Can't hide a task Ribbon Group?

I have the following code in the OnADXNewInspector of the TadxOutlookAppEvents, and also tried in the OnADXNewInspector of the TadxOlFOrmsManager.

with AladTP.rbTask.Controls do
begin
(Items[0] as TadxRibbonGroup).Visible := not bShow; //Old Manage Tasks group
(Items[1] as TadxRibbonGroup).Visible := bShow; //Project Options
end;

the first control is the Manage Tasks group, the second is my own group, it will only show if I have my custom form shown, which is dependant on the type of message class.

I have set the the IdMso to 'ManageTaskGroup' in the ribbon group I am trying to hide (Control 0).

Any ideas why this is happening?

Hi Jason,

'GroupManageTask', not 'ManageTaskGroup'.

Sorry I entered it wrong in the forum, yes I have tried GroupManageTask, but still have the issue. The group just will not go away? This is using Outlook 2010.

Hi Jason!
Try to invalidate yout ribbon.
Set to your control visibility state and then invalidate a ribbon.
Something like that:


AladTP.rbTask.Controls.Items[1].AsRibbonGroup.visible := bShow;
AladTP.rbTask.Invalidate;

Thank you, Ruslan.

Hi Jason,

No Invalidate is used in http://www.add-in-express.com/files/support/ShowHideBuiltinRibbonGroup.zip.
