Version: 1.0.0

Description

This lab steps you through how to add an empty Ribbon to a small application, add various controls with icons, labels, and other resources to the Ribbon, and then connect the controls to the existing command infrastructure of the application. You will also learn how the API maintains separation between control organization and event handling. Finally, the lab will demonstrate how to specify layouts and resizing behavior to show how the Ribbon adapts and performs at different sizes.
