Hi guys,
I have a question thats probably pretty easy to anwer but I couldn't seem to find the answer anywhere.
We're switching to the Office2010 stye now. Since we allow every user to select the style he want's to use (e.g. office 2007) the style is set via:
Infragistics.Win.AppStyling.StyleManager.Load() when the apllication starts
but this doesn't seem to include the ribbon (toolbar). I tried to do it manually but I'm not happy with the solution. Shouldn't loading the style change the toolbar style too?
Another little issue is the Image used for the "File" Menu Item. The image is displayed in a very strange style when using the office 2010 style but since the menu is generated with an xml file and I still need the image for the office 2007 style I can't remove it. Is there an easy way to hide this image when I use the 2010 style?
And one last question: Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's default behaviour if you use the & key in the name of a menu item the char after the & is underlined and used for the ALT+Key functionality. When i use the toolbar style office 2010 this doesn't work in win 7. On my 7 machine the & keys are displayed and the ALT+key doesn't work. In win xp this works just fine which is kinda strange.
Thanks in advance

Which isl file are you loading? I assume you are using our Office2010 Blue.isl? If so, then this will change the style of the toolbar and the ribbon, but you would have to set up the Office2010 Application menu in your application itself.

I am not sure what you are asking here. What's "strange" about it?

You mean the "&" shows up as an "&" character instead of as a mnemonic underline on the following character? I tried this out, but it looks like Office 2010 style does not use mnemonics at all any more - they have been replaced by Keytips. So when I press Alt, all I see are the keytips. I don't see the ampersands. But I can't see any reason why this would have anything to do with the operating system.

I use the Office2010 Blue.isl but what do I have to Set up?

Nevermind I had a little error in reasoning

I'll have a closer look on this but the exact same build shows underlinbes on XP and the "&" character on 7 Machines ...
