Showcase - RibbonGroup broken

[tmoes]

hi,

1)
there are a few little "copy and paste" errors in your showcase RibbonBar. (http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#ribbonbar)

RibbonGroup fileGroup = new RibbonGroup();  
        fileGroup.setTitle("File");  
        fileGroup.setTitleAlign(Alignment.LEFT);  
        fileGroup.setNumRows(1);  
        fileGroup.setRowHeight(76);  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconMenuButton("New", "piece_blue", menu, true));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Open", "star_yellow", true));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Save", "pawn_red", true));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconMenuButton("Save As", "cube_green", menu, true));  
  
        RibbonGroup editGroup = new RibbonGroup();  
        editGroup.setTitle("Edit");  
        editGroup.setNumRows(3);  
        editGroup.setRowHeight(24);  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Edit", "piece_blue", false));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Copy", "pawn_green", false));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Paste", "cube_yellow", false));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconMenuButton("Undo", null, menu, false));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconMenuButton("Redo", null, menu, false));  
  
  
        RibbonGroup insertGroup = new RibbonGroup();  
        insertGroup.setTitle("Insert");  
        insertGroup.setNumRows(3);  
        insertGroup.setRowHeight(24);  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconMenuButton("Picture", null, menu, false));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Link", "pawn_white", false));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Document", "star_yellow", false));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Video", "piece_red", false));

instead of

       RibbonGroup fileGroup = new RibbonGroup();  
        fileGroup.setTitle("File");  
        fileGroup.setTitleAlign(Alignment.LEFT);  
        fileGroup.setNumRows(1);  
        fileGroup.setRowHeight(76);  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconMenuButton("New", "piece_blue", menu, true));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Open", "star_yellow", true));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Save", "pawn_red", true));  
        fileGroup.addControl(getIconMenuButton("Save As", "cube_green", menu, true));  
  
        RibbonGroup editGroup = new RibbonGroup();  
        editGroup.setTitle("Edit");  
        editGroup.setNumRows(3);  
        editGroup.setRowHeight(24);  
        editGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Edit", "piece_blue", false));  
        editGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Copy", "pawn_green", false));  
        editGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Paste", "cube_yellow", false));  
        editGroup.addControl(getIconMenuButton("Undo", null, menu, false));  
        editGroup.addControl(getIconMenuButton("Redo", null, menu, false));  
  
  
        RibbonGroup insertGroup = new RibbonGroup();  
        insertGroup.setTitle("Insert");  
        insertGroup.setNumRows(3);  
        insertGroup.setRowHeight(24);  
        insertGroup.addControl(getIconMenuButton("Picture", null, menu, false));  
        insertGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Link", "pawn_white", false));  
        insertGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Document", "star_yellow", false));  
        insertGroup.addControl(getIconButton("Video", "piece_red", false));

2) Is it possible to extend the RibbonBar so that we can collapse them?
a) after click on title it expands (RibbonBar-expanded.png)
b) automatic collapse if the user leaves the menu (RibbonBar-collapsed.png)
c) a always expand option?

Can you give me a hint how I can develop this.

best regards,
timo

Thanks for pointing out the Showcase error, we'll correct that.

Adding an expand/collapse behavior could only reasonably be done as a Feature Sponsorship, or by implementing your own RibbonBar based on lower-level components.

thanks, I'll discuss it with my boss.

We've updated the RibbonBar sample in the showcase and the changes will appear in nightlies from Feb 9
