Hi,
I am adding a custom control to the ribbon inside of a ControlContainer. The custom control is a UserControl with a transparent background and some Infragistics controls on top (ie an UltraLabel with transparent background and a UltraComboEditor).
That being said, the control appears in the ribbon alright (besides some wierd resizing issue which I may ask about in a separate post). However, when I hover over the control, the ribbon group attempts to do its background gradient fade magic. The fade is much slower now that this user control is inside and flickers quite a bit.
I'm aware of the probable reason why - The UserControl and the UltraLabel must continuously update their background painting alongside the groups fade. The question is, how do I fix this?

I'm not sure there is much that can be done for this from your end. I would recommend submitting the issue to the support group: http://ko.infragistics.com/gethelp.
Is anyone aware of any update on this issue? I am having the exact same problem. Is there any way I can disable the hot track effect on the ribbon or on the page group that has my custom ControlContainer? Are there any other possible work arounds?
Thank you.
I just took a closer look into this and it turns out you can disable the transitions (fade animations) by setting the UltraToolbarsManager.TransitionAreas to None.
Thanks. I was also able to resolve the issue by enabling double buffering on the user control!
