Hide Office 2013 Minimize Button

[Felipe Bahiana Almeida]

Hello, I am using the RibbonControlAdv inside a Panel, to control options of a grid. I would like to hide the minimize button along with the bar thar contains it. When it gets pressed, it generates an error. I believe that has something to do with it not being attached to a form.

Attached there is a picture of the part of ribbon I am trying to hide.

Thanks

Hi Felipe,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

Query 1: Hide the minimize button along with the bar thar contains it :

We would like to let you know that the MinimizeButton can be hidden by disabling ShowRibbonDisplayOption property. Please make use of code snippet for your reference.

Code Snippet [C#]

this.ribbonControlAdv1.ShowRibbonDisplayOptionButton = false;

The area which contains the MinimizeButton is used for placing QuickItems ,QuickItemsDropDownButton in RibbonControlAdv and usually RibbonControlAdv will be loaded in RibbonForm. RibbonForm is a type of form which hasrounded corners and flat title bar, for displaying RibbonControlAdv with OfficeStyle appearance. As title bar will not be available in RibbonForm, QAT items space will be displayed in that location. Hence this space is needed to be maintained. Please refer with below UG link for further reference.

May I override the method paint of the control and try to hide the upper area ? Can you help me do that ?

[Felipe Bahiana Almeida]

It could have a property to set if you want that part to be visible. When applying ribbon control to a panel, im my case, that space is just a waste of screen space. 

I don't see any reason to show it when there are no controls in it.

The sample provided will work as long as you don't dock the control on the top of the screen.

The same thing happens when you dock the control in top of a panel. Which is my case
