I am currently developing a WinForms application using Ribbon. I was wondering if there is a way to disable the highlighting effect when you mouse over the different groups?
Thanks.
Hello nasiramin,
You could try the following code in order to achieve this:
Infragistics.Win.Appearance appearance1 = new Infragistics.Win.Appearance(); appearance1.AlphaLevel = ((short)(200)); appearance1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(192)))), ((int)(((byte)(192)))), ((int)(((byte)(255))))); appearance1.BackColorAlpha = Infragistics.Win.Alpha.Opaque; this.ultraToolbarsManager1.Ribbon.GroupSettings.HotTrackGroupAppearance = appearance1;
Infragistics.Win.Appearance appearance1 = new Infragistics.Win.Appearance();
appearance1.AlphaLevel = ((short)(200));
appearance1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(192)))), ((int)(((byte)(192)))), ((int)(((byte)(255)))));
appearance1.BackColorAlpha = Infragistics.Win.Alpha.Opaque;
this.ultraToolbarsManager1.Ribbon.GroupSettings.HotTrackGroupAppearance = appearance1;
Please feel free to let me know if I misunderstood you or if you have any other questions.
Hi,
I am having a similar problem but I want to have the Transition and Fade effect on the Groups. I am using Office2010 style but the automatic Hot Tracking on Groups does not occur. Is there a way to automatically enable it just like Office 2007 style or do I have to manually set colours HotTrackGroupAppearance.BackColor?
In the latest version, it is still not possible to prevent the automatic hot tracking. You can submit a feature request for this ability.
You can, however, set the RibbonGroupSettings.HotTrackGroupAppearance for one group (or many groups, via RibbonTab.GroupSettings or Ribbon.GroupSettings) to match the normal group appearance so it is not possible for the user to detect a difference in the hot track appearance.
Is the ability to disable hot tracking in the Infragistics ribbon related to a specific version or does the same exist in the current version ?
If it is not set to Default, your setting should be honored. Are you sure the transitions are still occuring when you have it set to None? Keep in mind the transitions occur relatively quickly. Without transitions enabled, you will see the groups hot tracking instantly. With the transitions enabled, the hot tracked appearance will be faded in within a fraction of a second.
