Hi,

Is it possible to insert something like a "Linebreak" in a Group of many Buttons manually?

What i have now when the Window is maximized:

[_Button+Caption_____]

[_Button+Caption_____] [_Textbox+Caption____]

When i resize the Window, the Textbox goes to the third line (where i want it)

But i also want it in the third line on a full screen window.

Like this:

[_Button+Caption_____]

[_Textbox+Caption____]

is there some

pControl->SetLineBreak(); ?

(can't find anything in the manual)

Normally, Ribbon can hold three rows of controls. Maybe is your Textbox a bit larger than the buttons. Try making your groups bigger to make place for your controls. Use CXTPRibbonBar::SetGroupsHeight(int nHeight).

Hope it helps.

P.S. If you want to start a new column in a group, even if there is enough place in the current column, you can use CXTPControl::SetBeginGroup.

good morning :-)

yes, but it doesnt show up in the next row, it still floats around like the other buttons (means: on large window-> two rows, on small windows -> three rows) - but i need statically three rows

thx

I don't understand how come it is in three rows when the window is small, and in two when maximized. The height of the ribbon bar is the same, uninfluenced by the size of the window. Normally, if it has enough space it will display in as much rows as possible. Try increasing the height of the RibbonBar by larger number of pixels and see what happens. (For instance SetGroupsHeight(200); )

thanks, but that doesn't change anything (as i expected..)

the standard-behaviour of a ribbon-group is: use as much width as possible (not height) - so it comes that it uses two rows ("Zeilen" in german) on large windows and three in small windows (as i want it)

here are the graphics:

the left image looks just ugly, i need a possibility to have it always compact like in the right window

Code behind:

CXTPRibbonGroup* pGroupMonate = pTabTest->AddGroup(ID_GROUP_MONATE);
pGroupMonate->SetControlsGrouping(); // nice horz. grouping
pGroupMonate->ShowOptionButton(); // optionbutton
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_1)->SetBeginGroup(TRUE);
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_2);
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_3);
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_4);
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_5);
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_6);
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_7)->SetBeginGroup(TRUE);
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_8);
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_9);
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_10);
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_11);
pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_MONAT_12);
CXTPControlEdit* pControlEdit = (CXTPControlEdit*)pGroupMonate->Add(xtpControlEdit, ID_JAHRESAUSWAHL);
pControlEdit->SetBeginGroup(TRUE);
pControlEdit->SetStyle(xtpButtonIconAndCaption);
pControlEdit->SetWidth(120);
pControlEdit->ShowSpinButtons();

also a decreased size of the buttons or spinbuttons does not change the behaviour.

good morning :-)

-> i still need a linebreak for my ribbons

changing the height of the ribbonbar does not change anything, nor smaller buttons - they are still floating around.

thanks :-)
