The new C1SimplifiedRichTextBoxToolbar offers WPF Simplified Ribbon which provides you an option to work with a single line collapsed view or an expanded view containing three line appearances. This allows you to allocate more screen space to the working area of your application. In addition, it automatically combines items in a group into a dropdown when it doesn’t have enough space to display all group items across the window width.

The control is represented by the C1SimplifiedRichTextBoxToolbar class. It has improvised look and feel in comparison to C1RichTextBoxToolbar as shown in GIF below.

Quick Start

In this step, you create a new WPF application and add the RichTextBox and SimplifiedRichTextBoxToolbar controls in XAML. After completing this step, you have a mostly functional text-rich editor.
