Hello,
I'm trying to create a button in the ribbon that acts like the views or the insert button in AutoCAD.
The button should look and feel like the insert button, and the dropdown list should act like a list as in the views.
Any help to get started? I've started to play around with the RibbonListButton but I'm struggling.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I can get the large button to work with the following code:
var galleryButton = new RibbonGallery();
galleryButton.Id = "testcombo";
galleryButton.Name = "Views";
galleryButton.DisplayMode = GalleryDisplayMode.LargeButton;
galleryButton.Text = "Views";
galleryButton.LargeImage = (ImageSource)Theme.Instance.ActiveResourceDictionary["SimulateImage"];
galleryButton.Image = (ImageSource)Theme.Instance.ActiveResourceDictionary["SimulateScenariosImage"];
rowPanel.Items.Add(galleryButton);
var buttonGallery = new RibbonButton()
{
Name = "Button2",
Text = "My Button2",
Id = "ID_Button2",
ShowText = true,
ShowImage = false,
Size = RibbonItemSize.Standard,
Orientation = System.Windows.Controls.Orientation.Horizontal
};
galleryButton.Items.Add(buttonGallery);
buttonGallery = new RibbonButton()
{
Name = "Button3",
Text = "My Button3",
Id = "ID_Button3",
ShowText = true,
ShowImage = false,
Size = RibbonItemSize.Standard,
Orientation = System.Windows.Controls.Orientation.Horizontal
};
galleryButton.Items.Add(buttonGallery);
//add menu buttons
RibbonButton button1 = new RibbonButton();
button1.Name = "MyButton";
button1.Text = "My Button";
button1.Id = "MyButtonId";
galleryButton.MenuItems.Add(button1);
RibbonButton button2 = new RibbonButton();
button2.Name = "MyOtherButton";
button2.Text = "My Other Button";
button2.Id = "MyOtherButtonId";
galleryButton.MenuItems.Add(button2);
However, the gallery items is still the large icon and text. I'm trying to figure out how to be a single row like the Views in the first picture I posted.
Second, I would like to use a small button dropdown instead of the large one. When I change the DisplayMode on the RibbonGallery, this is what I get:
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
