 Hi,

I have a RibbonGroup with three columns of three controls.  Each column has a RibbonLabel and two RibbonToggleButtons beneath it.

The problem is that since these all display as text-only (no image), a user can't tell which are buttons and which are labels.  Unless a button is in the pressed state, it looks just like a label and it's not obvious that you can click on it.

Is there a way to differentiate how a RibbonLabel or RibbonToggleButton looks?  Ideally, I would change the buttons so they look like buttons even when not pressed. However, I haven't found any properties that let you change the appearance or fonts or colors of either control type.

I can add images to the buttons, but I'm hoping to avoid that. 

Any suggestions would be welcome!

 

Thanks.

Hi Robert,

There are Font, ForeColorInner, and other like properties in RibbonLabel
and RibbonToggleButton components (since build 2.0.20091.141).
For example, try the latest build of C1Ribbon:
