Problem clearing ribbon bar (Q1 2010)

[Ben Hyrman]

Greetings,

I'm using the Q1 2010 WinForm Rad Ribbon Bar.

I populate a ribbon bar based on some application state. However, when I later try to clear the ribbon bar, it deletes the tab but not the groups or buttons.

Here's some example code to populate the ribbon bar:

string[] buttons = { "button 1", "button 2", "button 3" };

var navTab = new RibbonTab("Tab");

foreach (var buttonName in buttons)
{
    var group = new RadRibbonBarGroup();
    group.Text = buttonName;

    var button = new RadButtonElement(buttonName);
    group.Items.Add(button);

    navTab.Items.Add(group);
}

radRibbonBar1.CommandTabs.Add(navTab);

I've tried several options for clearing the ribbon bar. From a simple:

radRibbonBar1.CommandTabs.Clear();

To attempting to walk and remove each button and then group and then tab:

var countOfTabs = this.radRibbonBar1.CommandTabs.Count;

for (int i = countOfTabs - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
    int countOfGroups = radRibbonBar1.CommandTabs[i].Children.Count;

    for (int j = countOfGroups - 1; j >= 0; j--)
    {
        int countOfButtons = radRibbonBar1.CommandTabs[i].Children[j].Children.Count;
        for (int k = countOfButtons - 1; k >= 0; k--)
        {
            radRibbonBar1.CommandTabs[i].Children[j].Children.RemoveAt(k);
        }

        radRibbonBar1.CommandTabs[i].Children.RemoveAt(j);
    }

    radRibbonBar1.CommandTabs.RemoveAt(i);
}

am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!

Ben
