Automatic hide empty group?

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've got some buttons in context tabs that are automatically set to visible/hidden in its update command handlers from the current view.
The problem is that for some views the ribbon group becomes empty, which is ugly. I thought I could check in OnRibbonUpdate for empty group and hide it.

The problem with that is that when a group is hidden, the buttons inside it will never get a call to its update handlers. So if another window gets focus and the buttons/group should be visible, it still is hidden.

Is there any better way to hide empty groups or maybe force the update handlers for the buttons inside the group to be called even if the group is hidden?
