Show current selected item for RibbonBarMenu

[Ioish]

Hi,


I have searched through the API, the demos and the forum, but I have found no

way at all to let a RibbonBarMenu object show it's current selected item (like a

standard DropDownList would do). I'm using a menu like this in the

QuickAccess menu and need to show the current selected item (at least the

text) either on the menu itself or on a label. Is there any way to

accomplish this?

I guess that the following thread is almost the same, except that it's about the ribbonbartogglelist:

Thanks!

I used a RibbonBarButton to acheive the desired effect, however I would like that the QuickAccess item of this button shows the text of the item select instead of just the icon. Is this possible?

Hi Ioish,

To show the selected item's text and image on the menu, add the following function to the OnClientMenuClicked event of the RadRibbonbar:

function onClientMenuItemClicked(sender, args){
    var item = args.get_item();
    var menu = item.get_owner();
    menu.set_text(item.get_text());
    menu.set_image(item.get_imageUrl());
}

The quick access items render img tags, so it's not possible to show the text of the selected item without manipulating the DOM tree.
