I'm designing a ribbon in Visual Studio 2010 and I have reached a problem, that I really don't get.

As the title says, how do I change the size of a group? There are no visual way to change the default size and it seems to auto-size when being used instead.

My main problem is that I want to position the button labeled "test" to the right of the edit box, but they keep on getting on top of eachother.

Sorry but you cannot manually change the size of Ribbon groups, ribbons groups will always adjust to a specific size based on content inside them, this is outlined in the Ribbon guidelines document by Microsoft which you can view here.

If you want that button to appear on the right side of the group then you will have to populate the groups with either 1 large button or 3 small buttons before it will let you onto the right side of the group container.
