Always show the same button on SplitButton

rikard.nilsson — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 12:21:32 GMT

Hi,

I have created some buttons and placed them inside a SplitButton.

The problem I have is that I want have the same effect that Revit has in thier buttons.

I want to show the same button always even if I choose one below in a SplitButton.

When I choose a button below in mySplitButton that always will be the new default that shows on the SplitButton.

Regards

Rikard

Dear Rikard,

Thank you for your nice query.

Yes. That is in fact very easy to achieve.

I show you how in my HoloLens Escape Path Waypoint JSON Exporter:

https://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2016/09/hololens-escape-path-waypoint-json-exporter.html

The add-in displays the following ribbon panel:

ExportWaypointsJson ribbon panel

You can either click the main button, which is always displayed at the top as the current option, to trigger the main command, or drop down the rest of the stacked button contents to display the option button:

ExportWaypointsJson main command and settings buttons

You can grab the entire Visual Studio solution and project from the ExportWaypointsJson GitHub repository:

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Jeremy

This was my simple solution..

splitButtonClearLoads.IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem = false;
