How do you set spacing between RibbonBar widgets?

11 years 10 months ago #1 by Ben
If I have a 32x32 icon button (an action) and place a widget to the right of it, however the spacing is way too close and it looks cramped. How do I set the left margin on the widget (say a combobox)?

At the moment padding can not be set explicitly. We are currently working on a new mechanism of Ribbon item's layout, in which this can be obviously realized. The mechanism will allow to group elements in the Ribbon page arbitrarily and even create new rows of the elements.
For example you can put the items in the four rows instead of three as now.
Very closely to what is specified in this specification:

However, this mechanism appears in the major version in late summer.

Please show me the code that you are trying and maybe i can to help to solve problem in current implementation.

Any status on this update?

I'd also like the ability to control the layout more. One of our current problems is the Ribbon Group will stack three rows of small buttons before making a second column. I'd like to control when the group switches to a new column (i.e. put down two small buttons then start a new column and add some additional widgets like a spin box).
