Hello Andrew,

thanks for your quick and good support! Is's working in this way! Great! Only the not-so-good thing is for me, that it's written in C# and not in XAML - but this is okay. May be you'll find a way to define those things in XAML in future versions.

And your thoughts of the id property didn't affected me since I don't set the id property.

Have a good day!

Hello Andrew,

I've tested it and it worked as I said before. But now I moved the class into a own shared dll and I've got two error messages:

1. The specified value cannot be assigned to the collection. The following type was expected: "RibbonGroup". 
2. The local property "Caption" can only be applied to types that are derived from "RibbonGroup". 

But the SearchRibbonGroup inheriance from RibbonGroup as you'll find in my source code:

public class SearchRibbonGroup : RibbonGroup
    {
        public event RoutedEventHandler SearchStarted;

 public string SearchText { get { return te.Text; } set { te.Text = value; } }
        public string EditorCaption { get { return te.Caption; } set { te.Caption = value; } }
        public string ButtonCaption { get { return b.Caption; } set { b.Caption = value; } }

 
        private TextEditorTool te;
        private ButtonTool b;
 
        public SearchRibbonGroup()
            : base()
        {
            te = new TextEditorTool();
            te.AcceptsReturn = false;
            te.AcceptsTab = false;
            te.KeyDown += te_KeyDown;
            AddChild(te);
 
            b = new ButtonTool();
            b.Click += b_Click;
            AddChild(b);
 
            this.Closed += SearchRibbonGroup_Closed;
        }
 
        void SearchRibbonGroup_Closed(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Closed -= SearchRibbonGroup_Closed;
            te.KeyDown -= te_KeyDown;
            b.Click -= b_Click;
        }
 
        void b_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (SearchStarted != null)
            {
                SearchStarted(this, e);
            }
        }
 
        void te_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Key == Key.Tab || e.Key == Key.Enter)
            {
                b_Click(sender, new RoutedEventArgs(e.RoutedEvent));
            }
        }

And I'm using it in that way:

<ig:RibbonTabItem Header="Common.Item">
                <igView:SearchRibbonGroup Caption="Selection" ButtonCaption="Search"  EditorCaption="ItemNo" SearchStarted="ItemSearch_Click" />

ig:RibbonTabItem>

What do I wrong?

What do I have to do to get rid of these error messages?

I can compile the whole solution - it is only a error in the WPF-Editor but it's getting anoying when I use the SearchRibbonGroup often at the same window.

Thanks again!
