Have adjusted your example. Could you have a look?

Btw, if you add another button to move it back to the original ribbon, the PopupMenuTool is fine again...

thx, Lieven Cardoen

Hi Boris,

Tested it with Infragistics 12.1 and I'm having the same issue. (We do work with 11 though).

Seems like each time you move the RibbonTab to another Ribbon, the deepest childs get lost... So if I move it from Ribbon 1 to Ribbon 2 and then from Ribbon 2 to Ribbon3, then not only the Buttons in the PopupMenuTool are gone, but also the Buttons in the Tab itself.

Thx, Lieven Cardoen

Hello Lieven,

It seems that with these nested collections of tools these tools were never added to the UltraToolbarsManager when you move the PopupMenuTool and they need to be added to the UltraToolbarsManager’s root tools collection.

So a workaround would be to move these tools to the root collection of the second UltraToolbarsManager? Am I correct that this is a bug or is it expected behaviour?

Hello,

Yes, this is the way it should be done. I believe that this is an expected behavior.

Please feel free to let me know if a question about our toolset comes up on your mind.

Well, in the future it would be nice if Infragistics added support for multiple merging... but apart from that, I don't need any further assistance on this. thx.

Hello,

I am checking about the progress of this issue. Please let me know If you need any further assistance on this.

Hello,

Glad to hear that you found a way to do it. I hope that my approach will be good enough for you. If it needs any adjustments please let me know, I will be happy to assist you further on this.

Hi Boris,

For now I manually fixed the PopupMenuTools, but I'll try your approach later on (sprint is coming to an end...).

I'll keep you posted on this.

Thx for the effort!

Hello Lieven,

I took some time researching this and came to the conclusion that it might be better if we use the approach with saving and loading the toolbar data from the first to the second Ribbon.

Please try the following code and let me know if it suits your needs:

        private void ultraButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ultraToolbarsManager1.SaveAsXml("..//..//layout.xml", true);
            ultraToolbarsManager2.LoadFromXml("..//..//layout.xml");            
        }

I will be waiting for your feedback.
