I have an ESRI dropdown control inside of an ESRI toolbar. One of the items in the dropdown needs to have an & symbol in it. As it turns out ESRI stuff builds its callback strings as & delimited strings, so when an item is selected the parent toolbar immediately builds and handles the callback string. At one point it splits strings based on the & crashing the app.
In effect, having an ampersand in an esri dropdown causes nasty stuff to happen when you select the item.
What I need to do is find out how I can hop in before the callback stuff starts happening and strip that & out. I was thinking that perhaps I d have to create a custom esri toolbar control, but I m not sure and that d be pretty undesirable.
Any ideas?
