I have an ultra drop down button. In it I have a toolbar manager popup menu tool. Everything works well except there is a gray strip to the left where the small image usually goes. I do not want the gray strip, I just want it to display the text there, but I have not been able to trurn this off.
I have tried setting PopupMenuTool's Settings IsSideStripVisible property to false. I have also tried setting all the tool'sToolDisplayStype property to Text only. Nothing seems to work.
There is currently no way to hide this icon area in a menu. I have forwarded this post to the Developer Support Manager to create a feature request on your behalf.
Has this been implemented now? How can I hide the iconarea?
The recipe above puts the items horizontally side-by-side rather than vertically top-down.
Hello ,
When UltraToolbarsManger was designed it must compline with “MS Office 2007 UI Compatibility” (for licensing and other stuff), so there were a Ribbon and Toolbar guide which must be followed in order to be allowed to call your product “Ribbon” and etc. However a few time ago (about an year based on my memories ) this requirement was busted, however our ToolbarsManager still support “MS Office 2007 UI Compatibility”, but now we have the freedom to make variety of changes on UltraToolabrsManager. So I suggest you to log this as new product idea for those features. You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at <http://ideas.infragistics.com>.

>> UltraTollbarsManager is not designed to hide IconArea
Hiding the IconArea is a recurrent theme here. I understand that the IconArea is used for check and radio menu item, but if you have neither these nor any icons in any menu items, the empty IconArea looks stupid.
I have a hard time understanding why you resist making it optional.
The same holds for the space on the right side of the menu items that is reserved for the arrow triangles that point to submenu items. If there are no submenu items (e.g. in a flat pop-up menu), then this is a large empty space that has no good reason for its existence.
Odd artefacts like this make an app look unfinished and they reflect badly on Infragistics...

UltraTollbarsManager is not designed to hide IconArea, what I could suggest you as workaround it to set PopupMenu style of the PopupMenuTool to “Toolbar” and then to manage all the tools in this PopupMenuTool to display as TextOnly. More information about this property you will find on the following link:
http://help.infragistics.com/doc/WinForms/2014.1/CLR4.0/?page=Infragistics4.Win.UltraWinToolbars.v14.1~Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.MenuSettings~PopupStyle.html
I hope that this will helps you.
It seems that I have a confusion between SideStrip and IconArea. If I set the 'IsSideStripVisible' Property to True, a "additional" space is added: the side strip!!
Therefore my problem is to hide the IconArea, since my menu entries have no icons.
Any ideas or workaround to achieve this?

Markus
I'm facing the same problem.
I have tried to set the 'IsSideStripVisible' Property, but it does not work. I have set this on thePopupMenuTool and the ToolbarsManager either, but no success. I even have tried to set the SideStripWidth property to 1, but the menu looks always the same.
My PopupMenu has two ButtonTools and two more PopupMenuTool and is used as a context-menu on a grid.
Any ideas, how tho hide the side strip area?
I'm using version 13.2.20132.2054
