Hey,

I recently implemented the Radsplitbutton but it gives an error whenever I open it a second time. Here's the code I used:

    
             <telerik:RadSplitButton  
        
                            x:Name="newButton" 
        
                            IsToggle="True" 
        
                            Width="120" 
        
                            Click="newButton_Click" 
        
                            controls:DockPanel.Dock="Left" 
        
                            HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
        
                            Height="30" 
        
                            > 
        
                            <telerik:RadSplitButton.Content> 
        
                                <StackPanel 
        
                                    Orientation="Horizontal"> 
        
                                    <Image 
        
                                        HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
        
                                        Source="/Resources;component/Images/Default/contactperson_24.png" Width="20" /> 
        
                                    <TextBlock 
        
                                        Text="{Binding button_new_relation, Source={StaticResource resxString}, Mode=OneWay}" 
        
                                        HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
        
                            /> 
        
                                </StackPanel> 
        
                            </telerik:RadSplitButton.Content> 
        
                                <telerik:RadSplitButton.DropDownContent> 
        
                                    <telerikNavigation:RadContextMenu BorderThickness="0" ItemClick="RadContextMenu_ItemClick"> 
        
                                        <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem 
        
                                                Header="{Binding button_new_contact_person, Source={StaticResource resxString}, Mode=OneWay}" Tag="CONTACTPERSON" > 
        
                                            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon> 
        
                                                <Image Stretch="None" Source="/Resources;component/Images/Default/contactperson_24.png"/> 
        
                                            </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon> 
        
                                        </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem> 
        
                                        <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem 
        
                                                Header="{Binding button_new_contact_company, Source={StaticResource resxString}, Mode=OneWay}" Tag="CONTACTCOMPANY" > 
        
                                            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon> 
        
                                                <Image Stretch="None" Source="/Resources;component/Images/Default  /contactcompany_24.png"/> 
        
                                            </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon> 
        
                                        </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem> 
        
                                    </telerikNavigation:RadContextMenu> 
        
                                </telerik:RadSplitButton.DropDownContent> 
        
                            </telerik:RadSplitButton>

Relatively straightforward. 2 items in the context menu that consist of a picture and text and it's all defined in the xaml, nothing bound except the resource strings.Does anyone know why this is happening? The error is as following:

Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Ronald,

Thank you for contacting us.

Let me explain a bit deeper about the RadContextMenu.

This control is especially designed to be opened via an attached property. Because of this it should not be used as a content of a control.

However this control looks pretty silky and sometimes we are working around the above statement. But this is a bit tricky approach - even we can get a nice looking menu, it will be a half-functioning one - for example we should sacrifice sub-menus. Please note our example follows strictly this workaround.

Finally. If you still would like to use a button with RadContextMenu please follow the instructions in the A DropDown Button with RadContextMenu article. For your convenience we will place a ready for use code here:

Copy Code

<telerik:RadToggleButton

Content="Click me ▼"

IsChecked="{Binding IsOpen, ElementName=context, Mode=TwoWay}">

<telerikNavigation:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

<telerikNavigation:RadContextMenu

x:Name="context" Placement="Bottom">

<telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Item 1">

<telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Item A" />

<telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Item B" />

</telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>

<telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Item 2" />

<telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Item 3" />

</telerikNavigation:RadContextMenu>

</telerikNavigation:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

</telerik:RadToggleButton>

We hope this information will help you.

Sincerely yours,
Ivan

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I understand what you're getting at, however I would not like to use the dropdown button, I'd prefer to use the splitbutton. I used the code as displayed here: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#Buttons/SplitButton.
As you can see there in the example it's the same approach as I used, a split button with a context menu as it's content. I tried adding the context menu as an attached property like you said but I get the error that the content can only be set once, which makes sense I guess.
I'll have another look at the example as explained in the demo, maybe I did something wrong, but the one you gave me is not for the control I want.

Hopefully there is another way of doing this with the splitbutton?

Hi Ronald,

Indeed we can use the RadMenu as a drop-down content. Just replace the RadContextMenu with the code below (please note the Orientation is initialized to Vertical):

<telerikNavigation:RadMenu Orientation="Vertical">

<telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem ...

However now the drop down content will look not so silky and you should apply a custom style (to the RadMenu) in order to change this. Other approach is to use a set of RadButtons - for example a stack panel with some buttons inside.

Please try the variants above and let us know if we can help you.

All the best,

Hi Ivan,

I see what you mean now. However I regret to inform you that after changing the context menu to a normal radmenu the error still occurs.
The error is as following:
"Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component."

It happens whenever I open the dropdown menu for the RadSplitButton a second time.

Here is the code I'm using now, as per your example:

    
            <telerik:RadSplitButton.Content> 
        
                            <StackPanel 
        
                            Orientation="Vertical"> 
        
                                <Image 
        
                                Source="/VenumBvVenumInfraResources;component/Images/Default/assignment_24.png" Width="20" /> 
        
                                <TextBlock 
        
                                Text="{Binding Resource.button_new}" 
        
                                /> 
        
                            </StackPanel> 
        
                        </telerik:RadSplitButton.Content> 
        
                        <telerik:RadSplitButton.DropDownContent> 
        
                            <telerikNavigation:RadMenu Orientation="Vertical"> 
        
                                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem 
        
                                                Header="{Binding Resource.button_new_assignment}" Tag="ASSIGNMENT" > 
        
                                    <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon> 
        
                                        <Image Stretch="None" Source="/VenumBvVenumInfraResources;component/Images/Default/assignment_24.png"/> 
        
                                    </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon> 
        
                                </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem> 
        
                                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="True" /> 
        
                                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem 
        
                                                Header="{Binding Resource.button_new_agendaitem}" Tag="AGENDA"  > 
        
                                    <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon> 
        
                                        <Image Stretch="None" Source="/VenumBvVenumInfraResources;component/Images/Default/scheduler_24.png"/> 
        
                                    </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon> 
        
                                </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem> 
        
                               </telerik:RadSplitButton.DropDownContent> 
        
                    </telerik:RadSplitButton>

I assume there is something going wrong with the RadSplitButton itself, or perhaps the menu items which are identical in both the RadMenu and the RadContextMenu. It happens when I click the arrow in the RadSplitButton though.

I hope you can recreate the bug.
