Confused with Ribbon designer generated code and setting events through designer
posted

I have the following code generated by the designer

            Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.RibbonTab ribbonTab1 = new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.RibbonTab("ribbon1");
            Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.RibbonGroup ribbonGroup1 = new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.RibbonGroup("ribbonGroup1");
            Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ButtonTool buttonTool1 = new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ButtonTool("New Page");
            Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ButtonTool buttonTool2 = new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ButtonTool("Save");
            Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ButtonTool buttonTool3 = new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ButtonTool("New Page");
            Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ButtonTool buttonTool4 = new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ButtonTool("Save");

            ribbonTab1.Caption = "General";
            ribbonGroup1.Caption = "";
            ribbonGroup1.Tools.AddRange(new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolBase[ {
            buttonTool1,
            buttonTool2});
            ribbonTab1.Groups.AddRange(new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.RibbonGroup[ {
            ribbonGroup1});
            this.ultraToolbarsManager1.Ribbon.NonInheritedRibbonTabs.AddRange(new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.RibbonTab[ {
            ribbonTab1});
            this.ultraToolbarsManager1.Ribbon.Visible = true;
            buttonTool3.SharedProps.Caption = "New Page";
            buttonTool4.SharedProps.Caption = "Save";
            this.ultraToolbarsManager1.Tools.AddRange(new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolBase[ {
            buttonTool3,
            buttonTool4});

 

There seems to be some redundency here with two buttons being created for each one I want.  I tried remove buttonTool1 and 2, but then they disappear from the designer.  Changing the values of 3 and 4 change what's displayed in the designer.  Why are there 2 buttonTools for each button?

On the event side, I see that there is a toolClick event through the code.  In the designer, I can only set events for the ribbon.  Is there a way to set events for the individual tools through the designer?

 Thanks.
