I am using the UltraToolbar in my UltraGrid and I added some Tools[which I think are basically like menu items]. But I would like to hide some Tools[menu items] in certain circumstances. I dont see a easy way[couldnt find one at all] to do it. Could somebody point me in the right direction?. Here is my typical use case.
I have a menu like this in UltraGrid
Options
SubOption1
SubOption2
Now the issue is that I want to disable SubItem1[which is a button tool item] to start with and enable it when I need. Thanks
Yes, actually I found that out after reading this about 30 seconds ago :)

Is the tool in the Ribbon? By default, tools in the ribbon cannot be hidden because it would violate the Office 2007 UI Guidelines which state that the contents of a ribbon tab cannot change based on state. If you would like to relax this restriction, set UltraToolbarsManager.Office2007UICompatibility to False.
I know this thread is a year old, but I wanted to mention that tools("name").SharedProps.Visible = False does the same thing for me. The tool is disabled, NOT made invisible.
Using SharedProps.Visible = False does not hide the tool for me--it only disables it (grayed out).
How do I hide an individual tool completely?
I saw another post that suggested that I should use myToolBarManager.Tools[1] instead of myToolBarManager.Tools to do this; however, the Tools collection on my toolbarmanager instance is null.
Thanks.
To hide the tool, use ...SharedProps.Visible = False etc instead of Hidden = false (which isn't an option!)
