  • 1.  What is the name of, and how do I remove, the little arrow thing in the bottom-fight corner of a group in a ribbon, that I have made?

    I am writing code to make a custom tab in the ribbon interface.

    In each group, there is a little arrow thing in the bottom-right corner.

    How do I get rid of it?

    What is it even called?

    Is it a "Dialog box launcher?"

    Hi Nick,

    I think it's called a "Launcher Button".  You can turn it off using:

    Call SetRbnCtrlGrpIsLauncherVisible(thisRibbonGroupRef, False)

    James.

    ?

    If you are using the latest version of the RIBBONLib, Nick, the "Dialog Box Launcher" (which I think is the official Microsoft term of it) is hidden by default.

    ?If using the .net api there is a method on the IRibbonControlGroup

    interface :

     

    /// <summary>

    /// Gets or sets the visibility of launcher button.

    /// </summary>

    bool IsLauncherVisible { get; set; }
