wpf-7049-controls-and-libraries-ribbon-bars-and-menu-bars-examples-how-to-define-bars-and-bar-items-via-a-template.md
This example demonstrates how to modify the current BarManager’s layout in case you do not have direct access to this BarManager. The main idea is to use ControllerBehavior that provides the capability to compose bars or ribbons from templates using built-in Bar Actions.
For versions prior to v15.1:
Use BarManager.Controllers to set a predefined DataTemplate.
