Is it possible to reduce the height of the Ribbon
posted

Hi,

I have the following questions regarding the Ribbon.

  1. Is there a way to reduce the height of the Ribbon? We want the ribbon look and feel and at the same time we don't have that many options to put on the Ribbon. Eventhough it has the option to minimize but at the times when we click one of the tabs, it looks too big (height wise) for our option set. Infact it looks wierd with one or two options.
  2. Is there a way to add a listbox in ribbon group under one of the tabs?
  3. Is there a way to clear/null the ribbon group caption (default "ribbonGroup1")?
  4. I see Ribbon skinning the MDI form's caption bar but it does not for the child form caption bar. Does ribbon handles that or is there an alternative way to achive this?
  5. Is it possible to hide the highlighted area (with red) as shown in the attached image. This menu appeares when we click the image (like office button) on the upper left corner.
  6. Can we add a label to Quick Access toolbar? Preferrably to the right hand corner.

Regards

Sivaram

    The height of the ribbon is based on the height of three normal sized tools. The height of these tools is based on the default font height for tools. There is no way to decrease the height of the ribbon. If you only have a few options, it might be better to show toolbars instead of the ribbon.

    You can add a ControlContainerTool to the ribbon and set its Control property to an instance of a ListBox on your Form.

    Set the Caption property of the RibbonGroup to string.Empty.

    If you have an UltraToolbarsManager on the Mdi child form and the Ribbon is Visible, the rounded form should be used automatically. Otherwise, you can add an UltraToolbarsManager to the child form and set its FormDisplayStyle to RoundedSizable or RoundedFixed.

    I am a little confused as to what you want removed. If you want the button to be hidden so the menu cannot be shown, you can set the UltraToolbarsManager.Ribbon.ApplicationMenu.Visible to False. If you want to just hide the right area of the application menu, this is not currently possible. You can submit a feature request for this: http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Protected/RequestFeature.aspx.

    No, you cannot add text to the QuickAccessToolbar and LabelTools cannot be added to this toolbar.
