i use the tabbedMDImanager (see jpg in attachment).
Merging the ribbon should work like merging normal menu's. (See example from an other office2007 component vendor)

this is not what i mean.
with the office2003 layout you can use parent mainmenu merging with children. see code below.
Private Sub frmCrmRelation_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Activated
System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripManager.Merge(Me.CustomerBindingNavigator, PriceBook.MDIParent1.ToolStrip)
End Sub
Private Sub frmCrmRelation_Deactivate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Deactivate
System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripManager.RevertMerge(PriceBook.MDIParent1.ToolStrip, Me.CustomerBindingNavigator)
End Sub
with office2007 the mainmenu is replaced with the ribbon. So i need some kind of ribbon merging. Not 1 or 2 toolstripEx's. Ribbon menu, ribbon panels etc etc
thanks for your support.

Hi Edwin,
The current implementation of RibbonControlAdv not supports MDI merging functionality.
We have logged "Add support for Ribbon MDI Merging" as a feature request and notified our development team. We will implement this feature in our forthcoming new version releases or service pack releases. We usually have a timeframe of at least three months between releases. The feature implementation would also greatly depend on the factors like product design, code compatibility and complexity. We will get back to you once the feature is implemented.
Thanks for your patience.
Regards,
Jaya

Hi Kipriotis,
Thank you for using Syncfusion products.
1) Could you please look into my first update on creating RibbonForm ?
2) It is not possible to set MenuButtonImage on title bar of the RibbonForm.
Kindly let me know if I misunderstood your requirement.
Thanks,
Jaya

Hi Kipriotis,
Thanks for the update.
It is not possible to implement the sample you specified since the current implementation of RibbonControlAdv not supports MDI merging functionality.
We have already logged it as a feature request and notified our development team. We will get back to you once the feature is implemented.
Kindly let us know if you have any other queries.
Thanks for your patience.

like
Partial Class frmMdiParent1

if i do that, my form will NOT become like that
http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/2001900956898223184but it will remain as the picture on my previous post.
please check the pictures and you will understand what i am talking about. i used a componentone ribbon yesterday and in order to get that result, i had to make a new componentone form. i think that is similar to the inherit thing that syncfusion is using, but when i get the ribbon control on the form using the Syncfusion, my ribbon doesn't "merge" with the form in order to achieve that result.
maybe i am doing something wrong. if u can give me a sample of vb.net code i could test it.
thanks for your time...

edwin, i tried to open this project but neither exe from debug folder was working as i get critical, neither the project from inside the code, looks like syncfusion libraries are missing and i can't make it to work
but i have syncfusion libraries installed... that's strange.
any ideas?

Hi Kipriotis,
Could you please refer the modified sample in which I have done the following changes.
1) Added quick items to QuickPanel through 'Edit quick items' RibbonControlAdv smart tag option in the designer.
2) Enabled QuickPanelVisible to true

It looks like it is too hard to explain to you guys that i don't want my stupid form look that ugly on the title bar, but i want the blue TRANSPARENT theme that vista have on top!!!
i don't care about the quick links. i want that stupid ball to on the blue transparent title bar as in the 2-3 pictures i have posted in so many posts before.
just forget it. i am in a dead end. i used component one ribbon control that they give you an option to do what i want if you use their form. the problem is that your ribbon control is much better from theirs, but i want to be able to use my full vista skin capabilities! the blue transparent bar!
maybe i describe it wrong...
by the way you are 3 days off schedule on the beta release.

you have to comply to the Microsoft 2007 office Design Guides when you use their layout (royalty free licence). The 2007 layout is their IP!!!see attachment for a snapshot. So you can't do what you want with the office2007 layout !!
