Remarks
Application menu is a control that can be accessed from the top left corner of the ribbon. There are two types of item that you can define in UXRibbonApplicationMenu which are UXRibbonApplicationMenuItem and UXRibbonApplicationBackstageMenuItem.
UXRibbonApplicationMenuItem is a command control which behaves similar to UXMenuItem. To learn more about UXMenuItem, see UXDropDownButton Overview. On the other hands, UXRibbonApplicationBackstageMenuItem is a more sophisticated control that displays custom content when the menu item is active.
The following code shows how to define three UXRibbonApplicationMenuItem and one UXRibbonApplicationBackstageMenuItem. Notice that the "Exit" menu item has a command assigned.
