Toolbar with dropdown

Hello,

is there a way to make a dropdown toolbar button work? In designer view, the small arrow is there but with the menu duly added, nothing happens when the application is run, I get a plain button in the toolbar.

Thanks,
Gábor

Re: Toolbar with dropdown

Hi Gábor.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but If you're asking how to create toolbar with drop down menu:

1. Add context menu to your form and add it some menu items. You can add the menu items in the designer.

2. Add ToolBar to your form.

3. Add a button to your ToolBar. you can Add it through the toolbar properties window (Buttons) property.

4. Set the DropDownMenu of the new Button to the context menu you created earlier.

If this isn't answering your question, please say so…

Regards,
Tamir

The problem is with step 5, running the application. I do the previous 4 steps exactly as you describe, and then, when I start the application in the emulator in VS (I haven't yet had the chance to try it on a real web server), I don't get a dropdown button with the arrow and the menu appearing below when clicked, just a plain vanilla toolbar button that I can click on to fire an event.

Bye,
Gábor

Hi Gabor,

With in the catalog sample code there is a toolbar utilizing this feature, try to see if you see any difference in usage.

Cheers,

Re: Toolbar with dropdown

Well, I don't know. I have just downloaded the latest stable release and the Catalog. I can compile the Catalog, albeit with 14 warnings. The initial web page is not set in the properties, I have to do that manually. Then I seemingly get the Catalog in IE but I'm stuck in Controls > ListView, nothing else works. When I click on anything, nothing at all happens. Something is definitely fishy around here...

Bye,
Gábor
