Hi
When I add a floating document, I would like to have the ribbon unmerged. When it is docked, I would like it to be merged. I've added an example. The ribbon is always merged or unmerged. For my understandings, when I set MdiMergeStyle to Only Maximized, it should be merged when docked and unmerged when floating.
May you add the functionality to my sample project?
Thanks
Roger
We have implemented the functionality described in this ticket. It will be included in our next update(s).
Please check back and leave a comment to this response to let us know whether or not this solution addresses your concerns.
We have implemented this capability. To accomplish your task, please set the value of the DocumentManager.RibbonAndBarsMergeStyle property to WhenNotFloating mode and set value of RibbonControl.MdiMergeStyle property to Always mode.
This worked great for us with "WhenNotFloating" and "Always". Then we updatet to 15.1.9 some time ago and now I realized that it is not working anymore. Ribbons are merged, but as soon as a document is floating, the document's ribbon disappears completely from both, the main and child form. Did anything change in the configuration?
It works with a simple demo, but not with our converted project.
DocumentManager's ContainerControl property was not set to the mainform (but I don't know why this happened). All working again.

Hello,
To accomplish this task, I suggest you use the approach from the How to merge UserControl Ribbon with main form Ribbon when Document is docked to TabbedView and unmerge it when Document is floating ticket. Please test it and let us know your results.
In addition, we'll discuss this functionality with our developers. Perhaps, it is possible to implement it out of the box.
