  Greetings - I'm using the RadRibbonGallery in extended selection mode.  When the gallery popup is displayed, and you select an item, the gallery closes.  Is there a way I can prevent this, to allow the user to select multiple items in the gallery popup? 
  
  I realize this isn't exactly in line with the Office / Ribbon interface guidelines, but it would be nice for a particular situation I'm dealing with.
  
  Thanks for any help.

  Hi Steven,

  Have you considered using the RadGallery in a RadDropDownButton's DropDownContent. The key thing is that you can set the KeepOpen property of the RadRibbonDropDownButton to true.
  You can do for example like so: 

  <telerik:RadRibbonBar x:Name="ribbon" ApplicationButtonType="Office2010">

              <telerik:RadRibbonTab Header="tab 1">

                  <telerik:RadRibbonGroup Header="Group Alpha">

                      <telerik:RadRibbonDropDownButton Content="Gallery" KeepOpen="True">

                          <telerik:RadRibbonDropDownButton.DropDownContent>

                              <telerik:RadGallery SelectionMode="Extended" >

                                  <telerik:RadGalleryItem>

                                      <Rectangle Width="100" Height="10" Fill="DeepSkyBlue" />

                                  </telerik:RadGalleryItem>

                                  <telerik:RadGalleryItem>

                                      <Rectangle Width="100" Height="10" Fill="Blue" />

                                  </telerik:RadGalleryItem>

                                  <telerik:RadGalleryItem>

                                      <Rectangle Width="100" Height="10" Fill="Orange" />

                                  </telerik:RadGalleryItem>

                                  <telerik:RadGalleryItem>

                                      <Rectangle Width="100" Height="10" Fill="Yellow" />

                                  </telerik:RadGalleryItem>

                              </telerik:RadGallery>

                          </telerik:RadRibbonDropDownButton.DropDownContent>

                      </telerik:RadRibbonDropDownButton>                

                  </telerik:RadRibbonGroup>

              </telerik:RadRibbonTab>

          </telerik:RadRibbonBar>

  
  All the best,

  Hello Steven,
  
  Excuse me for using RadGallery instead of the RadRibbonGallery in the example, but it should both ways. Just let us know if this fits in your scenario.
