## The Ribbon Bar

The ribbon is first introduced by Microsoft in the 2000's. It is a toolbar with a tabbed interface. According to [Microsoft](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/mfc/ribbon-designer-mfc?view=msvc-170):

- A ribbon is a user interface (UI) element that organizes commands into logical groups. These groups appear on separate tabs in a strip across the top of the window. The ribbon replaces the menu bar and toolbars. A ribbon can significantly improve application usability. For more information, see Ribbons. The following illustration shows a ribbon.

- **Quick Access toolbar**: A small, customizable toolbar that displays frequently used commands.

- **Category**: The logical grouping that represents the contents of a ribbon tab.

- **Category Default button**: The button that appears on the ribbon when the ribbon is minimized. When the button is clicked, the category reappears as a menu.

- **Panel**: An area of the ribbon bar that displays a group of related controls. Every ribbon category contains one or more ribbon panels.

- **Ribbon elements**: Controls in the panels, for example, buttons and combo boxes. To see the various controls that can be hosted on a ribbon, see RibbonGadgets Sample: Ribbon Gadgets Application.
