Hi Mark,
We have some ideas of things we'll try to help improve this, ideally without losing mouse over effects. We'll post a status update once we see how they work out.

Thanks. Yes, please keep me posted.
Hi Mark,
We've been able to update the ribbon controls to better support the touch scenario. These updates will be in the 2013.2 version.
Hi,
that's great news! When will 2013-2 be released?
Thanks
Mark
Hi Mark,
It should be in the next several weeks, as soon as we wrap up some last things.
Hi,
Even if I set QuickAccessToolBarLocation="None", although the toolbar is invisible, the space it takes (the blank row) is still there, in between the Ribbon control and the window frame.
How do I completely remove the QAT space?
Note that I am using a normal window containing a Ribbon control, not a RibbonWindow. The reason is that I cannot apply WindowChrome to a RibbonWindow (as per documentation).
Thanks
Charles
Hi Charles,
Sorry but that space is required because contextual tab groups can render their headers up there as well.
And actually, RibbonWindow (in 2013.1 at least) does use a WindowChrome behind the scenes. While you should not set a new WindowChrome instance on the window in XAML since that could cause issues, you can get the existing instance with WindowChome.GetChrome method.
Hi,
we are building an application with the ActiPro Ribbon component. In the Application Menu there is a mix of Ribbon Backstage Tabs and Ribbon Buttons. The Buttons do not have any Icons. If we use Keyboard Shortcuts and press the ALT Key, the shortcuts are shown near the correnponding entry in the Application Menu. But for Buttons they are shown on top of the Entry, for Backstage Tabs left to the entry. This looks a bit confusing. If you open Word 2013, you will see all Shortcuts at the same position relative to the command.
How can we do this with ActiPro?
Thanks in advance

Hi Marc,
I believe in previous Office versions, they were aligned how we do it now. But we will update the key tip locations for buttons in the Backstage header in the 2013.2 version to align with the tab key tip locations.
We are building an application using the ribbon and noticed an issue with the focus. If the backstage is open and another application is oppened in front, the focus is lost when we try to bring our application back up (ALT + Tab). We are not able to use the KeyTipAccessText keys at this point and the keyboard does not respond. I noticed the same thing happens in your Sample Browser Application.
Is there any way to fix this? Or do we have to programatically set the focus?
Thanks,
Joe
Thanks for your answer and thanks for updating the locations in the next version. You are correct. In Office 2010 the buttons had an icon and the text location was therefore different.
Hi Joe,
If you press Alt while in this scenario, the key tips will show up again.
Sorry, maybe I was a little off on the question.
If you do the same steps as above in Word, the arrow keys and Tab work fine when bringing the application from the background. In your sample application ALT works, but the arrow keys and Tab do not. It seems as if the focus is not in the correct spot.
Does this make a little more sense? Is there a way to fix this, or will the user have to ALT + Key tip to then have access to Tab and arrow keys?

Hi Joe,
Thanks, we have updated the RibbonWindow code for the upcoming v2013.2 to move focus into the Backstage in a RibbonWindow.Activated event handler, if Backstage is open and focus is not already in there. That gets Tab and arrow keys working again.
Even though this is only visually disturbing I wish to report this.
Should be easy to fix but make a better impression.

Hi, i have a problem that there are always 3 columns shown.
Old forum message shows to use the varianbehavior NoCollapseNoAutoSize, but this does not work also.
I tell the gallery to show 4, but it does not work.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi Tomas,
Thanks for reporting these. We've fixed them for the upcoming 2013.2 version.
Hi Arthur,
You are putting a RibbonGallery in a popup. RibbonGallery is only intended for use in the Ribbon, directly within a Group. You should be using PopupGallery instead if you would like to have a gallery in a popup.
Hi, I saw this question posted about 5 years ago but I'm unclear on the answer.
Is it possible to show controls like buttons and spinners with a label inside a ButtonGroup?
Thanks,
Steve
Hi,
A SplitButton behaves differently from a regular button in disabled state.
When IsEnabled=false, the image is still in active state. Whereas in a regular button the image is greyed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Charles
