How to open a form by clicking on a groupbar item

[Jeff Baygents]

Am new to these tools. This should be very basic to everyone else. Couldn''t find in documentation. Need a simple example of how to open a VB2005 form after clicking on an individual Groupbar Item (not the main group). The examples are very good and filled with lots of things; I can''t seem to locate this. Thanks very much.

Hi Jeff, As I have understood from your requirement, you want to open a new form when clicking on a GroupViewItem not the groupBarItem as you have mentioned. The control present in the client area of a groupBarItem (group) is GroupView which contains groupViewItems. You have to handle the GroupViewItemSelected event and check for the selected item and write the code for creating a form as shown below

Private Sub GroupView1_GroupViewItemSelected(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GroupView1.GroupViewItemSelected

	If (Me.GroupView1.SelectedItem = 0) Then
		frm = New Form2()
		frm.MdiParent = Me
		frm.Show()
	End If

End Sub

I have attached a VB 2005 sample. In the sample, if you click on the first groupViewItem (GroupViewItem0), it will open a new mdi form. Please let me know if I have missed anything. Thanks for using Essential Tools. Regards, Mano f44426_GroupBar.zip

Thanks for the code Mano. Your attached example doesn''t work for me. Apparently you''re on a different version of Syncfusion. I''m using the current "production" released version. You might be using a newer beta/RC version. I get about 15 errors when I attempt to run the project or view the opening form.
