I have three StateButtonTools inside of one RibbonGroup in an UltraToolbarsManager Ribbon. The stateButtons are setup to display both Image and Text.
When the caption of a StateButton has no spaces, (e.g.: "CaptionName"), the StateButton width automatically adjusts horizontally so all of the caption is displayed on one line. The RibbonGroup also resizes itself nicely so it contains all of the other StateButtons on one line, and it appears that you can make the caption quite large if you like (e.g.: "AVeryLargeCaptionName".
When the caption of a StateButton includes a space, (e.g.: "Caption Name"), the stateButton always chops the caption at the first space in the and displays two lines of text below the icon of the StateButton. This also shrinks the size of the ButtonTool in the RibbonGroup.
In this scenario, Is there any way to prevent the StateButton from taking two lines for the caption? I would prefer to have the full "caption name" (including the space) on a single line below the button tool.
The SharedProperties of the StateButtonTool includes MinWidth and Width, but they appear to be read-only properties.
I am using NetAdvantage 2009 V2
Kind regards,Steve
Hello ,
Our ribbon had built based on the Microsoft Ribbons guidelines:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc872782.aspx
The Ribbon’s tools are designed to calculate their sizes on this way so that they take minimum width in ribbon. Also they are not designed to be able to adjust their sizes. This is because Ribbon should be able to arrange and rearrange its tool dynamically, based on the available space, ribbon stats and etc.
Please let me know if you have any further questions
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
To me this would logically be a function of the Office2007UICompatibility property. It would be more flexible and useful to me if I could manage the size of a Ribbon group when the UICompatibility is set to false.
Hello,
I am just checking about the progress of this issue. Please let me know If you need my further assistance on this issue?
Thank you for using Infragistics Components.
A similar issue was discussed before. So there is a way to manage the width of UltraToolbarsManager’s tool trough creation filter, but it is not recommended, because it could leads to other issues with reordering of the tools and etc. You could find the discussion and samples about the mentioned approach at the following link:
