Hi
Is there a trick to placing controls into a Ribbon Control?

I try to drag a control into it, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I find the only way I can get multiple controls into a group is to get the first one in, then make it really wide which expands the grouping so I can get another one in & then shrink it down. Even then many times it doesn't associate the control with the ribbon so I find myself wasting a lot of time on what should be a very simple job.

I'm just about to give up on them altogether but I do like the way it looks. Surely its not meant to be this hard!

Thanks

Apparently it is indeed 'this hard' - and pretty frustrating.
Placing the first control and expanding the grouping is the only way I have found.

Dragging or cut&paste of an existing window control into a group rarely if ever works.
I always select new from the menu and ensure that the grouping border is highlighted green before placing it.

Hi, PC Soft announced in [ 54 ] of the v21 brochure that they will do / did something in regards to the ribbon control.

Hi,

Yes, there are some quirks with the ribbon control.

A Tip - when you copy a group of buttons to a ribbon group, the group itself will actually get green-highlighted when you can Drop your controls.

Usually only half of them will show in the Ribbon control (The rest will be outside (but in the group) on the left) - Since the controls already are selected use Ctrl-Arrow-right to get all of them visible in ribbon control.

When you have (as me) panes with a lot of ribbon groups, the easy way to modify the code/controls (without search/solution explorer) is to move the group to a empty Pane, and move back(up) after change.

Cheers
