Getting duplicate Dropdown Pop-up when ribbon is collapsed

Anonymous — Sun, 28 Feb 2021 11:22:35 GMT

I am working on creating custom ribbon tab in AutoCAD ribbon.

I am creating ribbon using RibbonCompositeItem and RibbonPanelSource classes.

I am using xaml file to add custom ribbon, which has dropdown with wpf popup element.

When the ribbon is not collapsed, dropdown popup is coming once when opened, and working fine.

But when window size is decreased, and ribbon is collapsed, then I am getting duplicate popup.

Please help, how can I resolve this.

I am using button click to open popup.

Thank you.

You can see in the above image, "Deliverable" panel is collapsed, when I click on "2D" dropdown, I am getting duplicate popups.

And when the "Deliverable" panel is not collapsed, it works file, and I get single popup only.

"deliverable" is the only panel doing this, no other panel (especially the core panels that are default to the program) do this?

Post a screenshot of your ABOUT command too please.

Core panel like "URL Options" is working fine.

I am getting issues only with all the custom panel's dropdowns.

If it only happens with custom panels, and no other panels, it might be related to just these add-ons: are they loaded from separate CUIx files, or are you adding them to the core CUIx file?
Are you all running Enterprise CUIx files?

FWIW you are missing the 2021.1 update, get it installed sometime soon.

I am using WPF xaml files for these custom panel.

I am adding them using classes RibbonCompositeItem, FrameworkElementFactory, DataTemplate, and RibbonPanelSource.

I am passing .xaml file as DataContext.

FrameworkElementFactory ChooseControl = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeControl);

ChooseControl.SetValue(System.Windows.Controls.UserControl.DataContextProperty, DataContext);

It works fine when the main panel is not collapsed.

Yes, I will get AUtoCAD updated soon. Thank you.

That may be where you are creating the duplication with that method, sorry that will be hard for many to test over here, not many other users do it that way.

Okay, thank you.

I had question like why It work fine when panel is not collapsed, why duplicates for collapsed panel.

And it is working fine in BricsCAD in both ways (expand, and collapse).

>>>... it is working fine in BricsCAD in both ways (expand, and collapse)...<<<
I'm sure a lot f things work just fine in other programs, but that does not matter really.

I am still trying to figure out how to resolve this issue.

If you can suggest something, that would be great.

Or what is the best way to add custom panels (designed using xaml) in AutoCAD.

Thank you.
