How to activate a Ribbon Tool like the ActiveControl on Windows Forms
posted

Hi,

 is it possible to activate a Ribbon Tool so that it will be focused like the active Control on a Windows Form?

When im trying to set the Active State with the "IsActiveTool" Property the following Error appears:

Can't activate a root tool. Only tool instances that are in an UltraToolbar's or PopupMenuTool's Tools collection can be activated.

The same Error occurs when im using the "ActiveTool" Property on the Toolbars Manager.

 Im using the Infragistics 2007 Volume 3 Version of the Toolbar.

 

Whats the  Problem? Ribbon Tools cant have Sub Items i think?!? So why i cant activate a Ribbon Tool?
