Programmatically adding tools to ribbon
posted

 Hi,

I am trying to add buttons to a group in a tab using the following code and then set them to be large buttons that i can add an image to. I can't see any way to get this to work, does anyone have any ideas?

//create tools

            ButtonTool _btnTest1 = new ButtonTool("Test1"); ;

            ButtonTool _btnTest2 = new ButtonTool("Test2"); ;

            ButtonTool _btnTest3 = new ButtonTool("Test3"); ;

 

            _btnTest1.SharedProps.Caption = "TEST1";

            _btnTest1.InstanceProps.MinimumSizeOnRibbon = RibbonToolSize.Large;

            //_btnTest1.InstanceProps.AppearancesLarge.Appearance.Image = WindowsApplication5.Properties.Resources.LEA1;

            _btnTest1.InstanceProps.MinimumSizeOnRibbon = RibbonToolSize.Large;

            _btnTest1.InstanceProps.PreferredSizeOnRibbon = RibbonToolSize.Large;

 

            _btnTest2.SharedProps.Caption = "TEST2";

            _btnTest2.InstanceProps.MinimumSizeOnRibbon = RibbonToolSize.Large;

            //_btnTest2.InstanceProps.AppearancesLarge.Appearance.Image = WindowsApplication5.Properties.Resources.LEAHat;

            _btnTest2.InstanceProps.MinimumSizeOnRibbon = RibbonToolSize.Large;

            _btnTest2.InstanceProps.PreferredSizeOnRibbon = RibbonToolSize.Large;

            

            _btnTest3.SharedProps.Caption = "TEST3";

            _btnTest3.InstanceProps.MinimumSizeOnRibbon = RibbonToolSize.Large;

            //_btnTest3.InstanceProps.AppearancesLarge.Appearance.Image = WindowsApplication5.Properties.Resources.person1;

            _btnTest3.InstanceProps.MinimumSizeOnRibbon = RibbonToolSize.Large;

            _btnTest3.InstanceProps.PreferredSizeOnRibbon = RibbonToolSize.Large;

 

            //add tools to root collection

            TBM_Test.Tools.AddRange(new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolBase[ { _btnTest1, _btnTest2, _btnTest3 });

 

            //add tabs and groups to the ribbon

            TBM_Test.Ribbon.CaptionAreaActiveAppearance.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkSeaGreen;

            TBM_Test.Ribbon.Tabs.Add("Boundaries");

            TBM_Test.Ribbon.Tabs["Boundaries"].Groups.Add("BoundaryGroup");

            TBM_Test.Ribbon.Tabs.Add("Addresses");

            TBM_Test.Ribbon.Tabs["Addresses"].Groups.Add("AddressesGroup");

 

            //add tools to the tabs

            TBM_Test.Ribbon.Tabs["Boundaries"].Groups["BoundaryGroup"].Tools.AddTool("Test1");

            TBM_Test.Ribbon.Tabs["Addresses"].Groups["AddressesGroup"].Tools.AddTool("Test2");

            TBM_Test.Ribbon.Tabs["Addresses"].Groups["AddressesGroup"].Tools.AddTool("Test3");

 

            TBM_Test.UseLargeImagesOnToolbar = true;

            TBM_Test.UseLargeImagesOnMenu = true;

 Thanks

    I'll answer this one myself - you need to set the preferred size at the group level

    e.g TBM_Test.Ribbon.Tabs["Addresses"].Groups["AddressesGroup"].PreferredSizeOnRibbon = RibbonToolSize.Large;

    Is this correct? Its a little confusing if so as its the items not the group that we are displaying large? Should it not be something like TBM_Test.Ribbon.Tabs["Addresses"].Groups["AddressesGroup"].Items.PreferredSizeOnRibbon = RibbonToolSize.Large;?
