gallery getSelectedItemID not working

[David Thielen]

I have the following in my customui.xml:

<gallery columns="3"
id="WR_TAG_GALLERY" getEnabled="IsEditableButtonVisible"
onAction="RxTagGalleryType" getSelectedItemID="RxGetGalleryTagOnId"

image="element_add.png" itemHeight="32" itemWidth="32" label="Tags"
size="large" rows="7"

screentip="Insert or change a tag" supertip="If the caret is not on a
tag, insert this tag type.\nIf the caret is on a tag, change the tag
type.">
<item id="WR_TAG_OUT"
image="note_edit.png" label="Out" screentip="Insert data at this
location." supertip="This can be text, an imported template, or an
image." />

And the code:

public string RxGetGalleryTagOnId(IRibbonControl
control)
{
return "WR_TAG_OUT";
}

This gives me an error. Why?

I also tried returning null & "" (for nothing selected) - it didn't
like those either. How do I tell it nothing is selected?

thanks - dave

Hello Dave,

I can make it work using the codes similar as yours. Your codes look
correct to me. What is the error it reports? Do you receive that error in
compiler time or runtime?

---------------XML-------------------------
<gallery id="gallery1" label="gallery1" size="large" getSelectedItemID
="GetSelectedItemID">
<item id="WR_TAG_OUT" label="Out" screentip="Insert data at this
location." supertip="This can be text, an imported template, or an image."
/>
<item id="item2" label="Out" screentip="Insert data at this location."
supertip="This can be text, an imported template, or an image." />
<item id="item3" label="Out" screentip="Insert data at this location."
supertip="This can be text, an imported template, or an image." />
</gallery>
-----------------------------------------------

-------------Codes------------------------
public string GetSelectedItemID(Office.IRibbonControl control)
{
return "WR_TAG_OUT";
}
-----------------------------------------------

And now it's working. But I swear it wasn't before. Oh well...
