Dear support team,

Is it possible to change the height of a ribbon bar in CExtRibbonBar?

Thanks in advance,
Alan

Yes. This is what I need. Thank you very much!

You can override the CExtRibbonPage::RibbonLayout_GetGroupHeight() virtual method to change the height of the ribbon group. You can override the CExtRibbonBar::RibbonLayout_GetTabLineHeight() virtual method to change the height of the tab line.

Thanks for your response but after I added the code in my example as below (which use only 1 CExtRibbonBar) but it have no effect on changing its height.

class CMyExtRibbonBar : public CExtRibbonBar{
    INT CMyExtRibbonBar::RibbonLayout_GetTabLineHeight() const
    {
        ASSERT_VALID( this );
        INT nRetVal =    PmBridge_GetPM() ->Ribbon_GetTabLineHeight( this );
nRetVal = 10; // modified
        return nRetVal;
    }
};

The nRetVal changes from 24 to 10 in my case but it have no effect at all.

What I mean is the size of whole ribbon bar with lightblue gradient color in my UI. Can I change its size in height? Thanks.

Regards,
Alan

Please try to add the following method to the CMyRibbonBar class in the RibbonBar sample to see what you need:

class CMyRibbonBar : public CExtRibbonBar
{
    virtual INT RibbonLayout_GetGroupHeight(
        CExtRibbonButtonGroup * pGroupTBB
        ) const
    {
        pGroupTBB;
        return 300;
    }
    . . .
