Hi Nathan,
I just created a new KB Article regarding your question: Adding and using contextual groups in radRibbonBar
Please review it and see if it helps. If the information in the KB Article is not sufficient I will be happy to assist you.
Kind regards,

Hi Jordan,
Thank you very much for the KB Article. Unfortunately, I can't figure out what the context of 'this' is, so am unsure about where the properties 'contextualTabsSelection' and 'richEditorToolWindow' are exposed. However, your code does look very much like mine:
The problem being with this is that setting contextualTabGroup.Visibility to anything results in a NullReferenceException ...
Even though, both the contextualTabGroup and ElementVisibility items are not null. By the way, the first code block is at the following position in the stack trace:
ProgramX.nTier.WinForms.nTierTool.UI.TabFactory.nTierConfigFileTab_TabRaised(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Documents and Settings\pledn\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\nTierTool\nTierTool\UI\TabFactory.cs:line 44
I am running 2006 Q4 SP 2.
A very attractive product! Just hope I can make my app work as well as Word 2007!

Actually Jordan, I have just got it working.
I don't know, but I think it might have been a bug.
Basically, I selected the contextual tab group from the Property list at the top of the Property inspector. This displayed the red dotted surround at the top left of the form (not where it should have been), but was otherwise invisible. I checked the Visibility property in the inspector, and it was set to "Visible". I thought I'd try and toggle it, and got a similar exception as before - when my code was running.
So, I killed the tab and started again. All working fine.

I'll certainly have a go. Might be in a couple of days time, as we're currently quite busy. Keen to help out, though.
