RibbonGalleryBarItem.DropDownGallery Property

Gets or sets the item’s dropdown gallery, which is invoked when clicking the RibbonGalleryBarItem’s dropdown button. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Ribbon

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Ribbon.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Ribbon

Declaration

C#

public Gallery DropDownGallery { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property DropDownGallery As Gallery

Property Value

Type	Description
Gallery	A Gallery object that represents the dropdown gallery.

Remarks

If a dropdown gallery is not specified directly, clicking the dropdown button does the following:

• a copy of the in-ribbon gallery (RibbonGalleryBarItem.Gallery) is created.

• the RibbonGalleryBarItem.DropDownGalleryInit event fires.

  You can handle this event to perform additional dropdown gallery customizations.

• the created gallery is displayed in a popup window.

Example

This example shows how to create an in-Ribbon gallery, represented by the RibbonGalleryBarItem class. The gallery’s items are created in code (see the complete sample).
