Start Menu Events

[seedy]

Are there any events that can be handled for the start menu (Opening, Closing, ect) ?

[Jack]

Hello Corey Downie,

Yes the RibbonBar Start Menu has such events. To access the start menu in RibbonBar use this property:

RadRibbonBar.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement

and the corresponding events are:

DropDownOpening
DropDownOpened
DropDownClosed

I can see that that property exists, but I cant get to it:

Error  'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadRibbonBarElement.Protected ReadOnly Property ApplicationButtonElement() As Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadDropDownButtonElement' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Protected'.

We apologize for this misunderstanding, Corey. Yes, right now there is no way to access the ApplicationButtonElement property. We will fix this issue in our next service pack. I suggest you to use the following workaround:

Dim buttonElement As RadDropDownButtonElement = CType(radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.Children(2),RadDropDownButtonElement)
