Hi,
I have added a group on my application's ribbon bar. The actual requirement is, the controls should be evenly spaced as shown below.
 However when I added controls, they appear quite unevenly spaced, as below. Please let me know, how to achieve even spacing.ASAP).
 The code for this is a below.
pUndeformedDispGroup->SetControlsCentering(); pUndeformedDispGroup->Add(xtpControlLabel, IDS_ANALRES_TRANSLUCENCY_LABEL); pUndeformedDispGroup->Add(xtpControlLabel, IDS_ANALRES_EDGES_LABEL); pUndeformedDispGroup->Add(xtpControlLabel, IDS_BLANK_LABEL); if(CXTPControlEdit* pUndefTransSpinCtrl = (CXTPControlEdit*)pUndeformedDispGroup->Add(xtpControlEdit, ID_ANALRES_UNDEFDISP_TRANSLUCENCY)){ pUndefTransSpinCtrl->SetWidth(50 * g_nHiResFactor); SESetStyle(pUndefTransSpinCtrl, xtpButtonIcon); pUndefTransSpinCtrl->ShowSpinButtons(); } if( CXTPControlComboBox* pEdgesCtrl = new CXTPControlComboBox()){ pEdgesCtrl->SetWidth(100 * g_nHiResFactor); SESetStyle(pEdgesCtrl, xtpButtonCaptionAndDescription); pUndeformedDispGroup->Add(pEdgesCtrl, ID_ANALRES_UNDEFDISP_EDGES); } pUndeformedDispGroup->Add(xtpControlLabel, IDS_BLANK_LABEL); if( CXTPControlComboBox* pFaceColCtrl = new CXTPControlComboBox()){ pFaceColCtrl->SetWidth(100 * g_nHiResFactor); SESetStyle(pFaceColCtrl, xtpButtonCaptionAndDescription); pUndeformedDispGroup->Add(pFaceColCtrl, ID_ANALRES_UNDEFDISP_FACECOLOR); } if( CXTPControlComboBox* pEdgeColCtrl = new CXTPControlComboBox()){ pEdgeColCtrl->SetWidth(100 * g_nHiResFactor); SESetStyle(pEdgeColCtrl, xtpButtonCaptionAndDescription); pUndeformedDispGroup->Add(pEdgeColCtrl, ID_ANALRES_UNDEFDISP_EDGECOLOR); } pUndeformedDispGroup->Add(xtpControlLabel, IDS_BLANK_LABEL); if (CXTPControl* pControl = pUndeformedDispGroup->Add(xtpControlLabel, ID_ANALRES_UNDEFDISP_SELECT_FC)){ SESetStyle(pControl, xtpButtonIcon); } if (CXTPControl* pControl = pUndeformedDispGroup->Add(xtpControlLabel, ID_ANALRES_UNDEFDISP_SELECT_EC)){ SESetStyle(pControl, xtpButtonIcon); } Note : I tried using 'SetControlGrouping' but that makes my display worst.------------- Thanks & Regards, Satyenjit Bagal.

Hi,
Don't add additional xtpControlLabel. Show Caption of Edit control instead. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Thanks. The solution worked partially.
Now I have following display-
 I want to display caption as well as tooltip for all controls. Also I want to keep them a bit apart horizontally and vertically. For horizontal distance I removed earlier caption and added blank space (3 tabs) at its place.
I tried to add caption and tooltip using 'SetCaption' and 'SetToolTip' functions, but it distorted the display as below.
 Is there any way to 'show caption and tooltip. as well as keep controls apart'.
