Hi there,
I raised this issue about 3 weeks ago, but then changed my mind with how I wanted to complete this task - I have now changed my mind once again and I want to use this control again.
The original forum thread is T287423
I have found that the arrow is not drawn when the button has no text, when sat in a RibbonGroup in a Ribbon Bar. Please see the attached project.
As the button will have an icon that is representative of the function it performs, it does not need to have a text caption underneath the button. But as it doesn't have a caption, it doesn't draw the arrow, even when the Button's properties are set as
ActAsDropDown: True
AllowDrawArrow: True
AllowDrawArrowInMenu: True
ButtonStyle: DropDown
With these properties set, the button's clickable area is bigger than the icon, as if the arrow is there to be drawn but is not shown when there is no caption.
If ActAsDropDown is set to false, then the arrow is drawn, but then clicking the icon does not open the drop down menu.
What I would like is to have a button that has a DropDown Menu attached, with no caption, which draws the arrow next to it to show that it has a DropDown Menu.
One thing I hadn't mentioned was that this was done with the RibbonStyle "Mac Office" - but after a quick test, the RibbonStyle does not seem make any difference.
Hello Tom,
Thank you for the provided project. I see the described behavior. I saw your latest comment, however, this behavior appears to be specific to RibbonStyle (MacOffice). I've passed this ticket to our developers for further research. Please stay tuned. We'll notify you of our results once we have any.
Brilliant, thanks for the quick response and fix!
You are welcome! Please feel free to contact us in case of further difficulties.
