Is it possible to prevent a PopupMenuTool from becoming disabled when all of its child Tools are disabled?
Thanks
Hi,
I have tested with v10.2 to set SharedProps.Enabled to false for all tools in a PopupMenuTool and the popup menu is still enabled. Please, give me more details how you disable the tools or upload a sample illustrating this behavior, and I will research it for you.
Regards,

Hi Stefaniya,
I probably should of included some more relevant information in my question. The scenario in question is dealing with a ribbon which has a pop up menu. I have attached a simple example that demonstrates the problem.
When ButtonTool1 and ButtonTool2 are disabled, PopupMenuTool1 is also disabled.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen
If you set ToolbarsManager’s Office2007UICompatibility property to false, the popup menu will pop, regardless all tools in it are disabled. The Office 2007 UI Guidelines states that a popup menu on a ribbon group must be disabled if it contains all disabled items, so disabling it will make the popup to work.
I hope this helps.
I didn't realise it was part of the guidelines, thanks for the help :o)
