I have come across this application that uses the infragistic ultratoolbarsmanager control that shows the ribbon on only a part of the form. I am not sure if they use mdi child forms but I was hoping if i could setup a similar ribbon control that shows up only on the child forms. i have looked around and tried everything with no luck, any ideas would be helpfull. Alternatively if i could merge the ribbons from all the child forms and show the merged ribbon for all the open child forms (unlike the default behaviour of merging only the active child form) that would do too.

 I have attached a screenshot to show what i was hoping to acheive. Thanks in advance
