CommandBarButton Width

At what point is the Width of a RibbonBar button known?  I'm trying to add three "state" buttons and set them all to be the same size as the widest... but the width = 0 immediately after they have been added to a group.

private static void ConfigureViewTag()

{

    RibbonTab tabView = AddTab(ID.ID_TAB_VIEW, "View");

    RibbonGroup groupPanes = AddGroup(tabView.Id, ID.ID_GROUP_PANES, "Panes", false, null);

   

    viewObjectExplorerPane = AddControl(groupPanes.Id, "VIEW_OBJECT_EXPLORER_PANE", XTPControlType.xtpControlButton, "Object Explorer", "Show/Hide the Object Explorer Pane", "ToggleObjectExplorerPaneAction");

    CommandBars.Icons.LoadIcon(Path.Combine(ResourceManager.ResourcePath, "object_explorer.ico"), viewObjectExplorerPane.Id, XtremeCommandBars.XTPImageState.xtpImageNormal);

 

    viewPropertiesPane = AddControl(groupPanes.Id, "VIEW_PROPERTIES_PANE", XTPControlType.xtpControlButton, "Properties", "Show/Hide the Properties Pane", "TogglePropertiesPaneAction");

    CommandBars.Icons.LoadIcon(Path.Combine(ResourceManager.ResourcePath, "properties.ico"), viewPropertiesPane.Id, XtremeCommandBars.XTPImageState.xtpImageNormal);

 

    viewCalendarPane = AddControl(groupPanes.Id, "VIEW_CALENDAR_PANE", XTPControlType.xtpControlButton, "Calendar", "Show/Hide the Calendar Pane", "ToggleCalendarPaneAction");

    CommandBars.Icons.LoadIcon(Path.Combine(ResourceManager.ResourcePath, "calendar.ico"), viewCalendarPane.Id, XtremeCommandBars.XTPImageState.xtpImageNormal);

 

    SetEqualButtonWidth(groupPanes);

 

    //viewObjectExplorerPane.Width = 60;

    //viewPropertiesPane.Width = 60;

    //viewCalendarPane.Width = 60;

}

 

public static void SetEqualButtonWidth(RibbonGroup group)

{

    int maxWidth = 0;

    foreach (CommandBarControl control in group)

    {

        if (control.Width > maxWidth)

            maxWidth = control.Width;

    }

 

    foreach (CommandBarControl control in group)

    {

        control.Width = maxWidth;

    }

}

 

public static CommandBarControl AddControl(int groupId, string resourceName, XTPControlType controlType, string controlCaption, string controlDescription, string actionMethod)

{

    RibbonGroup group = RibbonBar.FindGroup(groupId);

    int resourceId = ResourceManager.AddResource(resourceName);

    CommandBarControl control = group.Add(controlType, resourceId, controlCaption, false, false);

    control.Action.Tag = actionMethod;

    CommandBars.Actions.Add(resourceId, controlCaption, controlCaption, controlDescription, group.Caption);

 

    return control;

}

 

Hi,
