Fillup all available space of Ribbon

Hi Michael,

I'm sorry but Ribbon isn't designed to handle those sorts of things since it doesn't really fit well into the variant model in the Ribbon specs. In-ribbon galleries can optionally expand to fill extra available space, but they have special variants that kick in appropriately when available space becomes limited.

Ok. Thank you for your reply!

Is it possible then, to get the actual height and width of the ribbon control or one of its containers?

Thank you!
Michael

Hi Michael,

Sorry but there isn't a way to get the size of the container. Per the Microsoft spec, the Ribbon is designed and intended to have controls on its Groups indicate their ideal desired size and then optionally support smaller fixed variant sizes if less space is available. The Ribbon governs at run-time when different variant sizes should be used, but isn't designed to support controls that grow to random sizes unless those sizes are fixed variant sizes.
