Ribbon Buttons

Hi Michael,

Hmm... I think the problem could be that we designed things according to the Microsoft specifications where you aren't supposed to be toggling control visibility within a tab.

However if you can email over a simple project that shows the problem to our support address we'd be happy to take a look and see what we can do to help.

For a temporary workaround you may wish to create various Tab objects for each access type. Then swap in and out the appropriate ones based on access level.

Actually easy for them to create the project themselves.

Add ribbon bar.
Add Tab.
Add Group.
Add 2 buttons in group.
Set visibility of first button to Hidden. Second button should automatically move up to the left, and the group resize to not leave a blank space where button 2 was.
Currently, button 1 will hide, and there is a "hole" left where it was. We basically need some sort of docking and resizing behavior in the ribbon control.

Hi,

Try with setting up Button/Group visibility to Collapsed instead of Hidden.

Hope this help you.

Michael,

What Anurodh said is correct. Visibility.Hidden means take up the same space as Visibility.Visible but just don't show anything there, thus you see a gap. Visibility.Collapsed truly hides the element and measures it as 0,0. See if that helps.
