Hi,
I am having issues in setting the pressed-apperance of popupMenuTools. Can't seem to find the property that will do that. not on the tool itself nor in the app-stylist.
No mather what .isl file I load, when pressing a popupmenutool on a toolbar, it's style is just plain normal Office07 blue. the normal and hover work just fine.
Hello Jankol,
We are still following this forum thread.
Please feel free to let us know if you have any other questions with this matter.
Sorry for the late reply,
So the only way to change the pressed appearance is to change the popupmenu tooltype to SegmentedButton?
But I do not need a segmented button! This is supposed to be used in the main menu of our application, it is supposed to be a single dropdown button, not segmented. We have no need for that and it would only confuse our users.
Why is this only possible on segmented tooltype? Should it not be available globaly, like every other component?
The pressed appearance will be applied only when the tool is segmented, because the part of the PopupMenu tool could remain "pressed". By default the PopupMenuTool won't be in a Pressed state, and that's why the appearance is not applied. I have been testing this scenario and I would like to ask what version of the Infragistics controls you are using in your application and if you are using separate appStyle list or just setting the Office2007blue through the settings?I will be able after that to look for another approach to have different visual appearance when you click on the PopupMenu tool and it gets expanded.
If you have any other questions please feel free to let us know.
Hi Danko,Thanks for your reply.
We are using Infragistics 11.2 and via settings applying a custom version of the IG.isl file. I think it's the new isl file that came with Infragistics 11.So no mater what style I am using, it allways shows the pressed appearnce of Office2007blue, even tho the rest of the component uses the correct IG-style.
Hello jankol,
Thank you for the provided information. I have created the following case for you: CAS-87790-4RNBCF
Would it be possible for you to provide me some isolated sample using your specific IG.isl file, where I will be able to continue further my investigation and if possible to correct this behavior. This might be an issue with the IG.isl file itself, but without your modified version it is not possible for me the verify what is the expected behavior.If you have any other questions with this matter please feel free to let us know.
I have created and added a link to a sample project.
Simple form that uses toolbarmanager with button, popupmenu and a segmented popupmenu.It also uses the custom IG.isl file. (But the result is the same with the original one).
I have also in the settings of the Popupmenu and Segmented popupmenu changed the PressedApperance to some other colors, but they do not appear when the buttons are Pressed.
Thank you for the sample.
In order to have the pressed appearance visible to the customer you would have to set your PopupMenuTool2 to be SegmentedStateButton, so the PressedState will apply to this style, where there is another state - pressed state.
popupMenuTool2.DropDownArrowStyle = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.DropDownArrowStyle.SegmentedStateButton;In order to see it, just click the text and move your mouse away.Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions with this matter.
You are welcome.
The estimated date of the next service release where the fix of this will be included is 11 May 2012. If you would like you could take a look at our service release calendar please do it here:http://ko.infragistics.com/support/service-releases.aspx#ServiceReleasesIf you have any other questions I will be glad to assist you further.
Ah ok! I get it now :)
Thank you for explaining. This is good.
When can we expect a service release where this would be included?
What you are seeing in the base version of the NetAdvantage for Windows Forms 2011 vol2 - 1010 is both an issue in the IG theme and the version itself, because the PopupMenu tool is not honoring the HotTracked appearance and showing something completely different - a style from Office2007Blue theme. Since this behavior is neither desired, nor expected, we have change it, so in the latest internal build it behaves as it should and now the PopupMenu tool does honor its HotTracked appearance in both scenarios - when it is being just hot tracked, and when it is being dropped down. I would like to apologize for any inconveniences that this caused you already.
If I could assist you further, I will be really glad to do so.
But in the test-project that I added for you earlier, you can clearly see that it is not the case.
The IG.isl style file, allready has a hotTracked image added to the PopupMenu tool, and it is only shown while HotTracked. When you PRESS the popupmenu tool, and it is dropped down, the color changes to something totaly different, office2007blue style.
So no, the HotTracked apperance does not change the droppedDown hotTracked apperance of the popupmenu tool.
Currently the PopupMenuTool is using the very same HotTracked appearance when it is being DroppedDown and when it isn't.
If you would like I could submit a new product idea for you, where I will explain the desired functionallity that you would like to our PopupMenu tool to have.If there is anything else that I could do for you please feel free to let us know.
