Multiple instances of tools with different states
posted

Hi

I'm not sure if this is possible as it probably misses the whole point of the ribbon.

We have a need to have multiple instances of a couple of tools on different ribbons. They need to be enabled/disabled independantly. Basically somelike like:

tool.instanceprops.enabled = true/false

The way we've done it at the moment is just to duplicate tools doing the same functions (just with a different key).

Thanks

    Certain properties can be set differently on instances of the same root tool. However, Enabled is not one of them, since it not only determines whether the enabled look of tools but also indicates whether shortcuts can be activated for the tool. They must either be all enabled or all disabled.
