The following members return BarButtonGroup objects:
Bar items and/or bar item links can be combined into a BarButtonGroup. These elements are displayed as a whole within a RibbonControl. Individual items never wrap when a Ribbon control is resized. For items within a BarButtonGroup, large images (BarItem.LargeGlyph) are not supported. Adjacent button groups are arranged within a Ribbon Control in a different way than regular bar items. They are arranged across then down, wrapping automatically to fill the available space optimally, without gaps.
To add elements to a button group, use the BarButtonGroup.Items collection.
<dxr:BarButtonGroup>
<dxb:BarButtonItem Content="Bold" Glyph="{dx:DXImage Image=Bold_16x16.png}"/>
<dxb:BarButtonItem Content="Italic" Glyph="{dx:DXImage Image=Italic_16x16.png}"/>
<dxb:BarButtonItem Content="Underline" Glyph="{dx:DXImage Image=Underline_16x16.png}"/>
</dxr:BarButtonGroup>
Bar button groups can only be displayed within a Ribbon Control.
This example shows how to define a BarButtonGroup in XAML.
A BarButtonGroup, residing in a Format page group, combines three check buttons (Bold, Italic and Underline).
