.. class:: RibbonBar(RibbonControl)

   Top-level control in a ribbon user interface. 

   .. method:: __init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize, agwStyle=RIBBON_BAR_DEFAULT_STYLE, validator=wx.DefaultValidator, name="RibbonBar")

      Default constructor.
      
      :param `parent`: pointer to a parent window, must not be ``None``;

       an identifier;
      :param `pos`: window position. ``wx.DefaultPosition`` indicates that wxPython
       should generate a default position for the window;
      :type `pos`: tuple or :class:`wx.Point`
      :param `size`: window size. ``wx.DefaultSize`` indicates that wxPython should
       generate a default size for the window. If no suitable size can be found, the
       window will be sized to 20x20 pixels so that the window is visible but obviously
       not correctly sized;
      :type `size`: tuple or :class:`wx.Size`

      :param integer `agwStyle`: the AGW-specific window style.
      
      :see: :meth:`~RibbonBar.SetAGWWindowStyleFlag` for a list of valid window styles.


   .. method:: DismissExpandedPanel(self)

      Dismiss the expanded panel of the currently active page.
      
      Calls and returns the value from :meth:`RibbonPage.DismissExpandedPanel() <lib.agw.ribbon.page.RibbonPage.DismissExpandedPanel>` for the
      currently active page, or ``False`` if there is no active page.

      In the rare case of no page being active, -1 is returned.


   .. method:: GetAGWWindowStyleFlag(self)

      Returns the :class:`RibbonBar` window style flag.

      :param integer `n`: the zero-based index indicating the page position.


   .. method:: HasMultiplePages(self)

      This method should be overridden to return true if this window has multiple pages.
      
      All standard class with multiple pages such as :class:`Notebook`, :class:`Listbook` and :class:`Treebook`
      already override it to return true and user-defined classes with similar behaviour should also
      do so, to allow the library to handle such windows appropriately.


   .. method:: HitTestTabs(self, position)

      point lies.

      :return: a tuple containing the tab index and the :class:`~wx.lib.agw.ribbon.page.RibbonPage` if the :meth:`~RibbonBar.HitTestTabs`
       successfully found such combination, or a tuple `(-1, None)` if no tab has been hit.

      sized correctly. Also calls :meth:`RibbonPage.Realize() <lib.agw.ribbon.page.RibbonPage.Realize>`
      on each child page.

   .. method:: SetActivePage(self, page)

      See comments on :meth:`~RibbonBar.SetActivePageByIndex` and :meth:`~RibbonBar.SetActivePageByPage`.

      :note: Please note that some styles cannot be changed after the window creation
       and that `Refresh()` might need to be be called after changing the others for
       the change to take place immediately.


   .. method:: SetArtProvider(self, art)

      Set the art provider to be used be the ribbon bar.
      
      Also sets the art provider on all current :class:`~wx.lib.agw.ribbon.page.RibbonPage` children, and any
      :class:`~wx.lib.agw.ribbon.page.RibbonPage` children added in the future.
      
      Note that unlike most other ribbon controls, the ribbon bar creates a default
      art provider when initialised, so an explicit call to :meth:`~RibbonBar.SetArtProvider` is
      not required if the default art provider is sufficient. Also unlike other
      ribbon controls, the ribbon bar takes ownership of the given pointer, and
      will delete it when the art provider is changed or the bar is destroyed.
      
      If this behaviour is not desired, then clone the art provider before setting
      it.
      
      :param `art`: an art provider.
      
      :note: Reimplemented from :class:`~wx.lib.agw.ribbon.control.RibbonControl`.


   .. method:: SetTabCtrlMargins(self, left, right)

      Set the margin widths (in pixels) on the left and right sides of the tab bar
      region of the ribbon bar.
      
      These margins will be painted with the tab background, but tabs and scroll
      buttons will never be painted in the margins. The left margin could be used for
      rendering something equivalent to the "Office Button", though this is not
      currently implemented. The right margin could be used for rendering a help
      button, and/or MDI buttons, but again, this is not currently implemented.
      
      :param integer `left`: the left margin (in pixels);
      :param integer `right`: the right margin (in pixels).


   .. method:: ShowPanels(self, show=True)

      Shows or hides the panels inside :class:`RibbonBar`.
      
      :param bool `show`: ``True`` to show the panels, ``False`` to hide them.
