Hi,
I've looked on the forum and found nothing about it so i'm posting a question in here. Is there a way to host a Ribbon in a userControl? I've got a mainform and having a bunch of usercontrols load and switched from/to and want to display the contextual RibbonTool merged into the main form ribbon.
As soon as i try to activate the Ribbon on a UserControl host and tells me that it require a form to be hosted, is there a way to bypass this issue? I simply need a way to design my ribbon tools for that userControl and merge it with the main ribbon at runtime.
Thanks a lot!
Hello pmorin,
Could you please review the sample attached to this post and see if it meets your requirements.
Please feel free to let me know if I misunderstood you or if you have any other questions.
How i can merge my ribbon in the Usercontrol by the ribbon in my main form ?
thx
I attached the source code for my example.
thx.
Hello Lahmar,
Thank you for the screenshot and the code sample provided. After some investigation, I came to the conclusion that this is not a supported feature. You would have to move the tools and groups by yourself, manually.
If you wish, I could log a new product idea for you, which will contain the screenshot.
YES PLEASE .
THX

Hi, I think I've tried this a slightly different way but with the MDIMergeable property disabled and doing the merge manually by setting the ActiveMDIChildManager property. It works fine merging the mdi child form ribbon into the mdi parent, and will merge the user control ribbon into the mdi child ribbon (I assume this as that code line doesn't throw an error) but when trying to refresh the mdiparent merge then it falls over somewhere in the infragistics code when it tries to merge in a button from the group. Boris could you take a look and tell me if there is a quick fix to this or if it's just not possible. Code attached.
