Hello Petar.

It's not about to read a specific category but to create the menu with the functionality (see old post). For that I need "CategoryListItems" objects.

I can not create instances of the object.

Your example gives me a "Category" Object not a "CategoryListItems" Object.

Is there a function that gives me instances?

The second proposal is not because I already use a derivation of AppointmentDialogCore.

Thank you

Hello Marcus,

Excuse me for the late reply, I have been looking into your issue and through the correspondence so far. If you have your mind set on recreating the XamRibbon inside the dialog on your own, here is a way you can access your “test” category in your GetInitializedRibbon function:

Dim temp = DirectCast(DirectCast(DirectCast(adc, WpfApplication1.MyAppointmentDialogCore).DataManager.DataConnector, ListScheduleDataConnector).ActivityCategoryItemsSource(0), ActivityCategory)

I should also point out that there is another approach, that I think is much easier, when trying to modify the XamRibbon. I can suggest setting your DataManager’s DialgoFactory property to an instance of a class that inherits from ScheduleDialogFactory like:

public class MyDialog : ScheduleDialogFactory

{

    public MyDialog() : base() { }

    public override FrameworkElement CreateActivityDialog(FrameworkElement container, XamScheduleDataManager dataManager, ActivityBase activity, bool allowModifications, bool allowRemove)

    {

        XamRibbonWindow OriginalDialogRibbon = base.CreateActivityDialog(container, dataManager, activity, allowModifications, allowRemove) as XamRibbonWindow;

        // YOU CAN MODIFY THE Ribbon HERE !!

        return OriginalDialogRibbon ;

    }

}

Please let me know if you require any further clarification on the matter.

I want to display the entries of the lists for the existing categories (in my example picture test x)

In case I use your standard dialogue these are generated automatically. These are intern objects of the type "CategoryListItems".

But if I use the example of your colleague which was generated on the 22th of June, 2012 I have to generate the objects in the code by myself.

And this is the problem: I wasn´t able to generate objects of the type "CategoryListItems".

How do I have to proceed?

Hello,

I have been reading through your correspondence so far and I cannot seem to understand what exactly are you asking and where does this screenshot come from. Please elaborate on that so I may try and look for a solution.

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hearing from you.
