PanelBarGroupElements not expanding on setting Exanded=True

When initing my form with a Panel Bar on it, I'm trying to programatically set a particular GroupElement to be expanded in my panel bar, based on a setting in MySettings. However, setting Expanded=True on the group element isn't expanding the element, nor is setting Selected=True. How do I programatically expand a group element?

If Not My.Settings.DefaultAppGroup Is Nothing Then 
    Dim defaultAppGroup As String = My.Settings.DefaultAppGroup 
    Dim groupElement As RadPanelBarGroupElement 
    For Each groupElement In RadPanelBar1.Items 
        If groupElement.Caption = defaultAppGroup Then 
           'groupElement.Selected = True 
            groupElement.Expanded = True 
            Exit For 
         End If 
     Next 
End If

I can't figure out how to add option buttons to the ribbon. I want a simple option button with two options in a chunk. Is it possible?

Thank you,

How to resize TextBox Element

I added a textbox element to my toolstrip item. I am trying to make the text box wider. In the design mode I finally figured out how to make it wider by turning AutoSize off, changing the width property and then going into the children and doing the same for the textbox item. This all works good until I compile and run the application. The textbox item properties reset themselves back to the default. What am I missing?

Thanks, Mark

Size of Icons

Hi, I read the Office 2007 Guideline and it saids that de size of the icons has to be 16x16 for small ones and 32x32 for the bigones. The problem is that if I use this size of the element ( Text below Image) is not the same as Word 2007?

If I use 48x48 icons the sieze of the group is exactly as the chunk hegith.

Controling the closing of docked windows

I know that you need to unregister dockpanels in order to remove them from the manager.

But how would I know when to do this? You have closebuttonvisible property to disable the close button, (even though it doesn't truly close), but how would I be able to determine that the user clicked it, since there doesn't seem to be a way to determine how the panel was hidden.

If the user selects hide from the dropdown, or closes it with the button, how can I tell the difference? I want to remove the panel if the close button is used.

DateTime with time

In the existing Win.Forms DateTime you can only set the date. You can set the time also if you specifiy it in the edit field.
However what would be nice would be a control where you could set both the date and the time using some clock control.
