Events generated from RadMenuComboItem

[James Bonnyman]

Hi!

I am having what I believe should be a simple problem but which I cannot seem to solve!

I have a menu bar onto which I have placed a number of buttons and a RadMenuComboItem the items for which I populate in code via an array list as below (clsDropDown is simply a method to assign the display and value members as Longname and ID respectively).

List.Add(New clsDropdownList("Items Awaiting Collection", 1))
        aList.Add(New clsDropdownList("Items Part Collected", 2))
        aList.Add(New clsDropdownList("Items Collected", 3))
        aList.Add(New clsDropdownList("All Items", 0))


        rddlCollectionStatus.ComboBoxElement.DataSource = aList
        rddlCollectionStatus.ComboBoxElement.DisplayMember = "Longname" ' The combo class always uses 'Longname' for the dropdown text  
        rddlCollectionStatus.ComboBoxElement.ValueMember = "ID"         ' The combo class always uses ID for the dropdown key value 
        rddlCollectionStatus.ComboBoxElement.SelectedIndex = 0

        rddlCollectionStatus.Enabled = True

Within code I can retrieve the ID of the currently selected item and use this to filter following the press of a button from the menu bar, what I cannot do is find an event that fires when the combo box selection changes (I would have expected rddlCollectionStatus_Click or an equivalent to fire but none are seeming to do so).

If anyone can provide a pointer to this it would be much appreciated as it is a little 'clunky' to have to once made the selection on what to filter on to then have to press a button to apply this selection.

Many thanks,

James

Hello James,

You just need to add an Event Handler to capture the SelectedIndexChanged event on the ComboBoxElement. For exmaple

AddHandler Me.RadMenuComboItem1.ComboBoxElement.SelectedValueChanged, AddressOf RadMenuCombo_SelectedValueChanged

Private Sub RadMenuCombo_SelectedValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    MessageBox.Show(Me.RadMenuComboItem1.ComboBoxElement.SelectedValue.ToString())
End Sub

Hope that helps, but let me know if you need more information
