Start Menu Right Column

[UIdev]

Hi,

Is there any way for the items in the start menu's right column to be updated/changed upon focus of a RadItem in the left column?  I'm trying to acheive the same effect as in Office, but I'm not sure if this is possible/how to do it.

Thanks very much,

UIdev

Hi UIdev,

Thank you for this question.

Yes, it is possible to change or update the items on the right side of the RadRibbonBar's start menu through code. You must add your menu items dynamically to the StartMenuRightColumnItems collection of the RadRibbonBar. I have attached a sample application demonstrating this behavior.

In case you have other questions, feel free to write us again.

Jack,

Thanks for the solution!  It's exactly what I was looking for.  As a quick follow-up, how would you do this in VB.NET?  I tried converting the C# code, but it would not stop giving me trouble.

Thanks,

UIdev

Hi Pierre,

Thank you for writing.

To answer your questions:

1. Select the RadRibbonBar in design-time and set its StartMenuWidth property to 0. This way the width of the start menu will be calculated automatically.
2. Select the RadRibbonBar in design-time and choose events in the property gird. Expand OptionsButton field and double click in the value of its Click event to automatically generate event handler.

If you have further questions don't hesitate to write us again.

Hi Pierre,

Thanks for getting back to us.

I cannot reproduce this behavior. Could you please send me a demo project that reproduces the flickering behavior you're describing. It will help us address any potential issue faster.
