Hide the StackedItems on a RibbonPanel

Hi, is it possible to hide only the StackedItems created on a RibbonPanel? Been trying to do this for a while now but could not find any workaround.

So, there is no StackedItems class in the RevitAPI that allows setting the whole stack visibility to false as we do with all the other ribbon "containers". AddStackedItems is only a RibbonPanel function that does not return a custom RevitAPI object, and it only works with 2 or 3 RibbonButtons. Thus trying to change the visibility of the buttons under a stack won`t work and will only render the buttons unavailable (enabled=false?). My sense is that changing visibility of the buttons one by one, conflicts with the rule of having 2 or 3 visible at any given time.

Tried applying all the modifiers under Autodesk.Windows.RibbonItem and Autodesk.Revit.UI.RibbonItem for the buttons in the stack, but with no success.

I would really enjoy finding a solution for this, as creating RevitAPI workarounds has become an undesired full time job, and this is the one that always gets away.

Thank you,

Alexander

Dear Alexander,

Sorry, I am not aware of any official support for that functionality in the Revit API.

Cheers

The stackageItems is Autodesk.Windows.RibbonRowPanel added in the RibbonPanel.

So if you select the last item added in Autodesk.Windows.RibbonPanel after using AddStackedItems should result in Autodesk.Windows.RibbonRowPanel with the stackageItems.

And you could hide the whole Autodesk.Windows.RibbonRowPanel, I don't know if that helps.

Retrieving the last added element as Autodesk.Windows.RibbonRowPanel works for managing the StackedItems and hiding them.

Thank you very much!
