Hi *,
is there a way to add a help button between the title bar and the ribbon? If you look at Office 2007, there's an help icon on the right hand side.
thx

Currently there is no built in support for this but you could provide a modified template/style for the XamRibbon.RibbonTabControlStyleKey. You may also want to submit a request for adding this as part of the product - http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Protected/RequestFeature.aspx
Hy Andrew.
Do you know if this feature it's implemented in Infragistics 2008 vol.2 or if it will be implemented in later versions, maybe hotfixes?
Thanks.
Nico
There wasn't anything specific to this feature added in 2008 Vol 2 and unfortunately I cannot discuss features of future versions. You should definitely submit a suggestion for it if you haven't already. One thing that you may be able to do for now is to get the XamTabControl contained within the xamRibbon and set its PostTabItemContent.
e.g.
Using the provided snippet produces a button which doesn't conform to the ribbon's style. Replacing the Button with ButtonTool almost works, but there is a visible lump to the right of the image (due to the control expecting a caption there).
Still no news?
I suspect this will be added in a future version since it has been requested several times but unfortunately currently there is no specific functionality exposed for this.
Hello,
I'm on 2012.2. Has this functionality been added, or do I need to perform workaround?
Thanks!
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and I can say that still there is no built in functionality for help button, so I can suggest you use the workaround from the earlier posts of this thread.
Thank you! This is exactly what I and others have been looking for. This is perfect.
Actually, this feature is supported (and built-in) by using the TabIteAreaToolbar. This toolbar allows you to pace any element, in your case a help button, to the right of the ribbon tabs just like you would expect in Office. This feature was added for this specific scenario.
Hello Jason,
Still this feature is not built in, but If you want to add buttons in the XamRibbonWindow's TitleBar you can see this forum thread:
http://es.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/25725.aspx
where is explained how to do so. You can also see the sample in the Samples Browser under xamRibbon \ Display \ Tab Item Area Toolbar section, where it is explained how to add items at the right end of the xamRibbon's tab area. You can also suggest this feature as new product idea here:

Is there any update on this? Is this product still being maintained? We need a proper XAML solution to this, not a workaround in code.
