Hi, gibra,

thanks for your reply. Smile

In Parameter-property i store a 'parameter' which holds the id of an object to be accessed when the button is clicked. The parent is supposed to store the last selected 'subcontrol' for quick access.

So there has to be another way to get the 'Parent-Button'. Confused

Thanks and greetings from Berlin to Italy

You can use Parameter property to store the parent button, while add each button to Commandbar.
 
From the help:
Parameter
Gets/Sets the parameter of the control.  This is the equivalent to the "Tag" property.  You can store any extra data needed for your program.

EDIT: see below

Hi there,

i build my commandbars dynamically, so i don't know the ids or anything else. There are simple buttons and  popupsplitbuttons.

It looks like this:

Button 1
Button 2
  SubButton 1
  SubButton 2
  ...
Button 3
Button 4
...

So, if 'SubButton 2' is clicked, how can i retrieve its parent 'Button 2' to change the caption from 'button 2' into 'something else'?
I know how to get the commandbar 'Button 2', but i don't know how to get it as a control to manipulate its properties.

Thanks
Andreas
