DXButtonGroupItem Class

A group of buttons that can be displayed within a DXPopupMenu object.

Assembly : DevExpress.Utils.v25.2.dll

NuGet Packages : DevExpress.Utils, DevExpress.Wpf.Core

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public class DXButtonGroupItem :
    DXSubMenuItem

Public Class DXButtonGroupItem
    Inherits DXSubMenuItem

Remarks

A DXPopupMenu can be displayed as a regular menu, popup bar or RibbonMiniToolbar object (see DXPopupMenu.MenuViewType). A DXButtonGroupItem object added to a DXPopupMenu is visualized differently depending on the popup menu’s display mode:

To add a DXButtonGroupItem object to a DXPopupMenu, use the popup menu’s inherited DXSubMenuItem.Items property.

Example

The example demonstrates how to add two DXButtonGroupItem objects to a DXPopupMenu, and display the menu as a RibbonMiniToolbar.

VB.NET

    DXPopupMenu dxPopupMenu = new DXPopupMenu();
    DXButtonGroupItem buttonGroup = new DXButtonGroupItem();
    EventHandler handler = new EventHandler(ItemClick);
    buttonGroup.Items.Add(new DXMenuItem("Undo", handler, Image.FromFile("..\\..\\undo32x32.png")));
    buttonGroup.Items.Add(new DXMenuItem("Cut", handler, Image.FromFile("..\\..\\cut32x32.png")));

}

void ItemClick (object sender, EventArgs e) {
    DXMenuItem item = sender as DXMenuItem;
    //You can identify an item by its caption
