WPF Ribbon - Generate Pages, Groups, and Items from a ViewModel Collection

This example generates ribbon pages (RibbonPage), groups (RibbonPageGroup), and items (BarButtonItem) from a View Model collection:

To generate pages in the RibbonPageCategory, bind the RibbonPageCategoryBase.PagesSource property to a collection. Use the RibbonPageCategoryBase.PageTemplate property to specify a template for generated pages.

The RibbonPage and RibbonPageGroup contain similar properties that allow you to generate groups and bar items:

• RibbonPage.GroupsSource, RibbonPage.GroupTemplate
• RibbonPageGroup.ItemLinksSource, RibbonPageGroup.ItemTemplate

• MainWindow.xaml (VB: MainWindow.xaml)
• ViewModel.cs (VB: ViewModel.vb)
