RadRibbonView's height problem

[Peizhe]

The RadRibbonView's height cannot be adjust, when set it's height explicitly, it could be displayed correctly,
for example:

<Grid>
     <RowDefinition Height="100>
     <RowDef....>

       <telerik:RadRibbonView Grid.Row="0" >

      </telerik:RadRibbonView>

Hi Peizhe,

 By design, the RadRibbonView follows MS standards (described in design document) for creating an Office 2010 Ribbon-like controls. In these standards there are many constants like RibbonView.Height, Application Button Height, Width, etc.  So these sizes are static in XAML, they could be changed by editing the default template but this could lead to various and unpredictable issues. So you may consider changing the RibbonView Height as an unsupported scenario. Thank you for your understanding.

I'm not agreed with you. Since microsoft ribbon for wpf can change ribbon bar's height and work correctly.For small screen,the ribbon bar's default height(about 150) is too large.There is no reason to not able to change the height value.

Hello Peizhe,

 Could you please elaborate more on the control you mentioned ("microsoft ribbon for wpf 
") ? Is it possible for you to send us some snapshots, or captured videos. The MS Office Menus are with fixed size on different resolutions.

All the best,

Hi Viktor,

I looked at the PITS link you posted and it stated that the feature request would be in q1 2013, but labelled for silverlight.  Is this going to be a feature (soonish) for WPF?  We're weighing this on whether or not we can use Telerik's controls to provide a ribbon in our application.

Hello Sheldon,

This feature is implemented for both WPF/SL and it is available with our Q1 2013 binaries. We are having problems with the PITS items Product field for the RadRibbonView control. The Product field is currently displaying only Silverlight.

Please excuse us for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
