RadRibbonForm and background image?

[Chris The Wiz]

I tried searching,  bad search-fu,  no helpful tips.

In the radribbonbar control,   is it possible to add a background image with a logo? 
If you have three / four buttons,   then all the space to the right is empty,   which would be great to show of an logo. 

I tried

 

RadRibbonBar   = radMain.BackgroundImage ,   but that didn't work.

Or do I need to turn off Aero?  or?

Hello, Chris,

Thank you for writing.  
  
You can set the BackgroundImage to RadRibbonBar, but it is actually hidden beneath the ribbon tabs and the content area because they have some fill color applied. I would recommend you to set the RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.ContentArea.Image instead and thus show the desired logo. Here is a sample code snippet which result is illustrated in below screenshot: 

this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.ContentArea.Image = Properties.Resources.home;
this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.ContentArea.ImageLayout = ImageLayout.None;
this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.ContentArea.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;

  



I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help. 
 
 Regards,
Dess
