What control should I use for this UI?

I'm relatively new to WPF, so could anyone give me some guidelines on how to build this UI (it's main panel of Paint on Windows) enter image description here

I prefer code style over XAML (just for the learning purpose), so a general idea on what controls should be used would be more than enough, I can handle the detail of each element.

When I had the same question in my mind, I did an analysis of all ribbon controls and collected their links.

Here are they

There are online templates. I think that you are searching for Ribbon Control Template. Then, Codeproject has a great article about this.

You can check this msdn article, too.

In these links you have a lot of examples.

To use it you will create a new project with an online template, like in the image bellow (you see: it's selected WPF Ribbon Application: enter image description here
