Stretch RibbonGroup to full width

[corner4]

Dear Telerik-Team,

 

I am working on the migration from standard Microsoft controls to Telerik WPF UI 2017/2 suite for our software products.

 

Is there any way to stretch the RadRibbonGroup from the left to the right of the window (please see attached file)?

 

 

Best regards,

Markus

Hello Markus,

As I understand you want to stretch the last group in the ribbon tab so that it takes all the available space in the ribbon' content. Please correct me if I am wrong. Currently, this behavior is not supported by RadRibbonView, but you can implement with some custom code. Basically, you can write a custom panel that derives from RibbonGroupPanel and override its ArrangeOverride() method. There you can re-arrange the groups. The custom panel can be assigned to the ItemsPanel property of RadRibbonTab.

You can find this approach demonstrated in the attached project.

Hello Martin,

 

thanks for your example - you understood my question, and the solution is nearly perfect.

 

When I am resizing the main window, the last group in ribbon tab is always fitting itself into its ribbon tab - it works great. But when I click on the "Maximize" Button, the resizing does not work. I tried some workarounds but nothing helped.

 

So do you know a solution for my Problem?

 

Thanks in advance,

Markus

Hello Markus,

It seems that the ribbon size is updated after the arrange pass of the custom panel, so the calculations are wrong in some cases. In order to resolve this you can alter the solution a bit. You can check this modification in the attached project. I hope it helps.
