HI

That is a longer Story. I had already a discussion with one of your colegues.
On our toolbar we had 2 kinds of Buttons. Normal Toolbarbuttons and popupgallerytools with segmented Buttons.
The segmented Buttons had a Standard method which where bound to the button and had a drop down with alternative functions. The only Problem was that the Little arrow is hard to catch for People with some eye problems. So users wish for an alternative way. I know I can modify the segmented to Default, but then I loose the Standard button function an will always get the drop down. So we were looking for an alternative which does not work much different inside our classes.

My last decision was to embedd a normal Ultrabutton in a Container and add a popup-menu to them. This basically works fine and did not Need modification of the classes.

Even the Buttons look alike if  i made them UIElementButtonStyle:Office2007RibbonButton. The only remaining Problem is the font. Even with different styles this Comes out pretty nice.

Maybe the solution will be that I forgett about the Toolbarbuttons and replace them all with Container and UltraButtons?

I hope I have explained this in an understandable way.

I have no experience with StyleSets so far. One other way would be that I am able to modify all styles that the Buttons use the same Font / Fontsize etc.  This would be Arial - Size 11 and bold.

Thanks for your Patience.

Hi,

I'm afraid you lost me. The styling of the UltraButton does not normally have anything to do with the style of toolbar buttons. They are completely separate objects and they don't look alike in most applications.

If you are saying that you are applying styling to UltraButton controls and then UltraButton controls on the form look different than the ones on the toolbar, then I'm not sure why that would be, unless you are doing something to explicitly make that happen such as using StyleSetName or StyleLibraryName.

From your initial post, I thought you wanted the UltraButtons on the toolbar to look more like toolbar buttons and not like the other buttons on the form. Is that not what you wanted? I doubt you ever be able to get them to look exactly like toolbar buttons. They are not the same objects. But I would think it should be possible to get them pretty close.

BTW... why use an UltraButton on a toolbar, instead of a toolbar button, anyway?

Hi!

Up to now I have not seen that the Styling of the Toolbar Buttons has anything in common with the Style of the normal Buttons.

I use the same style for everything on the form, but the toolbarbuttons look different from the normal Buttons ...

e.g. I have the trendy Style and my Buttons look green, the toolbar Buttons are sort of White. And I did not alter the style.

It Looks like this has to do with the extra ButtonStyleProperty?

Hi,

So you want to style the buttons on the toolbar differently than the other buttons on the form?

Okay... the only way to do that will require changes to the application code. AppStylist can't treat controls differently without a little help.

What you do is add a new StyleSet to your Style Library. The new StyleSet would apply only to the buttons on the toolbar. Then you set the StyleSetName property on the buttons on the toolbar to the name of this new StyleSet.

Hi!

Thanks for the quick reply, but I think it is not that easy.
I am doing this all dynamic - the whole toolbar, and Buttons are used on the forms too. If I go to style the button in General, this would affect not only the Buttons inside the toolbar?

And how can I do this dynamically?
