Toolbar Update Logic

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

   I am utilizing version 9.7 of the XtremeCommandBars control.  Do to the number of controls and the complexity of the update logic we do not want to handle the CommandBars_Update event to perform our control enabling/disabling.  I have written a routine that will find a control based upon it's ID and call the Enable method.  This works fine for the Menu items; however the corresponding toolbar control (with the same ID) does not get disabled.

Is there a way to update the enable status of a control other than the Update event?

	Yes, you need to use Actions. 1. Call CommandBars.EnableActions 2. Add controls to CommandBars as usual 3. Add Actions to Commandbars e.g. CommandBars.Actions.Add ID_FILE_NEW,"","","","" 4. To enable control call CommandBars.Actions(ID_FILE_NEW).Enabled=True and all instances of that control id will be enabled. See also ActionsSample

	Unfortunately, the Actions are not available in version 9.7.

	Hi, You already have a routine to enable/disable menu items, why not create a routine that finds the control in the toolbar?

	Okay, maybe I jumped the gun here. My routine does go thru all the command bars (menu and toolbar). But for some reason my toolbar was not being updated. I started a test app to attach to this thread and it is working as expected. So, must be in my logic that goes thru all the command bars and grabs the controls. Sorry for the false alarm.
