How should I change a PopupMenuTool image at runtime? I tried setting the CustomizedImage property and this seemed to work initially, but has now stopped working for some reason. :(
What I actually want to do is assign the icon for the currently selected menu item (from it's children), but at the moment I can't actually find a way to get this image from the child item either, which is a StateButtonTool, so I have been assigning the actual resource image used instead, but this is less flexible and harder to maintain.
Any help on either problem is appreciated.

This might be a bug. I would recommend submitting the issue to the support group: http://es.infragistics.com/gethelp. As a workaround, you can set the Image on the appropriate Appearance... property on the InstanceProps of the tool.

The best way to get the actual image used for an instance of a tool is to call one of the ResolveAppearance methods on it and get the Image from the resolved appearance:
AppearanceData appearanceData = new AppearanceData();popupMenuTool.Tools[0].ResolveAppearance(ref appearanceData);Image image = appearanceData.Image as Image;
if(image != null){ // ...}
Hi Mike,
I've got the same problem as brian_h but can't seem to get the popup menu tool change the image even with your hint of using the InstanceProps.Appearance instead.
I also tried using SharedProps to set the image with no luck either.
I'm using version 2008 Vol 3.
Any hint, why it won't change?
