Ribbon.LocalAppearance Property (ExRibbon)

By default, the LocalAppearance property is -1. The visual appearance of the local popup is specified by the control's Appearance property, while the LocalAppearance property is -1. The ShowLocalPopup property specifies whether the item's popup is shown as local. Clicking any item inside a local popup makes the popup itself to close including all its descendent sub-menus, without closing any ascendant sub-menus. The PopupAppearance specifies a different visual appearance for the current submenu. When using EBN appearance, using the PopupAppearance, LocalAppearance or Appearance, the distance between margins/borders and items client area is indicated by the client object of the skin/ebn object.
