Question regarding Ribbon and resizing

   Hello NG,

we use the Ribbon Menubar within one of our VB6 Projects. The Ribbon is placed on a MDI Form. There are several Tools that only use a caption but no icon in Ribbongroups. When i size the MDI-Form so that not all tools are visible the tools without icons are not displayed correctly. They appear as empty tool in the ribbongroup

Her you see the Mainform of the application sized pretty small. The Button with the Tooltip Mitarbeiter Listenansicht is not displayed correctly. The group to the right of Mitarbeiter behaves correctly and shows it's content as dropdown ...

	you don't have icon for this button ? or it disappear after resize ? set manually style Control.Style = xtpButtonCaption to show caption always. btw. did you call Ribbonbar.EnableFrameTheme - extra caption doesn't look best.

	Also you might try to set AllowReduce to False for group

	Hello, i have no Icon for this tools, the style of of the tools is set to xtpButtonCaption. When the group has enough space to show it's content everything is fine. When i size the form smaller the Ribbon does not correctly applies the same behaviour like the group Mitarbeiter Suchen/Filtern (show a dropdown). The caption of the tools just disappear. Here is a screenshot with both states You can see, when the group has not enough space the labels are displayes like Tools with icons. The Option AllowReduce is no option .. this just looks ugly I've provided an icon for all tools as solution, but i think the behaviour of the toolbar is not correct. By the way, it's a great toolbar and i enjoyed the switch from activebar3 with this first project very much. Thanks in advance for your help
