How to add TextBox to VerticalRibbonToolContainer
posted

I am trying to add a textbox to the XamRibbon group. I am using 10.3 version. Following is the xaml where the textbox needs to reside.

 

<ig:XamRibbon>
	<ig:XamRibbon.Tabs>
		<ig:XamRibbonTabItem>
                        <ig:XamRibbonGroup Caption="Search">
                            <ig:VerticalRibbonToolContainer>
                                <ig:CheckBoxTool Caption="Enabled"/>
                                <TextBox/>
                            </ig:VerticalRibbonToolContainer>							
                        </ig:XamRibbonGroup>
                </ig:XamRibbonTabItem>
	</ig:XamRibbon.Tabs>
</ig:XamRibbon>

    Hi,

    Due to certain limitations of Silverlight, the ribbon tools are not controls. Instead, each tool generates a control to display when necessary. For example, you might want to add a tool to a ribbon group, and display the same tool in the Quick Access Toolbar. In this case the tool will generate and display two controls - one in the group, and one in the QAT.

    So, in order to display a TextBox in the ribbon, you'll have to create a custom ribbon tool for that purpose. The following thread shows exactly how to do that and you can find attached sample with ComboBoxTool:

     Using the same approach you can easily implement a TextBoxTool.

     

    Hope this helps,
