Change Disabled Toolbar Color

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We have some routines during which we would like to disable the users interaction with the toolbar. When we set the individual controls' enabled property to false they get the "greyed" out affect. What we really want is to have the controls disabled but retain their current color setting, not receive any "highlighting" during mouse roll overs,etc. We've tried:

1. setting a global flag for the commandbar's execute routine to simply return during the desired "disabled" period however the buttons still are get highlighted and are clickable.

2. Setting various global color settings however when we have the visualtheme set to the office2007 those color settings don't seem to have an affect.

3. Looked into UseDisableIcons = False, UseFadedIcons = False, turning animation off however none seems to have an affect (perhaps due to the office2007 visual theme?)

We did notice a particular property of the report control named "GreyIfDisalbe" which seems to be exactly what we want but it only applies to the repot control and not a toolbar. Description of this property is "When False, when the report control is disabled the report will still look enabled to the user but won't respond to input."

Any suggestions?

TIA
