I have a Combobox tool on a tab in my Ribbon and I am wondering how I can fill it from a MS access datasource?
Second question can this be a two collumns valuelist and can the keyvalue collumn be hidden.
this in VB.Net
Hi,
You could do this using a BindableValueList. What you do is create the BindableValueList in code and then assign it to the ValueList property of the ComboBoxTool.
Dim dt As DataTable = New DataTable dt.Columns.Add("Key", GetType(Integer)) dt.Columns.Add("Text", GetType(String)) Dim dr As DataRow = dt.Rows.Add() dr("Key") = 0 dr("Text") = "Apple" dr = dt.Rows.Add() dr("Key") = 1 dr("Text") = "Banana" dr = dt.Rows.Add() dr("Key") = 2 dr("Text") = "Cherry" dt.AcceptChanges() Dim vl As BindableValueList = New BindableValueList() vl.DataSource = dt vl.ValueMember = "Key" vl.DisplayMember = "Text" vl.BindingContextControl = Me Dim myComboBoxTool As ComboBoxTool = DirectCast(Me.UltraToolbarsManager1.Tools("ComboBoxTool1"), ComboBoxTool) myComboBoxTool.ValueList = vl
Thanks Mike,

Hi Ronny,
Cast the tool into a ComboBoxTool (just as I did in my sample code) and then user the properties on that tool like Value, SelectedItem, or SelectedIndex. Just as you would for any ComboBox.

I do not understand your question. There appear to be some words missing from your last sentence.
I mean,: I'm trying to get value or index of Item in Combobox Tool on ribbon Tool Bar to compare. :).
Sorry about inconvenient,
Thanks
So what you would do is get the tool from the ToolbarsManager and cast it into a ComboBocTool. Then check the Value property.
ComboBoxTool comboBoxTool = (ComboBoxTool)this.UltraToolbarsManager1.Tools["My Combobox Tool"];
Debug.Writeline(comboBoxTool.Value);
