You cant disable it, but you could set the UpdatePeriod to somethinglike every 10 minutes.  Or you could have some variable thatcontrols if the conde in the Update event is executed.]]> Tue, 04 Jan 2005 09:51:31 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1617&PID=4601&title=chaning-the-state-of-a-commandbar-control#4601 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1617&PID=4600&title=chaning-the-state-of-a-commandbar-control#4600 Author: amorton

Thanks for that. I looked at the other posts and discovered what i wasmissing. I did not realise i needed to call FindControl with therecursive param set. As i was calling it on the control itself and noton a command bar i did not think it was necessary.

Is there a way to disable the update event ? I tried setting theUpdatePeriod property on the commandBarsOptions object to zero but thatjust made it run as fast as it could.

I realise i could  just not implement an event handler but if i do that will the control still be fireing the event ?

thanks

1. Yes, Update event is only one way to do it.  You can simply useone of the Find method to find the control and change itsproperties.  Change them in the Controls collection, not theDesignerControls.  Do a search on forum for DesignerControls, Ihave explained them a few times

2. No

3. It is fired every 100 milliseconds by default.  You can change this by setting the UpdatePeriod property.

Hello have been trying to write some code to disable a menu option inthe command bar. I followed the documentation and used the"DesignerControls" controls collection off the command bars control tofind a control and change its enabled property. This did nothing.

Eventually i found the "Update" event, in the online help it says"Occurs when a command bar control has been updated." (and notmuch else)  which more than implies it is fired *after" a controlhas been updated. However one of the tutorials implies that if i wantto disable a menu option the only place i can do it is in the "Update"event.

So my questions are....
1) Is there are way to select a control from the command bars and disable it outside of the Update event ?

2) Is the only way to change the state of a command bar control  in the Update event ?

3) What is the trigger for the Update event to fire for a particularcontrol ? The online help says of the "control" param "The command barcontrol which has been updated." so what do i need to do to inorder fora control to be considered Updated ?

thanks for any help.
aaron
