Docking RibbonBar to the right side in a DLL

[Dov]

Hi,

I'm setting my RibbonTabs from a class library at runtime.

I've tried to use your example from here: https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/5789/how-to-dock-ribbonbar-at-the-right-side

One of the RibbonTabs has RibbonBars in it and as a

collapseRibbonBar aswell. 

I set 

SizeChanged="ribbon_SizeChanged" in the MainWindow where the Ribbon exist.

In there I write the code:

            double width = 0;

            try
            {
                RibbonTabItemsControl ribbontabitem = VisualUtils.FindDescendant( this, typeof( RibbonTabItemsControl ) ) as RibbonTabItemsControl;

                foreach( Button item in VisualUtils.EnumChildrenOfType( ribbontabitem, typeof( Button ) ) )
                {
                    width = item.ActualWidth;
                }

                if( AdvancedDll != null )
                {
                    AdvancedDll.RibbonSizeChanged( ribbontabitem.ActualWidth, width );
                }
            }
            catch( Exception ex )
            {
                WriteToLogFile( "Error: " + ex.ToString() );
            }


And if AdvancedDll exist I enter the 

RibbonSizeChanged.  
 

RibbonSizeChanged (In the DLL):


        public void RibbonSizeChanged( double TabActualWidth, double width )
        {
            try
            {
                Measure( new Size() );

                collapseRibbonBar.Width = TabActualWidth - ( ModeBar.ActualWidth + ImportExportBar.ActualWidth + ConfigBar.ActualWidth
                + StandardBar.ActualWidth + ToolsBar.ActualWidth + ViewBar.ActualWidth + MarkersBar.ActualWidth + DownloadBar.ActualWidth ) 
                - width + 7;
            }
            catch( Exception )
            {

            }  
        }


I don't set Width to the RibbonBars in my class library because I want my application to look the same on different screen resolutions so the 

ActualWidth that I received 

is 0 (that is why I tried to use

Measure( new Size() ); but with no success). 

In the MainWindow the window state is set to maximized, and it seems that Measure won't work until I resize my window, then I'll get 

ActualWidth to all RibbonBars, but still the result looks funny.

I've added a sample video to show you the problem.

Is there a way to fix this issue?

Regards,

Dov.

Hi Dov,   

   

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.   

   

We have checked the reported behavior by creating a simple sample with your shared code and we were unable to reproduce the reported behavior from our side. We can see the space in the right side of the RibbonBar, we have prepared sample and video for your reference and it can be downloaded from the below location.   

   

Sample: RibbonDemoSample   

   

Video: RibbonCollapse   

   

Can you check with the above video and sample for the scenario we have checked and let us know if we misunderstood your query? If so, then can you share the simple sample which replicates the issue which will be helpful for us to analyze and provide the solution at earliest.

Hi Keerthana,

Thank you for your fast reply.

You understood the problem, the space on the right side is the problem.

I would like the RibbonBar named: DownloadBar to be docked to the right at all time, without any space, even if I change the window state.

There is a great solution by Syncfusion: Solution (please see sample code in the last comment by M.Sugapriya).

But I can't seem to get it to work properly from a DLL.


Regards,

Dov.

Hi Dov,   

   

Thanks for explaining your requirement.   

    

We have modified the sample in which we have iterated through the RibbonBar’s of the HomeTab and based on its width we have updated the margin of the RibbonBar which is present at the end of RibbonTab in SizeChanged event of the Ribbon. It can be downloaded from the below location.
