Setting Tab.Label Programatically doesn't update

Posted 17 years ago by Actipro Software Support - Cleveland, OH, USA

Hi Bryan,

It seems like the style is caching it. We'll look into this more to find a better solution, but in the meantime, reapplying the style seems to update it:

ribbon.SelectedTab.Label = "Test";
ribbon.SelectedTab.Style = null;
ribbon.SelectedTab.Style = ((IRibbonControl)ribbon.SelectedTab).GetStyle();

Thank you. That worked. It seems to mess up the size and label of the contextual tab group, but it's good enough for now I guess.

Good news... it took some doing but we now have a system where you can update images and labels programmatically on tabs and other controls in the ribbon and it will automatically recalculate group variants and tab layout sizes as needed. This will be in the next maintenance release.

The style is being update now by itself and I no longer have to call the get style.

There still seems to be a problem with the Contextual Group heading getting resized. The color coded part will remain short if the tab heading get's expanded with a longer label.
