How to: Add Bar Items to the Tab Header Area

• Nov 13, 2018

The following example demonstrates how to display two buttons in the same row with a RibbonControl’s tab headers. In the example, two buttons are created and added to the RibbonControl.PageHeaderItemLinks collection:

C#

using DevExpress.XtraBars;

BarButtonItem itemBackNav = RibbonControl1.Items.CreateButton("Backward");
itemBackNav.ImageIndex = 10;
itemBackNav.ItemClick += new ItemClickEventHandler(itemBackNav_ItemClick);
BarButtonItem itemFrwNav = RibbonControl1.Items.CreateButton("Forward");
itemFrwNav.ItemClick += new ItemClickEventHandler(itemFrwNav_ItemClick);
itemFrwNav.ImageIndex = 11;
RibbonControl1.PageHeaderItemLinks.AddRange(new BarItem[] { itemBackNav, itemFrwNav});

void itemFrwNav_ItemClick(object sender, ItemClickEventArgs e) {
    //...
}

void itemBackNav_ItemClick(object sender, ItemClickEventArgs e) {
    //...
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraBars

Dim itemBackNav As BarButtonItem = RibbonControl1.Items.CreateButton("Backward")
itemBackNav.ImageIndex = 10
AddHandler itemBackNav.ItemClick, AddressOf itemBackNav_ItemClick
Dim itemFrwNav As BarButtonItem = RibbonControl1.Items.CreateButton("Forward")
AddHandler itemFrwNav.ItemClick, AddressOf itemFrwNav_ItemClick
itemFrwNav.ImageIndex = 11
RibbonControl1.PageHeaderItemLinks.AddRange(New BarItem() {itemBackNav, itemFrwNav})


Private Sub itemFrwNav_ItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ItemClickEventArgs)
    '...
End Sub

Private Sub itemBackNav_ItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ItemClickEventArgs)
    '...
End Sub
