Force the Ribbon Control Menu to Close

[John Slater]

I have a Ribbon Control with a ToolStrip ComboBox in the Main Panel. I have a DropDownClosed Event Handler on the ToolStrip ComboBox. After selecting from the ComboBox the Ribbon Menu is not closing unless I Click on the Form or hit Escape. Is there a way I can force it to close after selecting from the ToolStrip ComboBox?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

I have tested the issue with the simple sample in version 6.4.0.15. I have added a ToolStripComboBox and ToolStripComboBoxEx controls in the ToolStripEx that is placed in RibbonControlAdv. I have implemented the DropDownClosed event for both. I am afarid that I was not able to reproduce the issue. Please refer to the sample given below:

Could you please let me know what version are you using and also whether you are trying to perform any action in DropDownClosed event, so that I can test the issue further and provide you a better solution?

Please let me know if any concerns.

Hi,

THe example you provided is not the same layout that I have described. I have attached the revised layout. AFter selecting from the ComboBox in the Office Menu Dropdown Button, I would like the Menu to automatically close.
Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for your detailed update.

In order to close the MenuButton's dropdown when the ToolStripComboBox's dropdown is closed, we need to invoke the MenuButtonDropDown's Close method in the ToolStripComboBox's DropDownClosed event. Please refer to the code snippets given below that illustrates this:

   private void toolStripComboBox1_DropDownClosed(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.ribbonControlAdv1.MenuButtonDropDown.Close();
        }

Please let me know if any concerns.
