  • Building a Ribbonbar for Your Application
    Building a RibbonBar for Your Application This article will discuss the Ribbon interface and techniques for effectively using a RadRibbonBar in your applications. First, this article will discuss the Ribbon interface: a brief history of the Ribbon, why the Ribbon is an effective interface for your applications, and what elements make up a Ribbon. Next, this article will move onto strategies for creating an effective interface using the Ribbon interface. What Is the Ribbon? For Microsoft Office 2007, the UI engineers at Microsoft created a new interface to replace the existing menu structures in most of the Office applications; Outlook still uses the older menu structures in the main Outlook application, but uses the new interface when the user is composing e-mail. This new interface makes it possible to greatly reduce the number of mouse clicks, and was the result of research to make mouse usage more effective. telerik’s RadRibbonBar is a third-party control that lets you build your own Ribbon interface. The RadRibbonBar is actually a single control area that is composed of numerous controls. Figure 1. Anatomy of a ribbonbar In the upper-left corner is the Start Menu, which is similar to the Windows Start menu and is an area for placing the most common options (such as Save or Save As features). The Start Menu can also contain separators, combo boxes, and programmer-created items. To the right of the Start menu is the Quick Access Toolbar, which typically contains a number of icons that are actually menu items to common features (Save, Undo, or Open are some examples of things you might be able to launch from this area).

  • Chapter 5 Exploring the Microsoft Access User Interface
    Chapter 5 Exploring the Microsoft Access User Interface Summary: The Access user interface is easy to get used to. We’ll cover some of the basic features here. The user interface in Access 2007, 2010 and 2013 are nearly identical for core features. What you will learn: Features of the basic user interface of Microsoft Access. Getting started When you first open Access 2016, you will have the option of creating a new database, or opening an existing database. Normally, you will create a new database for each new data project. We will create a blank database. When Access opens a new database, you will see a new, empty table, ready for you to add fields and data. We’ll explore table creation and data import in the tutorial Task 1: Making Tables and Importing Data into Access. Like other programs in the Microsoft Office suite, Access uses “ribbon” menu system in which commonly used commands are grouped together on a fat toolbar. You will likely find yourself using the File, Home, Create and External data ribbons most frequently. File isn’t really a ribbon, but instead gives access to all the standard operations for opening, saving and renaming the database and objects within it, as well as options for configuring the database. The Save As command allows you to save the database with a name other than the default name (e.g. Database1), as well to save it in the more recent .accdb format, used since Access 2007, or the earlier .mdb formats. As a rule, you should use the newer format unless you absolutely need the database to be compatible with one of the older versions of Access going back to Access 2000.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to navigate the Word interface and become familiar with some of its most important features, such as the Ribbon, Quick Access Toolbar, and Backstage view. Practice: . Opening Word for the First Time When you open Word for the first time, the Start Screen will appear. From here, you'll be able to create a new document, choose a template, and access your recently edited documents. From the Start Screen, locate and select Blank document to access the Word interface. ● All recent versions of Word include the Ribbon and the Quick Access Toolbar, where you'll find commands to perform common tasks in Word, as well as Backstage view. ● Word uses a tabbed Ribbon system instead of traditional menus. The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, which you can find near the top of the Word window. Each tab in Microsoft contains several groups of related commands. For example, the Font group on the Home tab contains commands for formatting text in your document. Some groups also have a small arrow in the bottom-right corner that you can click for even more options.
