Hi Nandakumar. 

 

Thank you for your patience. 

 

On checking the reported behavior using the provided code, we suspect you are implementing the RibbonForm in your application. However while we try to integrate your code in our sample, it results in many compilation error. So we have attached the sample, in which we used RibbonForm and RibbonControlAdv. With this sample, we have not faced any UI design error on opening the form designer. Please find the sample and video for the same from following location

Kindly check the same and ensure at your end , whether you are facing any design error. If you are facing it, then please provide us the replication process or modify our sample to issue reproducible, so that we can check and proceed on it further.
