Using KeyTips in AdxRibbonSplitButton
Can not use KeyTips in AdxRibbonSplitButton

I use an AdxRibbonSplitButton in my Excel-Ribbon. I add ribbonButtons as items and choose different Keytips. When i use shortcuts to select the Splitbuttons, all items are shown but without any shortcuts.

Additionally i can not use Arrow-keys to select any items.

Hello Nachtigall,

I have reproduced the issue. But I am able to select buttons in the split button using arrows keys (the up and down keys). Is your OS (including Office) up to date?

When i use shortcuts to select the Splitbuttons, all items are shown but without any shortcuts.


This is the default Ribbon UI behavior. BTW I get the same results with VSTO.

I have MS Office Excel SP1.


I post the code:

Friend WithEvents AdxRibbonTab1 As AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbonTab

Me.AdxRibbonTab1 = New AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbonTab(Me.components)

'

Me.AdxRibbonButton1.ImageTransparentColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent
Me.AdxRibbonButton1.KeyTip = "c"
Me.AdxRibbonButton1.Ribbons = AddinExpress.MSO.ADXRibbons.msrExcelWorkbook


I press the key 'Arrow Down" and the Ribbon-Dropdown closed.

Nachtigall,

I have created a sample add-in project for you. You can download it http://www.add-in-express.com/files/projects_pub/temp/excel_splitbutton_keytips_issue.zip.

Please let me know whether it works for you.

Eugene,

i found the circumstances:

Add a AdxExcelTaskPanesManager with an
ADXExcelTaskPane to your project.

Then you can see the problem.

Nachtigall,

I still can't reproduce the issue. Could you send me a sample add-in project which can reproduce the issue to the support e-mail address (see readme.txt)?

Nachtigall,

I have tested it on my PC (Vista & Office 2007). It works fine for me.

I have a couple of questions for you:

1. Is Office up to date? Did you install SP1?
2. What OS do you use?
3. Is OS up to date?

Eugene,

I use Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2
and Office 2007 with SP1.

I can send you an image with the failure.
I test it with another OS (XP).
