Hi,
 
You need "ctrl.CommandBar " instead of ctrl.Parent.
but I ерштл better to change code for Update architecture like our samples do - user can copy this control to Quick access and you will have 2 instances for same Id.]]> Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:38:53 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15552&PID=54595&title=ribbonbar-problem-to-find-parent-control#54595 <![CDATA[RibbonBar - problem to find parent control : Sorry, I was confused by your...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15552&PID=54593&title=ribbonbar-problem-to-find-parent-control#54593 Author: chrisABC

Sorry, I was confused by your C sample code.

I only speak Visual Basic :-)



There is a Section of the Forum for C++, with a sub Forum Command Bars.   Maybe you would get better answer in there.

This section of the Forum is for ActiveX components. You should get better answers if you post the question in the Section for C# code.]]> Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:38:46 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15552&PID=54590&title=ribbonbar-problem-to-find-parent-control#54590 <![CDATA[RibbonBar - problem to find parent control : I&#039;m using in a Ribbonbar...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15552&PID=54582&title=ribbonbar-problem-to-find-parent-control#54582 Author: iamgtd

I'm using in a Ribbonbar SplitPopupControls. At the runtime controls are enabled and disabled in dependency of the state of the program. So it could be situation that all child controls of a SplitPopupControl are disabled. In this case I want to disable also the SplitPopupControl itself and vize versa.

Please see the following function for enabling or disabling a CommandBarControl.
 
The Enabled state of the control is changed and also it's checked if the control is placed in a SplitPopupControl. If yes, then all child controls of the SplitPopupControl are checked for their enabled-property. This is working, my problem is to set the Enabled property of the SplitPopupControl.
Please help me.
 
        private void EnableCommandControl(int commandid, bool enablecommand)
        {
            // Find control
            XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarControl ctrl = RibbonBar().FindControl(null, commandid, null, true);
            if (ctrl != null)
            {
                // Enable/disable control
                ctrl.Enabled = enablecommand;
               
                if (ctrl.Parent.Type.ToString() == "xtpBarTypePopup")
                {
                    // ctrl is child of a popup
                    XtremeCommandBars.CommandBar parentctrl = (XtremeCommandBars.CommandBar)ctrl.Parent; // <--- works, but I'm thinking this isn't the correct approach
                    //XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarControl parentctrl = (XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarControl)ctrl.Parent; // <--- fails, but this would be better because CommandBarControl has an Enabled property.

                    if (parentctrl != null)
                    {
                        bool isenabled = false;
                        foreach (XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarControl childctrl in parentctrl.Controls)
                        {
                            // search through all controls of the parentcontrol
                            if (childctrl.Type.ToString() == "xtpControlButton")
                            {
                                if (childctrl.Enabled)
                                {
                                    isenabled = true;
                                    break;
                                }
                            }
                        }
                        // here I want to change the Enabled property of SplitPopupControl, but it fails.
                        parentctrl.Enabled = isenabled; // <---- doesn't work, because the CommandBar hasn't the property "Enabled"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
