Adding Commands to the Ribbon

This topic follows in sequence the creation of a ribbon application using either the Ribbon Application Wizard or the manual steps described in Creating an Application that Uses Ribbon Controls. 

This topic assumes that you are familiar with the TActionManager component and the components associated with its use. Numerous new properties have been added to help support the ribbon requirements. Many existing properties have no effect when modified on a command that is displayed on the ribbon. 

For instance:

• Small buttons always display their glyph to the left of the caption.
• Large buttons always display their glyph at the top.
• A Large button must have a caption. The caption can be a maximum of two lines, and the button width is resized accordingly. A large button's height is fixed to cover the height of the group where the command is displayed.
• Only small buttons with no caption can be displayed in groups.
