Dont know if its possible but can you hide or disable this part in the toolbar?
You would need to remove this element manually using a creation filter. If you have never used creation filters before, the following article has a brief introduction: http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/NET/2008.1/CLR2.0/html/Win_Creation_Filter.html. In your creation filter, the BeforeCreateChildElements should just return False. The AfterCreateChildElements should check the parent element type. If it is a RibbonCaptionAreaUIElement, you want to search its ChildElements collection and remove the child element of type QatQuickCustomizeToolUIElement.
Big THANKS! I have managed to do it... i have written this, is it correct? or is there a better more efficent way of doing it?
public void AfterCreateChildElements(Infragistics.Win.UIElement parent) { if (!(parent is RibbonCaptionAreaUIElement)) { return; } foreach (UIElement child in parent.ChildElements) { if ((child is QatQuickCustomizeToolUIElement)) { parent.ChildElements.Remove(child); } } } public bool BeforeCreateChildElements(Infragistics.Win.UIElement parent) { // return false so PositionChildElements will get called // to do the default child element creation return false; }
