hi,

thank you for your reply.

i have created the properties for selecteditem and event handler for selectionchanged as shown. But the issue is comboeditortool.selecteditem is always null. Can you please let me know the issue in the following code?

public class XamComboEditorTool : RibbonTool
    {
        private XamComboEditorToolControl _control;

        public XamComboEditorToolControl Control
        {
            get { return _control; }
            set { _control = value; }
        }

        private void UpdateBindings()
        {
            if (this._control != null)
            {
                this._control.OnApplyTemplate();
            }
        }

        protected override RibbonToolBaseControl ResolveToolControl()
        {
            XamComboEditorToolControl control = new XamComboEditorToolControl(this);
            if (this._control == null)
            {
                this._control = control;
            }
            return control;
        }

        public IEnumerable ItemsSource
        {
            get { return (IEnumerable)GetValue(ItemsSourceProperty); }
            set
            {
                SetValue(ItemsSourceProperty, value);
                this.UpdateBindings();
            }
        }

        public static readonly DependencyProperty ItemsSourceProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("ItemsSource", typeof(IEnumerable),
            typeof(XamComboEditorTool), null);

        public String DisplayMemberPath { get; set; }

        public object SelectedItem
        {
            get { return (object)GetValue(SelectedItemProperty); }
            set
            {
                SetValue(SelectedItemProperty, value);
                this.UpdateBindings();
            }
        }

        public static readonly DependencyProperty SelectedItemProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("SelectedItem", typeof(object), typeof(XamComboEditorTool),
             new PropertyMetadata(null));

        public event EventHandler SelectionChanged;

        public void SelectionChangedEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (SelectionChanged != null) SelectionChanged(sender, e);
        }
    }

    public class XamComboEditorToolControl : RibbonToolBaseControl, IRibbonControl
    {
        private XamComboEditor _combo;

        public XamComboEditor Combo
        {
            get { return _combo; }
            set { _combo = value; }
        }

        public XamComboEditorToolControl()
        {
            this.DefaultStyleKey = typeof(XamComboEditorToolControl);
        }

        public XamComboEditorToolControl(RibbonToolBase tool)
            : base(tool)
        {
            this.DefaultStyleKey = typeof(XamComboEditorToolControl);
        }

        public override void OnApplyTemplate()
        {
            base.OnApplyTemplate();
            this._combo = GetTemplateChild("XamComboEditor") as XamComboEditor;
            if (this._combo != null)
            {
                this._combo.ItemsSource = ((XamComboEditorTool)this.Tool).ItemsSource;
                this._combo.DisplayMemberPath = ((XamComboEditorTool)this.Tool).DisplayMemberPath;
                this._combo.SelectionChanged += new EventHandler(((XamComboEditorTool)this.Tool).SelectionChangedEventHandler);
                this._combo.SelectedItem = ((XamComboEditorTool)this.Tool).SelectedItem;
            }
        }           
        
    }

Hello,

I am just checking if you require any further assistance on the matter.

hi,

i have few more issues with xamcomboeditortool.

XamComboEditorTool doesnot rebind with the new itemsource(after switching tabs).

Also, VerticalRibbonToolContainer doesnot work as expected with XamComboEditorTool. Following code is supposed to have

buttons in horizontal alignment 

combobox and buttons in vertical aligment.

<ig:VerticalRibbonToolContainer>

<local:XamComboEditorTool Id="Combo" Width="75" Height="10" AllowMultipleSelection="False" CheckBoxVisibility="Collapsed"></local:XamComboEditorTool>

<ig:HorizontalRibbonToolContainer>

<ig:ButtonTool x:Name="Btn1" Caption="Site"></ig:ButtonTool>

<ig:ButtonTool x:Name="Btn2" Caption="Sector"></ig:ButtonTool>

<ig:ButtonTool x:Name="Btn3" Caption="Carrier"></ig:ButtonTool>

<ig:ButtonTool x:Name="Btn4" Caption="Grid"></ig:ButtonTool>

</ig:HorizontalRibbonToolContainer>

</ig:VerticalRibbonToolContainer>

 please let me know if i am missing something?

thanks.

hi,

i think buttongroup allows only allows images by default for a button. but i just need text for the button.Tools don't have any images. please check the following code.

tools are expected to be arranged in the following manner.

TabITem3 - Buttons stacked horizontally below the combobox.

TabItem4 - Two ComboBoxes stacked horizontally below the first combobox.

 <ig:XamRibbonTabItem Header="TabItem3" x:Name="TabItem3"  MouseLeftButtonUp="TabItem3_MouseLeftButtonUp">
                    <ig:XamRibbonGroup Caption="TabItem3Group3">
                        <ig:VerticalRibbonToolContainer>
                            <local:XamComboEditorTool MaximumSize="ImageAndTextNormal" Id="TabItem3Group3Combo" Width="75" Height="10" AllowMultipleSelection="False" CheckBoxVisibility="Collapsed"></local:XamComboEditorTool>
                            <ig:HorizontalRibbonToolContainer>
                                <ig:ButtonTool MaximumSize="ImageAndTextNormal" x:Name="Btn1" Caption="Site"></ig:ButtonTool>
                                <ig:ButtonTool MaximumSize="ImageAndTextNormal" x:Name="Btn2" Caption="Sector"></ig:ButtonTool>
                                <ig:ButtonTool MaximumSize="ImageAndTextNormal" x:Name="Btn3" Caption="Carrier"></ig:ButtonTool>
                                <ig:ButtonTool MaximumSize="ImageAndTextNormal" x:Name="Btn4" Caption="Grid"></ig:ButtonTool>
                            </ig:HorizontalRibbonToolContainer>
                        </ig:VerticalRibbonToolContainer>
                    </ig:XamRibbonGroup>                  
                </ig:XamRibbonTabItem>
                <ig:XamRibbonTabItem Header="TabItem4" x:Name="TabItem4" MouseLeftButtonUp="TabItem4_MouseLeftButtonUp">
                    <ig:XamRibbonGroup Caption="TabItem4Group1">
                        <ig:VerticalRibbonToolContainer>
                            <local:XamComboEditorTool Id="TabItem4Group1Combo1" Width="75" Height="10" AllowMultipleSelection="False" CheckBoxVisibility="Collapsed"  MaximumSize="ImageAndTextNormal" SelectionChanged="TabItem4Group1Combo1_SelectionChanged"></local:XamComboEditorTool>
                            <ig:HorizontalRibbonToolContainer>
                                <local:XamComboEditorTool MaximumSize="ImageAndTextNormal" Id="TabItem4Group1Combo2" Width="150" Height="10" AllowMultipleSelection="True" CheckBoxVisibility="Visible"></local:XamComboEditorTool>
                                <local:XamComboEditorTool MaximumSize="ImageAndTextNormal" Id="TabItem4Group1Combo3" Width="150" Height="10" AllowMultipleSelection="True" CheckBoxVisibility="Visible"></local:XamComboEditorTool>
                            </ig:HorizontalRibbonToolContainer>
                        </ig:VerticalRibbonToolContainer>
                    </ig:XamRibbonGroup>
                </ig:XamRibbonTabItem>

thanks.

Hi,

You could use ButtonGroup for this purpose. See the attached sample for an example.

Please note that there is a known bug with the ButtonGroup inversing the order in which the tools are displayed in the Ribbon Group. If you take a look at the XAML, you'll see that I defined the ComboTool after the ButtonGroup, but it appears above it.

Hope this helps,

hi,

i modified the code to use this property

MaximumSize="ImageAndTextNormal" in TabItem3.

But still controls are not arranged as expected.

this is what i am looking for:

Buttons are supposed to be arranged horizontally below the combobox.  but this is not happening...can you please let me know if i am still missing some thing?

thanks.
