CreateGalleryItems Sample (Visual Basic)

This sample illustrates how to create a gallery and add items to a gallery.

Dim ComboPopup As CommandBar, GalleryFont As CommandBarGallery, ItemsFont As CommandBarGalleryItems  
Dim GallerySize As CommandBarGallery, ItemsSize As CommandBarGalleryItems  

Set ComboPopup = CommandBars.Add("Combo Popup", xtpBarComboBoxGalleryPopup)  
Set GalleryFont = ComboPopup.Controls.Add(xtpControlGallery, ID_FONT_FACE, "")  
GalleryFont.Width = 290  
GalleryFont.Height = 508  

' First create a CommandBarGalleryItems collection using the  
' same Id as the gallery does  
Set ItemsFont = CommandBars.CreateGalleryItems(ID_FONT_FACE)  
ItemsFont.ItemWidth = 0  
ItemsFont.ItemHeight = 26  

ItemsFont.AddLabel "Recently Used Fonts"  
ItemsFont.AddItem 1, "Arial"  
ItemsFont.AddItem 2, "Tahoma"  

ItemsFont.AddLabel "All Fonts"  
For i = 1 To Screen.FontCount  
    ItemsFont.AddItem i, Screen.Fonts(i)  
Next i  

' Now set the Gallery.Items collection to the ItemsFont collections  
' that contains the gallery items  
Set GalleryFont.Items = ItemsFont  
Set Combo.CommandBar = ComboPopup
