QAT Toolbar

[robert11]

Does anyone know how to track if user chooses to show or hide one of the items on the QAT?
The form starts with all controls showing, but if one is Unchecked on the dropdown menu, how
do I track it. I do not see any events such as QAT.item.selected

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Robert

It looks like the Visible property for each KryptonRibbonQATButton control gets changed when they are toggled on and off by the user.

So you should be able to use the PropertyChanged event for each button to track its state:

Code: Select all

private void kryptonRibbonQATButton1_PropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
    var button = (KryptonRibbonQATButton)sender;

    if (e.PropertyName == "Visible")
    {
        if (button.Visible)
        {
            // do something
        }
        else
        {
            // do something else
        }
    }
}

Alternatively, you just preserve the state of the QAT buttons during FormClosing and restore it later during Load:

Code: Select all

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (KryptonRibbonQATButton button in kryptonRibbon1.QATButtons)
    {
        button.Visible = /* determine state here */;
    }
}

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (KryptonRibbonQATButton button in kryptonRibbon1.QATButtons)
    {
        /* save state here */
    }
}

Thanks for your reply.

After some playing, I was able to give the clients what they wanted

Basically the look and feel of "Office 2010" customize QAT Toolbar page selection
from the Options. Now just have to finish working on the Backstage veiw.

Would be nice to hear from Phil on these issues, as that is a "major" part of the
Office 2010 ribbon schema.

Once again, thanks for your reply.

This bar is located at the top of the page but its entire functions can be easily judged by the Ribbon and also operate very comfortably.
