We�re looking over the entire help file for answers before coming to this forum, also we looked the included samples, however we find the help file very poor on explanations; you click F1 over a command and the help file popped up with the command syntax, but for almost all commands there�s no source code explaining how to use it.

Anyway, been two days now that we�re looking the way to hide and unhide an item on a toolbar (ribbonbar) and didn�t find the way to do it from code unless we call it on the MDI form at the beginning.

Set ControlPreferences = RibbonBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlPopup, 5, "Preferencias")

With ControlPreferences

.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_PREF_REA, "Reactivate Warnings"

.CommandBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlButton, ID_PREF_EDE, "Specialist Data")

.Flags = xtpFlagRightAlign: .ToolTipText = "": .Width = 80

End With

We want to hide

.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_PREF_REA, "Reactivate Warnings"

�from code and probably unhide it later

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Hello,

All our samples have Update handler please check how it works.

You need add flag variable that indicates that control need to hide/show and in update handler add

Private Sub CommandBars_Update(ByVal Control As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBarControl)

    On Error Resume Next
    Select Case Control.Id
        Case ID_PREF_REA:
               Control.Visible = bControlVisible

End Select
End Sub

...

or you can enable actions:

CommandBars.EnableActions

and call

CommandBars.Actions(ID_PREF_REA).Visible = False.

...

or jsut use FindControl method, find this control and set its Visible propety to False.

have no idea what you did 2 days :-)

First we appreciate greatly your answer, so what we say here is with good intentions:

====================================================

CommandBars.Actions(ID_PREF_REA).Visible = False.

Not working return MDIform error

or jsut use FindControl method, find this control and set its Visible propety to False.

Not working return MDIform error

The solucion is to set the CommandBar PUBLIC!!

All your samples showed DIM, we assume DIM will work on the MDI since is there located, but we have to set it Public if we want it to work (we had a hard time to figure it out).

Anyway we insist that your help file should be more specific, by giving a simple sample for each command you use on it.

Below is what we mean: Your help file say something like this
