Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(true)]
public virtual bool DropDownMode { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(True)>
Public Overridable Property DropDownMode As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	true	true if a drop-down menu can be invoked by using the drop-down button only; false if a drop-down menu can be invoked by using any area of the item.

Remarks

Typically, a drop-down menu is invoked by clicking a drop-down button that consists of the item’s pop-out image and text. A mouse click to another part of an item (e.g., an item image) won’t invoke the menu. In this case, you can use the ASPxClientRibbon.CommandExecuted event handler to implement custom functionality.

Set the DropDownMode property to false to invoke a drop-down menu by clicking any area of the parent ribbon item.

Use the RibbonImages.PopOut property to specify the drop down button image.
