    Hi,

    I need to hide the MDIButtons (Minimize, Restore/Maximize, Close buttons) of RadRibbonBar in RadRibbonForm. I tried using this code (radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.MDIbutton.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;) but it always shows whenever I resize or maximize the form or show another child form. I attached a screen shot.

    Many thanks,

    Ian

    Edit: I'm using version 2011.1.11.315

    Helo Ian,

    In this way, the RadRibbonBar is just like a form. You can hide these buttons in the following way
    Hope that helps
    Richard
    this.radRibbonBar1.MinimizeButton = false;
    this.radRibbonBar1.MaximizeButton = false;
    this.radRibbonBar1.CloseButton = false;

    Hi Richard,

    Thank you for your reply. The code you suggest hides the upper buttons. I want the upper buttons to be shown and the lower, hidden. I attached another screen shot. I hope I'm a bit clearer this time.

    Many Thanks,

    Ian

    Hello Ian,

    By default, when youy create a RadRibbonForm and create a tab on this form, there are only one set of minimize, close and maxmize buttons showing.

    Please could you post some sample code (using the code formatting tools) to show how you are creating your form with these two sets of buttons.
    Apologies for the confusion
    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    Here, is my code:
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
     
    namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
    {
        public partial class Form1 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadRibbonForm
        {
            public Form1()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
     
            private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
               
                var frm = new Form2();
                frm.MdiParent = this;
                frm.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
                frm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
                frm.Show();
            }
             
        }
    }

    Many thanks,

    Ian
