Separator does not show

[PMoransais]

The Separator element does not show in RadRibbonView

This code is from the sample code shipped with telerik wpf controls

<StackPanel Margin="3">                             
    <telerik:RadRibbonButton SmallImage="Images/16/Cut.png" Text="Cut" Command="Cut"/>  
    <telerik:Separator />                             
    <telerik:RadRibbonButton SmallImage="Images/16/Copy.png" Text="Copy" Command="Copy" />   
</StackPanel> 
The panel is in a Ribbon group, itself in a Ribbon Tab.

The Separator does not show in the Visual Studio Editor (it is selectable but not visisble) and it does not show at run time.
Giving the Separator a width and height makes it visible at design time but not at design time.

Any help will be appreciated

Hello Philippe,

The Separator control is designed to be used in the RibbonView.ApplicationMenu mostly. It can be used inside a RibbonGroup however placing it in a StackPanel won't work. In this case it is better to use a RadMenuItem element as a separator like so:

<telerik:RadRibbonGroup Header="Group1">
    <StackPanel Margin="3">
        <telerik:RadRibbonButton Content="Button 1" />
        <telerik:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="True" />
        <telerik:RadRibbonButton Content="Button 1" />
    </StackPanel>
</telerik:RadRibbonGroup>

I attached a sample project demonstrating how you can use the RadMenuItem as a separator or the Separator control in a RibbbonGroup. I hope it helps.

All the best,
