Adding own controls on a RibbonTab - Ribbon for WPF Forum

Hello,

is it possible to add my own control to the RibbonTab?
(not in the group-area! In the Tab-Area near to the Tab-Text)
I would like to display 2 icons, a text and a button.

Thanks!

Hi Stephan,

Sure, our main demo shows how a help button can be added to the area to the right of the tabs but at the same vertical location as the tabs. You can add any controls there that you wish.

To do this, just add the controls to the Ribbon.TabPanelItems collection like:

<ribbon:Ribbon.TabPanelItems>
    <ribbon:Button KeyTipAccessText="Z" Command="ApplicationCommands.Help" />
</ribbon:Ribbon.TabPanelItems>

Thanks for your answer!
But i need to add controls to the tab-item itself. E.g. a icon before the tab-caption, and a button after...

Thanks!

Hi Stephan,

Ahh unfortunately the Ribbon tabs don't support that since they have very strict specifications on how they have to resize per the Microsoft Ribbon UI guidelines.
