Remove the space of the StartButtonImage

Hello Dominik,

In order to avoid the empty space reserved for the ApplicationButtonElement you should access the StripViewItemContainer and set its Margin property as shown in the following code snippet:

StripViewItemContainer tabsContainer = this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.ItemContainer;
tabsContainer.Margin = new Padding(0, 0, 70, 0);

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions, I will be glad to help.

Hello Nadya

I was able to get the tab to go away using the above tips, but the space is still there as shown.  How do I remove the empty space to the left of the first tab?  Here is my code in the form constructor after InitializeComponent():

        Me.RadRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed
        Me.RadRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.StartMenuWidth = 0
        Me.RadRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.ItemContainer.Margin = New Padding(0, 0, 70, 0)
        Me.PerformLayout()

Hello Scott,

The provided solution in my previous post is related to the TelerikMertoBlueGrey theme. However, the Margin property is the right way to manipulate the RibbonTab position. If you use another theme you should adjust the Margin property differently. Here is an example if you use the ContorlDefault theme:

Me.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.ItemContainer.Margin = New Padding(-45, 0, 0, 0)

If you are experiencing any further difficulties it would be greatly appreciated if you can specify which theme you use in your application.

I hope this information helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.
