We have decided to try and define our ribbon bars with XML so that we can update the UI with just a change to the XML file, and also it would give the customer flexibility as well to change it.
 
What I want to do is have a "Font" section sort of like how MS Word or Excel does it.  So, it needs to be more of a toolbar layout in that particular Group.
 
Is there something I can define in the Group, ControlGroupOption, to make the buttons layout as a toolbar, i.e. left to right instead of vertically, 3-per column?

Think its easy for you first create layout in code and then save it to XML file with DoPropExchange method.

Should I be doing anything other than this?  Because it does not show anything useful.  I am using ver 1202.
 

XTP_COMMANDBARS_PROPEXCHANGE_PARAM param;

param.bSerializeControls = TRUE;

CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode px(FALSE, NULL, _T("Settings"));

CXTPPropExchangeSection pxCommandBars(px.GetSection(_T("CommandBars")));

GetCommandBars()->DoPropExchange(&pxCommandBars, &param);

px.SaveToFile("c:\\users\\joe\\testout.xml");

I finally found the answer to my question by investigating the code.  The answer is to add the following attribute to the Group:
 

ControlsGrouping="1"
