Ribbon System Button disabled

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

   I use the excellent Ribbon Bar, with a big round System button top left.
99.9% of the time it works perfectly.
But occasionally that big round button seems to become disabled.
  Moving the mouse over it or clicking on it produces nothing.
  It looks normal but it does nothing.

What could my program be doing to cause this?  
What property could be getting set to cause this?

More Information:
When this problem occurs, EVERYTHING else on the screen still works OK.
   The QuickAccess Toolbar still works.
   The System Button Tooltip still appears when mouse paused over it.
   The CommandBars.Execute event is not triggered when I click system button.

The System Button has hot key ALT-M.  Pressing ALT-M works OK.
And when ALT-M has been used, thereafter the Button again works perfectly.
99.9% of the time.

Any idea what is causing this???

	Still waiting for a reply to this problem. I get one or two customers each week phoning me to say that their program has stopped working......

	Hi, Strage that nobody complained about it before... maybe something related to your Update handler and you have situation where you somehow disable this sytembutton ? Check all lines of Update handler.
