Hi - I currently have an application that uses the TabbedMDIManager as well as the Ribbon. I am trying to make the ribbon groups either visible or in-visible depending on which mdichild the user is on. Currently, if the user clicks on the mdichild which makes them visible, I can never make them in-visible until the user closes the application. In runtime, the visible property is being set, but it does not take effect. Is this a bug or intentional because of the Office2007UICompatibilty feature? and is there a way around this? Thanks.
gaxtell,
What version of NetAdvantage for Windows Forms are you using? I created a sample to try to reproduce this behavior but was unable to do so; I handled the UltraTabbedMdiManager's TabActivated event and in it, set a RibbonGroup's Visible property to true or false depending on which tab was activated. I've attached the sample for you to take a look at and compare.

I am using NetAdvantage for Windows Forms version 2009.1.
Also, I believe I failed to mention a couple things which may be the difference. There is only one child form and it has a ribbon that merges in with the parent ribbon. Under certain circumstances the ribbon groups on the child form's ribbon change (from visible to not visible). I do not believe that I can access the data that I need from the parent form's tab activated event. I am trying to take care of this in the form activated event right now within the child form. Any suggestions?
