How to select RibbonButton

[David]

Hi !

I want to select a ribbonbutton via server side, is it possible? I did not see any property to make a button selection, only the tabs, and that i'm not being able to make it work.

      var selectedButtonCookie = Request.Cookies.Get("selectedButton");
            if (selectedButtonCookie != null)
            {
                var button = ribbonBar.FindButtonByValue(selectedButtonCookie.Value);

                if (button != null)
                {
                    ribbonBar.SelectedTabIndex = button.ParentWebControl.TabIndex;
                }
            }

Thanks in advance

Hello David,

You can use the FindButtonByValue property in order to get the needed button from the RadRibbonBar control. However, I am not quite sure what you mean by trying to select a button. Can you please clarify on that?

Hi Kate,

I basically just want to highlight the last clicked button and select the tab belonging to that button.

Hello David,

You can easily set the desired button as clicked by using the CssClass property of the button and set the desired css class. You can try out the code example below and check if this helps:

RadRibbonBar1.FindButtonByValue("ButtonValue").CssClass = "rrbButtonClicked";
