Groups Property

Returns a collection of the GalleryItemGroups displayed in the GalleryTool dropdown.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property Groups As ObservableCollection(Of GalleryItemGroup)

C#

public ObservableCollection<GalleryItemGroup> Groups {get;}

Remarks

Adding a GalleryItemGroup to this collection will prevent the display of GalleryItems in the GalleryTool dropdown, unless you add the key of at least 1 GalleryItem to the GalleryItemGroup.ItemKeys collection of the GalleryItemGroup.

Note: Once a GalleryItemGroup has been added to this collection, the GalleryTool will not display GalleryItems in the GalleryTool dropdown unless they are assigned to GalleryItemGroups by adding the Key to the GalleryItemGroup.ItemKeys collection of the Group in which the GalleryItem should be displayed.

Note: Adding GalleryItemGroups to this collection has no effect on the display of GalleryItems in the GalleryTool preview area, since GalleryItemGroups are never displayed in the preview area

Example

The following example shows how to create GalleryTool and populate it with items.

Visual Basic

Imports System
Imports System.Windows
Imports Infragistics.Windows.Ribbon


Namespace MyNamespace
    Public Partial Class MyWindow
        Inherits XamRibbonWindow
        Public Sub New()
            InitializeComponent()
        End Sub
       
        Protected Sub LoadGalleryTool()
            Dim galleryTool As New GalleryTool()
            menuTool.Items.Add(galleryTool)
           
             galleryTool.Groups.Clear()
             galleryTool.Items.Clear()
            
             Dim group As New GalleryItemGroup()
             group.Title = "Group"
             galleryTool.Groups.Add(group)
             For ind As Integer = 1 To 10
                
                 Dim item As New GalleryItem()
                 item.Key = "Item" + ind.ToString()
                 item.Text = settings.Name
                 item.Image = New BitmapImage(New Uri("\Images\ig_office_icon_16.png", UriKind.Relative))
                
                 galleryTool.Items.Add(item)
                 group.ItemKeys.Add(item.Key)
             Next
         End Sub
     End Class
