The EiffelRibbon library contains the classes that are used to implement the ribbon facilities. The classes in the EiffelRibbon library all have class names beginning "EV_", the default prefix for EiffelVision 2 classes. So the EiffelRibbon classes can be seen as an extension to the EiffelVision 2 library. If you've used EiffelVision 2 to create applications with graphical user interfaces, then the EiffelRibbon class won't look unfamiliar to you. However, unlike other EiffelVision 2 classes, the EiffelRibbon classes only work in applications targeted to Microsoft Windows.

:A class <code>EV_RIBBON_TITLED_WINDOW</code> is provided with the library. <code>EV_RIBBON_TITLED_WINDOW</code> is a descendant of the standard EiffelVision 2 class <code>EV_TITLED_WINDOW</code>.

:Custom size definition is not supported, but should be included in a release in the near term.
==Known issues and limitations==
Initial distribution:
* Not all elements shown in the Type selector can actually be used in a design. For the unusable elements, pick-and-drop is disabled.
* The Contextual Tab is not supported. For this unsupported element, pick-and-drop is disabled.
* Resizing policy is not yet supported.
* It is necessary to freeze the target system each time the EiffelRibbon code is regenerated.
* When using <code>EV_RICH_TEXT</code> within a ribbon, the <code>EV_RICH_TEXT</code> may not be refreshed right after the ribbon has been displayed.
