Hi,

I have an application with a UltraToolbarsManager which I use to have a ribbon-menu. A part of the menu must be populated dynamically, which used to work fine. 

I added some Tools to my Ribbon as a test using the designer, which made my app to have a problem because of duplicated tools, which is correct. Then, I removed the tools again (select and press DEL), in the expectation that my code would work again, which it didn't!

After some seconds of debugging, I found out that the tools where removed from the ribbon-group, but that for each tool, another instance was created, which was put into the UltraToolbarsManager.Tools-Collection. And these tools weren't removed. Thus, I saw the designer-code: A complete mess!

Some questions came up:

Why does the designer must generate a second instance, when only the key is needed for the UltraToolbarsManager.Tools-Collection?

How can that be? And how can I get my Desinger.cs cleaned up!?

As far as I know, the WinForms-Controls don't need such a mess to work properly.

Thank you

Patrik

PS: The corresponding part of the Designer.cs looks like:

this.toolbar.Tools.AddRange(new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolBase[] {
controlContainerTool2,
labelTool2,
labelTool6,
labelTool7,
labelTool8,
labelTool9,
labelTool10,
buttonTool2,
stateButtonTool2});

But I only have 2 Ribbon-Groups with 1 Tool (one Group is initially empty and gets filled later).
