• Dec 28, 2020

To quickly build a new gallery inside a Ribbon, first right-click the tab group header and select the “Add Group With Toolbar” menu item to add a new tab group with an empty toolbar to the Ribbon, as shown in the following image:

Then, perform the following steps:

• To place a gallery in the toolbar, right-click the toolbar and select Add Item, and then the TdxRibbonGalleryItem in the context menu.

• In the Object Inspector, click the ellipsis button next to the gallery’s GalleryCategories property to open the Ribbon gallery designer. In the designer window, click the Add Group toolbar button to create a gallery group. Provide it with header settings and appearance options, as required.

• When a gallery group is selected, click the Add Item toolbar button in the designer window to create the gallery items that this group will contain. Provide each gallery item with a caption, description, and/or explanatory image.

• Using a gallery’s OnGroupItemClick or a gallery item’s OnClick event, implement functionality common to all items or for each item individually.

Run the application to see the result.
