                                  • First of all, thanks for all your help so far.

                                    Usually I would simply go for some tests but due to some major changes and many new features I've never heard of, I decided to ask a bit here to find out a bit more about your controls.

                                    I have a RibbonForm (main form) which already have a AlertControl to display messages from all other modules and forms to the user in a more user-friendly way. I'm using an interface for that.

                                    This RibbonForm also has a DocumentManager to handle mdi children as tabs and enable docking and all.

                                    We recently received a request to display a fixed message as long as the user remains the same or some properties change on the main form.
                                    This message must be shown right bellow the ribbon and above MdiChildren.

                                    Any other DX control that might help me here?
                                    I've tried both UserControl and PanelControl and they work but they are just not that good to perform this...

                                Hi Anderson,

                                Thank you for your message.

                                If you wish to display some additional information always, I recommend that you use RibbonStatusBar. This bar is specially intended to show status information. By default, this control is displayed at the bottom. If you wish, you can change its position via the RibbonStatusBar.Dock property.

                                Please clarify whether or not this solution meets your requirements.

                                Thanks,
                                Svetlana

                                Yes! Yes!
                                Lol.

                                Thanks, really.
                                I didn't know that I could place the StatusBar on that position nor that I could use more than one RibbonStatusBar.

                                It's working and looks awesome.

                                Thanks =)
