I found a problem, I put on one form win toolbar manager, and win explorer bar. I activated that form (Form a) from another form (Form b), so when i push button on Form b, I create Form a. First time when it shows up, it's ok, I turn it off (just Form a, Form b stays on), and press the button again in Form b, and it again shows Form a fine, but when I click button for the third time, it gives mi this error

And it only happens with the combination of ultra toolbar manager, set to show ribbon, and ultra explorer bar. If I set toolbar manager FormDisplayStyle to Standard, everything is fine. And also, the problem doesn't show up always, it sometimes does, and sometimes doesn't. Very strange...
This sounds like a bug that was fixed a while back; you should download the latest service release and if the problem persists, log an incident.
Just to mention, this error still ocures in 2011 vol 1. I put ribbon style toolbar on form, and ultra explorer bar (outlook navigation panel style), and opened this form from another form, and it still has the same error. Where can I submit this error, it's really a big one, in my oppinion...
Update: I found what's causing this error. IsGlassSupported property. If I set it to false, everything is working fine.
This property IsGlassSupported for RibbonBar is still a pain in the a.. today. Oh my.
Another bug, with same actors and results. If i put on form ultra explorer bar with listbar style of control, and for example in code select group 2 of 4 (ultraExplorerBar1.Groups[1].Selected = true;), and start that form, ultra toolbar manager crashes. It crushes also if I change style to toolbox, and it work's for other 3 styles. Also, if I turn off isGlassSUpported in toolbar manager, it's working. It seems that they don't like each other very much :)
Is there any way to expand this gruop, and not to use Selected = true ???
