Hi All-

I have a windows form having a ultra win toolbars manager having four ribbon tabs on it. Based on the mode user selected I will hide some of the ribbons and thereby tools on that ribbon. These tools are provided with short cuts by setting short cut key in Shared Props.

My problem is if the user hits a short cut key for a tool that is not visible there should be a check before hitting the funcitonality. So i wrote a little code in the tool click action which checks if that tool's ribbon is visible then go and execute the functionality otherwise return.

Question is which event will be the right place to add this functionality to check if it is valid tool or not. Some how i am not able to accept the fact that the tool click function is the right place to do that since this function will be called for the tool button click action also(i mean the user manually click on the tool).

Any info on this will help.

Thanks!
