Getting the text value of a textbox in Ultratoolbars

I have added a TextBox control to the Ultratoolbar. How do I get the value of said text box ?
See, very simple question. So how come it is some difficult ? Toolbar:Tools["mitem"]:text ?
No.  Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200
AAARRGGGHHHH
TIA

CAST(Toolbar:Tools["mitem"], TextBoxTool):Text

should do. The Text property is not memeber of the ToolBase type.

That be the one. No wonder I was bashing my head against the brick wall.

Thanks, I remember now

It would be nice if there was a collection by tooltype :

Toolbar:TextBoxTools["mitem"]:Text

It would be nice if there was a collection by tooltype :

Don't hesitate to build your own

We usually use an enhanced version of the UltraToolbarsManager.

Hi,

I am trying to do something similar in that I have a Ribbon Toolbar, with a textbox tool in it. Can you tell me how I would get the value of the textbox ?

Its a pretty basic screen at the moment with a ultratoolbarsManager control on it. the control is the default ultratoolbarsManager1.

Do I need to do anything special to get these values ? I seem to be going around in circles here trying to figure it out.

I looked at the previous post, saying something about a CAST statement, however I couldnt get that to function either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Tim

Don't know what you are actually trying to do, but this code is from the ToolKeyPress event handler, checking for the Enter key and then calling a Filter method based on the actual value in the TextBoxTool:

METHOD PRIVATE VOID smartToolbarController1_ToolKeyPress( INPUT sender AS System.Object, INPUT e AS Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolKeyPressEventArgs ):

IF e:Tool:Key = "FilterTable" AND e:KeyChar = CHR(13) THEN

    FilterTables (CAST (e:Tool, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.TextBoxTool):Text) .

END METHOD.

Hi Mike,

All I really want to do it be able to read the value from the textbox in the Ribbon into a variable so I can use it in a search.

When I use the cast statement you mentioned, I get an invalid cast statement from infragistics

any ideas ?

Thanks

Tim

Hi All,

thanks for your input .. I got it .. finally  So all I needed to do was the following to return the value.

DEFINE

VARIABLE sVal AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.

CAST(ultraToolbarsManager1:Tools["TextBox_Name"], Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.TextBoxTool):TEXT.

Cheers
