Hi,
I have a problem since I have installed the latest version of Add-in Express (8.6.4408) : it is impossible to add a ribbon item to a ribbon gallery. When I try to do it I always have this error message : "The control is already added to another collection. Name of the parameter : control". I tried to create a new project with just a ribbon gallery with a single ribbon item inside it but it is impossible, I still have the same error message. Is it a bug in this new version of Add-in Express ?

Thanks.

Hello Arthur,

I reproduce the issue on my machine. Yes, this is a bug in the code of Add-in Express. We will fix it in the next Add-in Express build.

A workaround would be to use the following code (say, in the add-in module's constructor, right after the InitializeComponent is called): 

this.adxRibbonItem1 = new AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbonItem(this.components);
this.adxRibbonGallery1.Items.Add(this.adxRibbonItem1);
// 
// adxRibbonItem1
// 
this.adxRibbonItem1.Caption = "adxRibbonItem1";
this.adxRibbonItem1.Id = your ID here;
this.adxRibbonItem1.ImageTransparentColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;

I created the UI by code as you did and it worked.
Thank you Andrei.
