User(s) can reproduce this bug

The Property in question has the prompt text: "Specifies the number of icons in row." The equivalent xml item is <ICONS_IN_ROW>. At run time, the number of icons appearing is 0 regardless of the Columns setting. Oddly enough, however, occassionally it has worked and obviously works in the RibbonGadgets sample. Hovering over the GalleryButton's combo scroll buttons sometimes shows Row 1-0 of 0 for the middle scroll button and sometimes for the downarrow scroll button, when clicked, shows all the gallery icons. The general behavior is very random.

Visual Studio 2010 SP1

Create a simple MFC default project and check Use Ribbon. Use the Ribbon resource editor to add a Panel and a Gallery Button to the Home panel. From the RibbonGadgets res folder copy Pallette.bmp into the repro project's res folder. Import this resource into the project and use it as the Icons resource property. Set the icon width to 64. Compile and run.

The gallery button icons do not show up. Only a gallery button with no icons plus scroll controls shows up. Hovering over these scroll arrows shows the following tooltips: middle arrow: "Row1 0-0", bottom arrow: "more". Clicking on the "more" displays the whole gallery properly. Changing the Columns property does not affect the runtime display.

The number of gallery icons displayed at runtime should be the number of in the Columns property.

The default six gallery icons can be made to appear by making sure the following Gallery Button Properties settings and tasks are completed:
1) Button Mode: False // this is obvious
2) Columns: 0 // may be set or unset. This currently has no effect.
3) Large Image Index: 3 // must be valid large image index. If not set, the gallery button will show as collapsed
4) Add Handler to the gallery command ID // without this, the ribbon will show 6 icons wide, but blanks instead of icons

Specifying the number of columns using the Columns attribute on the Gallery Button icons still doesn't work, but at least you can get the default icon behavior to function.
