Highlight Selected Item In UltraExplorerbar at Runtime
posted

Is there an easy way to highlight the selected item on UltraExplorerBar at runtime? I need to be able to highlight an item when the user selects it.

    I found a solution to the problem:

    //variable Declarations
    private Infragistics.Win.Appearance selectedItemAppearance;
    private UltraExplorerBarItem lastSelectedItem;

    //Inside class constructor
    this.selectedItemAppearance  = new Infragistics.Win.Appearance();
    this.lastSelectedItem = null;
    this.selectedItemAppearance.BackColor = SystemColors.MenuHighlight;
    this.selectedItemAppearance.ForeColor = SystemColors.HighlightText;

    //Event handler
    this.ultraExplorerBar1.ItemClick += new ItemClickEventHandler(ultraExplorerBar1_ItemClick);


    private void ultraExplorerBar1_ItemClick(object sender, ItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ( this.lastSelectedItem != null )
            this.lastSelectedItem.Settings.AppearancesSmall.Appearance = null;
        this.lastSelectedItem = e.Item;
        e.Item.Settings.AppearancesSmall.Appearance = this.selectedItemAppearance;
    }
