Layout Control in JFlowRibbonBand

[MichaelWDenney]

To group some controls by functionality, I wish to use CommandStripProjections. That means the band needs to be a JFlowRibbonBand. But, in this particular case, the automatic two/three row layout of a JFlowRibbonBand is making for a cluttered interface:

Is there any way of controlling or overriding the layout? I really just want a simple horizontal layout.

Is CoreRibbonResizePolicies.FlowOneRow not a good fit for this case?

[MichaelWDenney]

No, I'd say that is exactly what I needed. Just didn't see it. Thanks. Is there documentation on all the various policies (beyond the method headers, I mean)?

By the way, is this a bug? Using the CommandButtonPresentationState.BIG as I was, when the two row layout switches to a three row layout I am getting control overlap:

The big icons just don't fit so that is kind of expected, but I thought they might auto-shrink along with the layout change.

The resize policies are documented at https://github.com/kirill-grouchnikov/radiance/blob/sunshine/docs/component/RibbonResizing.md#resize-policy and I just added the FlowOneRow in there.

As for the command button presentation state, in this particular case your code is responsible for configuring the flow ribbon band content in a way that does not break between 1, 2 and 3 rows. So it would be a combination of presentation states you set on your button projections and what resize policies you configure on that flow ribbon band. Trying to do a fully adaptive layout down to that level in Radiance is going to be a lot of corner cases, and it will highly likely to be easily broken.

Understood. I just wanted to avoid doing my own configuration only to discover later it could have all been handled by Radiance.

Thanks for the link and the update.
