WPF window border acting weird with Ribbon Control

Question

I am using the Ribbon control in WPF and I noticed there are 2 different versions.

1. using Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Ribbon;

   • If I use this one

Answer 1

I found the best way to make it look and work good!

Instead of the tags <ribbon:RibbonWindow on the beginning of the xaml, Make it <Window .
Also add this part:

xmlns:r="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon"

Then in your class delete your : RibbonWindow (If it's there)

If that doesn't work and you don't need the quick access toolbar, this may help: Go back to your XAML, and change the Ribbon margin to -22 :

 <r:Ribbon x:Name="Ribbon" prism:RegionManager.RegionName="RibbonRegion" Margin="0,-22,0,0" >

Now my application looks like this(with the -22 margin) :

Now it looks like a normal application without an ugly windows 98 or 2000 style and the close button, minizime button and maximize button are back!

Answer 2

I personally would, either play on margins, or better than that, investigate the style of that ribbon and change it the way it helps my needs
