map. Click the [ ] button to open the Select
Image File dialog box.
Organize Commands and Controls with Rows
A row, similar to a toolbar, determines the order and position that commands
and controls appear on a ribbon panel. Rows run horizontally on a ribbon
panel no matter if the ribbon is displayed horizontally or vertically. Not all
rows might be displayed by default on a ribbon panel, the <SLIDEOUT>
element controls which rows are displayed without expanding a ribbon panel.
A down arrow to the right of a ribbon panel’s title indicates that the ribbon
panel can be expanded.
Organize Rows with Sub-panels
Sub-panels do not directly contain commands. Instead, sub-panels are used
in combination with rows to organize commands and controls on a ribbon
panel.
Organize Rows with Fold Panels
Fold panels can have buttons, toggles button, split buttons, and drop-down
buttons. Button Style must be set to Large with Text. Fold panels can be
converted to sub-panels.
