Environment

Product Version2023.2.718
ProductRadRibbonView for WPF

Description

The content of RadRibbonView is not visible when the control is minimizable and WindowsFormsHost is used.

Solution

To host WindowsFormsHost content in a WPF Window or Popup, you should disable its transparency, otherwise the WindowsFormsHost content won't get displayed.

C#
	private void RadRibbonView_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
	{
		var ribbonView = (RadRibbonView)sender;
		var popup = ribbonView.ChildrenOfType<Popup>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "TabContentPopup");
		if (popup != null)
		{
			popup.AllowsTransparency = false;
		}
	}
