  I am using a C1FlexViewer in my project. I see that if you use a C1RibbonForm you can place an icon on the FlexViewer and also a caption. Can we do this only with a C1FlexViewer.

  See the examples C:\Users{userid}\Documents\ComponentOne Samples\WinForms\C1Document\VB\SsrsViewer for an example.

  Hello,

  Yes, you can directly add RibbonItems to the Ribbon of C1FlexViewer. Refer the below mentioned blog’s “Add custom button(s):” section for the details:
  
  https://www.grapecity.com/blogs/flexviewer-winforms-customization

  Also refer the attached application for the implementation. It has a button and some Text added to the ribbon QuickAccessToolbar (QAT) as well.
  
  Let me know if you need further assistance.

  Regards,

  This will probably work for me:

          'tweak the Quick Access Toolbar
          Dim rbLogo As RibbonButton = New RibbonButton(My.Resources.Logo)
          rbLogo.ToolTip = "MyAirlines"
          AddHandler rbLogo.Click, AddressOf Open1_Click
          c1FlxViewerMain.Ribbon.Qat.Items.Insert(0, rbLogo)
          Dim rbCaption As RibbonButton = New RibbonButton("Operations Engineering")
          Dim cnt As Integer = c1FlxViewerMain.Ribbon.Qat.Items.Count
          AddHandler rbCaption.Click, AddressOf Open2_Click
          c1FlxViewerMain.Ribbon.Qat.Items.Insert(cnt + 0, rbCaption)

  Hello,

  Thanks for sharing the code snippet that you use.
  
  This is the best possible way to achieve the requirement in the absence of a RibbonForm i.e. by adding items to QAT at the desired location. However, for rbCaption, you can simply use:

  c1FlxViewerMain.Ribbon.Qat.Items.Add(rbCaption)
  
  

  Thanks.
