i am trying to create a combo dropdown with gallery.

'----- Init code-----------

    Set oCtlCmbMode = GroupRecordMode.Add(XtremeCommandBars.XTPControlType.xtpControlComboBox, ID_SESSION_TYPE, "")

    With oCtlCmbMode
        .Style = xtpButtonIconAndCaption
        .Width = 150
    End With

    Set ItemsSession = CommandBars.CreateGalleryItems(ID_SESSION_TYPE)
    ItemsSession.Icons = Me.ImageManagerAnnotations.Icons
    ItemsSession.ItemWidth = 400
    ItemsSession.ItemHeight = 50

    ItemsSession.AddItem ID_REC1, "Record A"
    ItemsSession.AddItem ID_REC2, "Record B"
    ItemsSession.AddItem ID_REC3, "Record C"

    Set oCmbSessionPopup = CommandBars.Add("Combo Popup", xtpBarComboBoxGalleryPopup)

Set GallerySession = oCmbSessionPopup.Controls.Add(xtpControlGallery, ID_SESSION_TYPE, "")

    Set oCtlGallerySession = GallerySession
    GallerySession.Width = 300
    GallerySession.Height = 150
    GallerySession.Style = xtpButtonIconAndCaption
    GallerySession.ShowScrollbar = False
    Set GallerySession.Items = ItemsSession

Set oCtlCmbMode.CommandBar = oCmbSessionPopup

The issue i have here is that evrytime the dropdown is clicked, it will always select the first item in the gallery irrespextive of the selection in the dropdown. How can i address this? Thx.

Hi,

You need set checked item in update handler. Our samples show it.

Hi Oleg,

I am using the example above and as you suggested I added an update handler. But it does not work.

I've created the handler as follows:

Select Case Control.ID
Case ID_SESSION_TYPE
If (Control.Type = xtpControlGallery) Then
set Control.CheckedItem=Control.SelectedItem

End If
End Select

What is wrong? I don't see the gallery firing any update events

Thx

Hi,

Please check our sample. See how ID_GALLERY_STYLES works.

it only works realiably if DropDownListStyle = False for the combo box. If true, it works weirdly. The problem with setting it to false is that user can type anything into the combo box. Any ideas?

Hello Oleg,

This issue can be reproduced in the VB project - Ribbon Sample, by making the following change:

In the CreateRibbonBar routine, change

Dim Combo As CommandBarComboBox
Set Combo = GroupFont.Add(xtpControlComboBox, ID_FONT_FACE, "Font Face")
Combo.DropDownListStyle = True

Dim Combo As CommandBarComboBox
Set Combo = GroupFont.Add(xtpControlComboBox, ID_FONT_FACE, "Font Face")
Combo.DropDownListStyle = False

Now, run the example. Everytime you click on the dropdown for font face it will always select the 1st item in the list and revert to the selection made when it is closed.

This is a bug according to me. Can you suggest a fix?

Hi,

When you change it to False you must add Update handler to check corresponded item. See ID_GALLERY_STYLES handler.

It doesn't work. I've confirmed that the gallery checked item is getting the correct ID. Yet the problem persists, every time the dropdown is clicked, the first item in the gallery is selected in the combo box.
