C# WPF ribbon:RibbonTextBox vs. TextBox

Question

After installing Microsoft Ribbon for WPF, I create a WPF Ribbon Application. For textbox, I have choices of "ribbon:RibbonTextBox" or "TextBox" - they seems to work the same to me. Anyone know of the difference between the two?

Answer 1

The RibbonTextBox class implements ICommandSource, which allows it to integrate with the WPF command framework.

For instance, a command can be invoked when the text box has the input focus and the RETURN key is pressed, or the text box can disable itself when its associated command cannot be executed.
