How to manage place on ribbon ?

Hi,
I am completely unable to manage place for controls that I'm placing inside syncfusion:RibbonBar and syncfusion:ButtonPanel.

Let's say I have a textblock and four buttons inside a syncfusion:ButtonPanel. What to do so that the textblock be on the first line, the first two buttons be on the second line and the other two buttons on the third line inside the ButtonPanel ?

Like this:
_____________
| textblock |
| B1 B2 | ===> This is my ButtonPanel
| B3 B4 |
|___________|


Same question for syncfusion:RibbonBar.

It seems to me there is no property anywhere to handle this. Sometimes all the buttons are alined. Sometimes they go on two lines. Sometimes they are out ouf the scope of the ButtonPanel/RibbonBar and the user can't acces them.

Thanks

My drawing is not great. I hope I could explain myself.

Hi Nazim,

As per the MicrosoftOffice2007 guideline, RibbonItems should get arranged based on available space in RibbonBar. This is indented behavior of RibbonBar layout. However, you could achieve your requirement by setting margin property for ButtonPanel explicitly.

For Instance,

In XAML:







TextBlock














Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks for choosing Syncfusion products.
