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.
Ok? So where do I alter the "DroppedDown HotTracked" appearance?
Thank you
Hello Jankol,
I have discussed this behavior further with our development team and the tool's PressedAppearance is used when the tool has to maintains its state(via it's Checked property) being checked. This applies when the StateButtonTools and PopupToolBase(this is the one that is being inherited from the PopupMenu tool) having their DropDownArrowStyle set to SegmentedStateButton. The correct and designed behavior of the PopupMenu tool(when is it not being set to SegmentedStateButton) is when it is dropped down to apply its HotTracked appearance. If you have any other questions or concerns about this matter please feel free to let us know.
Thank you for your assistance on this issue!
But I hope you mean "PressedAppearance" and not HotTracked, since it is the PressedAppearance that I am having issues with, not HotTracked. The HotTracked color\image work just fine.
Additional note to what I have provided in my previous mail is that you would be able to change the HotTracked appearance of the PopupMenu tool in the very next service release. The bluish color that you are seeing now (the default one of Office2007) in an issue in the version that you are using and it will be fixed.In order to have differnent HotTracked color when you press the desired PopupMenuTool, you would be able to change it accordingly through the AppearanceSmall.HotTrackAppearance as overall change or just to change how it will look the hot track appearance when it is used in the Toolbar as in your case: AppearancesSmall.HotTrackAppearanceOnToolbarIf you have any other questions please feel free to let us know.
I have been testing your solution for a while, and it seems that there is an issue with the popupMenuTool internally so I am still researching for a way to set the desired appearance over the tool. As we discussed already the pressed state appreance would be apllied only when the tool has been set to be segmented, because by default the popupMenuTool are stateless. I will update you accordingly for my progress.
If you have any other questions please feel free to let me know.
