The Microsoft Dynamics Action Pane http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/en/us/products/gp-whats-new.aspx or http://www.microsoft.com/global/dynamics/en/us/PublishingImages/scrn-gp-action-panes-lg.jpg seems to have many aspects of the Ribbon:
- Buttons organized in Groups
- Buttons of full height
- Buttons of 1/3 height.
It looks exactly like a single tab of the UltraToolbarsManager Ribbon. Is there any chance to build this from the Ribbon? I already tried to grad the UIElement and parent that in a Panel. Does not seem to work.
Hello Mike,
Generally you are right. If you want to follow Micosoft`s UI license it is not possible to achieve desired view with our controls.
Please feel free to write us if you have any questions.

That's similar, but not close enough. I know that you can "Dock" the Ribbon in any Container Container (although I'm not 100% convinced that this is o.k. according to teh Microsoft UI license - but anyway).
In the screenshot from MS Dynamics, there is only the content of a single RibbonTab on the Form, not the whole Ribbon.
But I guess it's not possible using the Infragistics Ribbon.
I try to made my sample similar to the screenshot. Could you please take a look at the attached sample and let me know if you have any questions.
In the Screenshots that I have provided in my first post there is a part on the UI labelled Action Pane.
That Control looks a lot like a single RibbonTab. Is it possible to use the UltraToolbarsManager in such a way to build something looking like the screenshot from the above link?
I`m not sure that I understand what exactly you are looking for, but you could find more information about our UltraToolbarManager in our online documentation : http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WinForms/2011.2/CLR2.0/html/WinToolbarsManager.html . Also you could take a look at the samples that we provide with installation of our controls. You could run the sample browser C:\Users\Public\Documents\Infragistics\NetAdvantage 2011.2\Windows Forms\Samples .
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
