Force bars Button To Use No Image Irrespective of Layout

Hi Miles,

A large-sized BarSplitButton is always going to show an image, using the fallback one as needed since otherwise you end up with blank space where the image would be.  I don't believe that a medium/small-sized BarSplitButton will show an image if a Label is provided.

For instance, I don't see a fallback image displayed with this XAML:

<bars:RibbonGroup Key="Group">
	<bars:RibbonControlGroup ItemVariantBehavior="AlwaysMedium">
		<bars:BarSplitButton Label="No Image" />
	</bars:RibbonControlGroup>	
</bars:RibbonGroup>

Thanks that fixed the fallback image removal but with four buttons it placed them in a wrap panel arrangement of two columns and three rows on an extra tall ribbon.

After experimenting and reading up I managed to get what I wanted by wrapping each button with a RibbonControlGroup, explicitly setting ItemVariantBehaviour to AlwaysSmall but also had to set MaxHeight to prevent a tall ribbon.

Hi Miles,

Keep in mind that the Classic layout mode for Ribbon is intended to always be three rows tall.  All its layout mechanisms are geared for that.  If you add four buttons to a RibbonControlGroup, they should be stacking the first three in a column, and the fourth will wrap to a second column.

Whereas Simplified layout mode for Ribbon is intended to always be one row tall.

By a "tall ribbon", are you saying that you're trying to limit the height of the Ribbon in Classic layout mode to less than three rows?  That is not an officially supported scenario and we would not recommend that if it's what you're doing, as it could introduce other layout issues.
