Variants Property

Returns a collection of GroupVariant instances that determines the order/priority in which the group will be resized.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property Variants As Infragistics.Collections.ObservableCollectionExtended(Of GroupVariant)
public Infragistics.Collections.ObservableCollectionExtended<GroupVariant> Variants {get;}
Remarks

By default, the Variants collection is empty for all RibbonGroups. When all RibbonGroups within a RibbonTabItem have no items in their Variants collection, the default resizing logic will be used. When a GroupVariant is added to any of the RibbonGroups within a RibbonTabItem, only those resize actions will be used to resize the groups.

The MaximumSizeProperty and MinimumSizeProperty attached properties are also used in determining how the contents of a RibbonGroup may be resized.

For a discussion of how the Variants are used, please refer to the GroupVariant class.
