Question about IE Web Controls Toolbar.

[Ken Varn]

I am using the IE Web Controls Toolbar. One of the toolbar items I am using
is a ToolbarDropDownList. I have set AutoPostback to true for the
ToolbarDropDownList. The page does a postback as expected when the
selection is changed, but I cannot figure out which event to trap in order
to process the selection. Also, I can't even figure out how to get the
selected item from the drop down list. I have tried calling FindControl()
on the Toolbar instance, but it returns null.

So... two questions:

1. What event should I check for when the ToolbarDropDownList selection
changes?
2. How do I get the ToolbarDropDownList selected item?

That works fine for buttons on the toolbar, but the ButtonClick event does
not get fired for a ToolbarDropDownList when the selected item is changed.
Please read the original post.

here is some code

private void Tools_ButtonClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

if (sender.GetType().ToString() ==
"Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.ToolbarButton")

{

EnableToolBarButtons();

string strBtnName = "";

Widget.ToolbarButton oButton= (Widget.ToolbarButton)sender;

strBtnName = oButton.Text;


if(oButton.Text.IndexOf("Add Record") > -1) ....

you get the idea

I am using the designer to add the ToolbarDropDownList item. There does not
seem to be a way to access the item events in toolbar items using the
designer.

I finally did what you described and wired up the event manually and it
seemed to work.

How are you adding the toolbar buttons? If you are using the designer it
should fire the itemcommand event (if memory serves me correctly). If you
are adding it dynamically, then you will need to manually wire up the
events. An alternative way is to manually wire the toolbardropdownlist
explicitly in the page_load event handler.
