Hi,
We would like to restrict a dxRibbon.TdxRibbonPopupMenu menu to the bounds of the parent form. For example, if the bottom of the popup menu will be displayed outside the main form, we make it popup above the cursor. If it will still be outside the form, we reduce the height of the popup and add scroll buttons.
Any idea how we can achieve this?
Cheers,
Paul
We have implemented the functionality described in this ticket. It will be included in our next update(s).
Please check back and leave a comment to this response to let us know whether or not this solution addresses your concerns.
The TdxBarCustomPopupMenu class has been extended with the OnShow event. At the moment this event is fired, the pop-up position and size of the submenu control associated with the popup menu are already calculated. You can access and adjust them as required using the popup menu’s SubMenuControl.BoundsRect property. We published the event in the TdxBarPopupMenu and TdxRibbonPopupMenu components.
Hello Paul,
Our TdxRibbonPopupMenu menu does not provide any mechanism to implement this functionality.
Hi,
Can you suggest a way in which it might be implemented? If this is not possible, could an an event be added that allows you to set the bounds before the menu is displayed?
Thanks,
Paul
Hello Paul,
The inner structure of the ribbon popup menu does not allow you to accomplish this task. However, your idea about implementing a special event sounds good. I have forwarded this ticket to our developers, so we will consider the possibility of implementing this feature with future versions of our controls.
