How can I insert only text and image in RadRibbonBar Right Panel Start Menu? Or How Can I make a custom form to be shown in RadRibbonBar Right Panel Start Menu?
It seems currently I can only insert separator, menu item, button and some other limited controls which are clickable and I can not insert simple label and image.
On the left side of the backstage you can add two types of items:
- buttons, which trigger some action, such as Save, Exit, Open
- tab item, which show a content area on the right side
In the example above, Save & Send is a tab item. On its right side, you can see a RadPageView control with couple pages/tabs (Send using email, Save to web, etc). And each of these tabs, show some content (controls) - Save using email, shows some buttons and labels.
So to answer your question, if you place a tab item on the left, on the right side you can place any controls you like - buttons, labels, grids, charts, anything.

I placed several panels on my form. When I clicked the central panel in the designer, the main form was what was actually selected (even though the panel should be on top of it, and the main form should not be (easily) clickable in the designer).
By the way, clicking the other panels on the form don't have this problem (all of the other panels are on top of the form).
Because of the form being clicked when I expected that I was clicking the panel, when I added several controls to what I thought was the panel (after successfully adding some labels on top of the panel), all of these controls (checkboxes) ended up on the form / below the panel, so that they don't display at runtime:
When I realized that the controls were on the form, and not on the panel, I selected the form from the Property browser, selected all of the checkboxes at once, and cut the group of them.
I then selected the main panel from the Property Browser, and pasted those cut checkboxes onto the panel. It sort of worked, but all I saw was their outline (all selected together). I used the Ctrl+Up arrow to move them in a body up on the panel, a little at a time, until they were all near the top where they belong. But then they just disappeared.
From now on I will make sure to right-click the panel and select "BringToFront" before adding any controls to that area; for now, though, I don't see the checkboxes on either the form or the panel. How can I get them back (and place them on the panel), and prevent the form from ever appearing on top of the panel (except if/when I select it from the Property browser)?
The checkboxes do still exist, although their names were changed from "ckbxAll" etc. to Checkbox1, etc. They appear on the correct panel in Form1Designer.cs, but do not display. Here is how they are represented there:
// panelMain
//
this.panelMain.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
this.panelMain.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.Fixed3D;
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox21);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox20);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox19);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox18);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox17);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox16);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox15);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox14);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox13);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox12);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox11);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox10);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox9);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox8);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox7);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox6);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox5);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox4);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox3);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox2);
this.panelMain.Controls.Add(this.checkBox1);
this.panelMain.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(160, 0);
this.panelMain.Name = "panelMain";
this.panelMain.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(639, 740);
this.panelMain.TabIndex = 2;

UPDATE
It turns out they ARE there, but they are invisible now (except for their outlines when I click on them):
My question might be simple but I couldn't find specific answer on web.
I have a winforms application with a grid inside, in which I have implemented a context menu to be shown on right click on cells. These cells include text elements that can be edited. When user clicks or double clicks on the cell, the text can be edited and that's what I want. The problem is when the text is in edit mode and user right clicks on it again, 2 context menus are shown on each other. One is my context menu and the other is windows right click on text including options like copy, paste etc.
I wonder if there is any event like "text being edited" or "windows default context menu opened" that can be used for such scenarios? Or what is the proper way of solving this problem, which I guess must be a common one.
In these cases I want to show only the windows right-click menu, not mine.
Perhaps you need the Control.GotFocus event: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.gotfocus%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
You could look for focus, then prevent right clicks in the control until the control has lost focus (Control.LostFocus). If the control gets focus from a right click, then you could open your context menu (I think).
How to make a control which has both button and togglebutton/Combobox? on clicking the toggle button i should be able fire a command depends on the selection.
1. I want some templates to achieve this (i.e. On clicking left side of the control, i have to fire Open command and on selecting right side of the control it should open other options ).
2. Also, is there any way to achieve such that i just have to provide various items like "Open", "Show previous versions" and the button takes the first item (in this case "Open")
In my WPF application I would like to get a dropdown menu under some other elements in the window. When menu is expanded it overlaps other controls. But I need these controls remain over the menu anytime.
I tried to play with ZIndex, but without any success.
Is it possible somehow to show dropdown menu under other controls?
Thanks for help!
You cannot achieve this with a drop-down menu, because by definition it is displayed on a separate window above the current window.
So if you want some control to appear under other controls, you have to use just normal controls like Grid, make them invisible at the beginning, and show as soon as you need the "dropdown" to appear (and of course hide afterwards).
I would like to achieve the "new tab" functionality of web browsers in WPF. In essence, I want to display a button after the last tab item which upon pressed creates a new tab.
I have no idea where to even begin. Should this button be part of the tab control or be out of it?
Okay, I found an answer, a duplicate: TabControl with Add New Tab Button (+)
