CUI Combobox

[waseefur.rahman]

Hi all,

I have been Trying to Create a CUI Combobox, through .net and if User Select any Item in Combobox, then I should call my sub to do some operations,
I have created a CUI Combobox through Partial Customization file , but I don't know how to add my own item in that combobox and if any item is selected then I need to call my sub, also I have attached a image,
can anyone guide me how to achieve it.

Thanks in Advance...

Hi,

The layercontrol in the image is a ToolbarControl added to CUI Toolbar, these are predefined controls you can only add them to a toolbar.

I don't think you can edit the control.

Can you please let me know what is your objective ? 

like layercontrol, you can create new ToolbarControl based on control types.

public enum ControlType
   {
       LayerControl = 1,
       LineTypeControl = 2,
       OPTColorControl = 3,
       LineWeightControl = 4,
       RefblknameControl = 5,
       ArrayEditNameControl = 6,
       ViewportScaleControl = 7,
       ViewControl = 8,
       PlotStyleControl = 9,
       UCSControl = 10,
       DimStyleControl = 11,
       UndoSkinnyButtonControl = 12,
       RedoSkinnyButtonControl = 13,
       TxtStyleControl = 14,
       TblStyleControl = 15,
       NamedViewControl = 16,
       WorkspacesControl = 17,
       MldStyleControl = 18,
       FindTextControl = 19,

Hi Madhukar,

I don't want to edit layertype Combobox, or even i don't need any predefined Combobox,
just for example I have shown that in image.

I want to create a New Combobox in toolbar, in that Combobox items will be added from the database & 
if user select any item, I want to run my sub.

Thanks

Hi, 

At the moment API facilitate only to create ToolbarControl of predefined type.

Sorry about that 😞

Hi,

just a try. Maybe it works.

Please insert following references first: AcWindows.dll, AdWindows.dll and following using.

using Autodesk.Windows;

RibbonCombo m_RibbonCombo = new RibbonCombo();


m_RibbonCombo.Items.Add(new object());
m_RibbonCombo.CurrentChanged += M_RibbonCombo_CurrentChanged;

The object can be any object for example a Person. One Point is important: Override the method ToString() with that what you want to see in the Combobox.

Handle the CurrentChanged evant like this:

Version:1.0 StartHTML:00000138 EndHTML:00000901 StartFragment:00000242 EndFragment:00000869 StartSelection:00000242 EndSelection:00000869Snippet

private static void M_RibbonCombo_CurrentChanged(object sender, RibbonPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
    object m_Object = (object)e.NewValue;
 
}

I hope it works, but I'm not sure.

Regards Jürgen

Hi,

Please note RibbonCombo is not a CUI control it is a Windows Ribbon Runtime control, these UI changes are not persistent. Pl go through 

http://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2012/07/modify-ribbon.html

If you want Ribbon Combo Control on Ribbon Bar instead of Ribbon Toolbar, may be this should achieve your objective.

Hi Madhukar,

I have downloaded the samples solution from the link you provided for creating Ribbion,
but getting error, attached a snap, could you please guide.

Thanks

Hi,

You need to migrate to latest and use .NET framework 4.6, and also refer AcCoreMgd.dll

I have attached migrated sample targetting .NET 4.6 and AutoCAD 2018.

Please let me know if any further queries.
