Button Toolbar with Drop Down embedded tools

JayKappy — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 19:33:00 GMT

I have seen some apps around that had a couple images in a toolbar. When you hover over the image it acts like a drop down box and has embedded tools in it (ie. measure, etc). Does anyone know of any examples? I found one on ESRI site but it was C+ and I am usign VB.

Thanks

If you start out with a new ESRI Silverlight Standard Map Template project in Visual Studio or Expression Blend, there is two such type of toolbars under the title box. You can copy that approach to your own toolbar.

Did you install the Blend SDK prior to installing the ArcGIS API ?
Get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=d197f51a-de07-4edf-9cba-1f1b4a22110d&displaylang=en

(Note that this is not Blend, but just the SDK. You do get the SDK as part of Blend too though).

Just reinstall the ArcGIS Silverlight API. When you run the install, you should see an option to install the templates as well.
