go to controls icon and select the Ribbon bar. You can do the same by Menu-> Insert-> RibbonBar

Now click on the window to place the control

Save the changes.

Go to Tools-> RibbonBar builder. By default it will open with a default template. 

Click on Save as button and save it on your application working directory.

Name it as Home for now.

Now go to your window where you placed the RibbonBar control and go to open event of the Window and write the following code.

rbb_1.ImportFromXMLFile('Home.Xml') 

Here the Home.XML is nothing but the one which did SaveAs in previous step.

Save the changes.

Run the application, you will see window like below.

Now you can make changes to this Ribbon Bar control using the RibbonBar Builder and see the changes over here.
