  I have two tabs in a new project's RadRichTextBox RadRibbonBar 'Home' and 'Review'.  How do we select the 'Review' Tab whilst in the Design View?

  Hello Dave,
  
  Currently the RadRibbonBar doesn't support design time selection, but we are working on a major refactoring of the RadRibbonBar that will be available for the Q2 BETA in the middle of June and one of the new features will be the improved design time support.

  Hi Sagar,
  
  You can use the Items collection of RadRibbonBar in order to access its collection of RadRibbonTabs. For example:
  

  private void RadButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

         {

             (this.ribbonBar.Items[1] as RadRibbonTab).IsSelected = true;

         }

  The whole solution is in the attachment. So please give it a try and let us know if it satisfies you.
  
  All the best,

  I too could not select a particular tab of ribbonbar by code and followed the solution posted on the link. I am contented with it.

  Hi Rank,
  
  We are glad to hear thet this forum thread helped you solve your issues.
  
  On a side note, I wanted to let you known that due to the many known limitations of the RadRibbonBar implementation, we decided to provide a new implementation of the ribbon UI - the RadRibbonView. You can find more info about the advantages of the new RibbonView control here.

  Hello Tina,
  I just lost 5 hours trying to debug binding problems while using the RibbonBar.
  Will you please make sure that people stop using the RibbonBar which is total crap and use the RibbonView instead.
  Write it in the doc, in the help, everywhere: do NOT use the RibbonBar.
  Thank you,
  John.

  Hello John,

   Please first excuse us for any inconvenience when using the RadRibbonBar. We are doing our best to make the RadRibbonView much better and improved control than its predecessor. We already removed the demos of RibbonBar from our demo site but we cannot remove its documentation pages because many people still have applications with custom RibbonBar styles and functionalities and need a guidance. I can assure you that we constantly advice our clients to use the new RadRibbonView.
  Thank you for your feedback. 

  Best wishes,

  Hello Petar,
  Sure I can understand that you cannot remove the existing documentation.
  It's just that you could write in the RibbonBar documentation that people should look for the RibbonView instead.
  I started my project a long time ago when the RibbonView did not yet exist.
  The only thing that made me try to use the RibbonView was because I had so many problems I could not solve while use the RibbonBar.
  Not because it was obvious to me but because I hit a wall with the RibbonBar.
  To tell you the truth, I thought that the ribbonView was making use of the RibbonBar and did just provide an existing office like view that I could customize... I did not know it was a rewrite meant to replace the RibbonBar...
  Anyway, my rant was not against you personaly ;)
  It was just that I worked all night long trying to solve problems that were solved already by the RibbonView...
  That control is awaesome... Works very nicely.
  Thank you for you help,
  John.

  Hi John,
  
  Thanks again for your feedback. We will update the RadRibbonBar documentation to list its known limitations and to point our customers to the new RadRibbonView control.
  
  The updated documentation will go live next week.
