Usage

The user events to be bound with the combo box must be defined correctly according to the requirements of RibbonComboBoxItem. For details, see Modified, Selected, and SelectionChanged.

Example 1

This example inserts a combo box after another combo box in a panel. Both combo boxes are bound with the "Ue_ComboBoxSelectionChanged" user event.

Long ll_Handle_Category, ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_ComboBox, ll_Handle_ComboBox2

ll_Handle_Category = rbb_1.InsertCategoryFirst ("MyCategory")
ll_Handle_Panel = rbb_1.InsertPanelFirst (ll_Handle_Category, "MyPanel", "AddSmall!")
ll_Handle_ComboBox = rbb_1.InsertComboBoxFirst (ll_Handle_Panel, "Ue_ComboBoxSelectionChanged")
ll_Handle_ComboBox2 = rbb_1.InsertComboBox (ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_ComboBox, "Ue_ComboBoxSelectionChanged")

//Ue_ComboBoxSelectionChanged user event must have two long parameters for receiving the handle and 
//index number of the selected ComboBox.
//event type long ue_comboboxselectionchanged(long itemhandle, long index);
//Integer li_Return
//String ls_Text
//
//RibbonComboBoxItem lr_ComboBox
//li_Return = rbb_1.GetComboBox(ItemHandle,lr_ComboBox)
//If li_Return = 1 Then
// ls_Text = lr_ComboBox.Text(Index)
//End If
//
//Return 1
//end event

Example 2

This example inserts the "MyComboBox2" combo box after another combo box in a panel and binds it with "Ue_ComboBoxSelectionChanged", "Ue_ComboBoxSelected" and "Ue_ComboBoxModified" user events. It first defines a combo box item with various properties (including Label, PictureName, SelectionChanged, Selected, Modified etc.) and then inserts it after another combo box.

Long ll_Handle_Category, ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_ComboBox, ll_Handle_ComboBox2
RibbonComboBoxItem lr_ComboBox

ll_Handle_Category = rbb_1.InsertCategoryFirst ("MyCategory")
ll_Handle_Panel = rbb_1.InsertPanelFirst (ll_Handle_Category, "MyPanel", "AddSmall!")
ll_Handle_ComboBox = rbb_1.InsertComboBoxFirst (ll_Handle_Panel, "Ue_ComboBoxSelectionChanged")
lr_ComboBox.Label = "MyComboBox2"
lr_ComboBox.PictureName = "HelpSmall!"
lr_ComboBox.SelectionChanged = "Ue_ComboBoxSelectionChanged"
lr_ComboBox.Selected = "Ue_ComboBoxSelected"
lr_ComboBox.Modified = "Ue_ComboBoxModified"
ll_Handle_ComboBox2 = rbb_1.InsertComboBox (ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_ComboBox, lr_ComboBox)

//Ue_ComboBoxModified user event must have a long parameter for receiving the handle
//of ComboBox that is changed.
//event type long ue_comboboxmodified(long itemhandle);
//RibbonComboBoxItem lr_ComboBox
//rbb_1.GetComboBox(ItemHandle,lr_ComboBox)
////...
//
//return 1
//end event

//Ue_ComboBoxSelected user event must have a long parameter for receiving the handle 
//of ComboBox where the mouse is hovering over.
//event type long ue_comboboxselected(long itemhandle);
//RibbonComboBoxItem lr_ComboBox
//rbb_1.GetComboBox(ItemHandle,lr_ComboBox)
////...
//
//return 1
//end event
