RibbonControl Interface Module Documentation

1. Purpose

This module defines the core interfaces for a ribbon control UI component within an MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture. It provides abstractions for ribbon views (IRibbonView), view models that hold those views (IRibbonViewModel), and a mechanism for identifying specific ribbon tabs via unique identifiers (IRibbonTabInfoProvider). These interfaces establish the contract between UI components and their backing logic, enabling loose coupling and testability.

---

2. Public Interface

IRibbonView

Namespace: DTS.Common.RibbonControl
File: Interface/IRibbonView.cs

public interface IRibbonView : IBaseView { }

A marker interface extending IBaseView. No members are defined. Used to identify view implementations specific to ribbon controls.

---

IRibbonTabInfoProvider

Namespace: DTS.Common.RibbonControl
File: Interface/IRibbonTabInfoProvider.cs

public interface IRibbonTabInfoProvider
{
    string RibbonTabUid { get; }
}

Provides a mechanism for retrieving a unique identifier for a ribbon tab. Implementations expose a read-only RibbonTabUid property that returns a string identifier used to locate specific ribbon tabs.

---

IRibbonViewModel

Namespace: DTS.Common.RibbonControl
File: Interface/IRibbonViewModel.cs

public interface IRibbonViewModel : IBaseViewModel
{
    IRibbonView View { get; }
}

Defines the contract for a ribbon-specific view model. Extends IBaseViewModel and exposes a read-only View property that returns an IRibbonView instance, maintaining a reference from the view model to its associated view.

---

3. Invariants

• IRibbonView must always be assignable to IBaseView (inheritance constraint).
• IRibbonViewModel must always be assignable to IBaseViewModel (inheritance constraint).
• IRibbonTabInfoProvider.RibbonTabUid is expected to return a unique identifier string; the uniqueness guarantee is implied by the documentation but not enforced at compile time.
• IRibbonViewModel.View is expected to return a non-null IRibbonView instance in valid usage, though this is not enforced by the interface.

---

4. Dependencies

This module depends on:

• DTS.Common.Base — Provides IBaseView and IBaseViewModel base interfaces that IRibbonView and IRibbonViewModel extend respectively.

What depends on this module:

• Cannot be determined from source alone. No imports or consumer code is present in the provided files.

---

5. Gotchas

• IRibbonView is an empty marker interface. It adds no members beyond IBaseView. This may be intentional for type discrimination, or it may indicate incomplete implementation
