Hi,
I want to make a toolbar button selected by default when my form loads. I tried like this
this.utm.Ribbon.Tabs[0].Groups[1].Tools["Button7"].IsActiveTool = true;
in form_load but get an error
"Can't activate a tool that is not visible". This tool is visible, I am not sure why it's showing such an error.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Ponnu
It sounds like the UIElement for the tool hasn't been created yet, which probably means the toolbars manager hasn't painted for the first time yet. Try placing your code in an event handler for the Shown event of the Form instead of the Load event.
Hi Mike,
Thanks, the selection worked in form shown event.
I have a problem with it though, the selection goes OFF as soon as I mouse over on a different tool button in the same or different group. I want the selection to be persistant(so the selction is always there until I select a different button in the SAME group). I am looking at something like the one in Outlook Appointment Item where the Appointment Toolbar button is selected always selected.
Thanks & Regards
