SplitButton Apply Change Selected?

[Tiffany_Hayden_]

When a change is selected in a split button, is there a way to change or modify the main control to show which one was selected? For example, if I choose Option 1 as the option is there a way to change Model to something like Model Option 1 or somehow show the option that was selected? I am just curious on how to show the user what has been selected. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or if there is a better option let me know! 

Dim secondPanel As RibbonPanel = newStandardRibbonTab.RibbonPanels.Add("Highlight Filter", "id_xSecondPanel_" & targetRibbon.InternalName, g_addInClientID)
Dim oDefs As ObjectCollection
oDefs = g_inventorApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection
oDefs.Add(m_Option1)
oDefs.Add(m_Option2)

secondPanel.CommandControls.AddSplitButton(m_TestDropdown, oDefs, True)

I want it to work like this.

I think you want the AddButtonPopup or AddSplitButtonMRU methods. 

In looking closer the button you referenced seems to be a ButtonPopup ( the SplitButtonMRU behaves slightly different).

I have an example of SplitButtonMRU ( most recently used) , PopUp and ButtonPopup in one of the templates I provided from the AU class I presented last fall.

See link for example pics and a link to the download files

• The one with the 1,2,3 buttons is a TogglePopup button and uses a separate image as the main button.
• The one with paint brushes is a ButtonPopup and presents the list each time its clicked, and shows the last command used.
• The one with the camel is the SplitButtonMRU and runs the last used command automatically when the button is clicked, and only shows the list if the list arrow is clicked specifically.

Hope that helps,

@Curtis_Waguespack thanks so much. I will check it out. I looked at your class last week and I must have missed it. Thanks for the swift response! I'll look at it in the morning!

The AddButtonPopup was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much! @Curtis_Waguespack 

Dim secondPanel As RibbonPanel = newStandardRibbonTab.RibbonPanels.Add("Highlight Filter", "id_xSecondPanel_" & targetRibbon.InternalName, g_addInClientID)
Dim oDefs As ObjectCollection
oDefs = g_inventorApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection
oDefs.Add(m_68)
oDefs.Add(m_128)

secondPanel.CommandControls.AddButtonPopup(oDefs, False)
