RadRibbonBar StartMenuBottomStrip

[Sean]

Just trialing the RadRibbonBar and noticed you can add buttons to the bottom of the start menu (which end up in the StartMenuBottomStrip collection property) via the designer but when the form is run the buttons do not appear. What is supposed to happen when you use the StartMenuBottomStrip property?

Thanks
Sean

Hello Sean,

Thank you for writing.

I have tried a similar scenario to yours and can confirm that buttons added in StartMenuBottomStrip through design-time do not appear at run-time. This is a undesired behavior and we will address it in some of the next releases.

Currently, you could avoid this by adding buttons by code:
 

this.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuBottomStrip.Clear(); //use this if you want to remove default buttons
this.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuBottomStrip.Add(new RadMenuButtonItem("myButton"));

I have updated your Telerik points for bringing our attention on this. If you have other questions, do not hesitate to contact me again.

Hi Pawel,

As we discussed in your support ticket regarding the same matter, this property will be removed from design time in Q3 2012. Here is a link to the PITS item: http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/winforms/12129.
 
All the best,
