SharedProps.Enabled doesn't work
posted

The code below should be working for SharedProps.Enabled but it doesn't. I think this is a bug in the latest Ribbon code. I have two examples below and neither work. Ideas? Help?


Example One: 
PopupMenuTool popupAnalysisInstance = mainRibbon.Ribbon.Tabs["Sales"].Groups["reports"].Tools["PopupAnalysis"] as PopupMenuTool;
            
bool showTool = false;
try
{
   showTool = ReportUtils.AuthorizeUserForReport(
          UserManager.Instance.RunAsUser.SamAccountName,
          reportToolMap[reportToolKey]);
}
catch (Exception) { }
               
popupAnalysisInstance.Tools[reportToolKey].SharedProps.Enabled = showTool; //Setting Enable doesn't work...why?
popupAnalysisInstance.Tools[reportToolKey].SharedProps.Visible= showTool;  //Setting visible does work....Why??


Example Two: 
ButtonTool aTool = mainRibbon.Tools[reportToolKey] as ButtonTool;
            
if (aTool != null)
{
    bool showTool = false;
    try
    {
      showTool = ReportUtils.AuthorizeUserForReport(
           UserManager.Instance.RunAsUser.SamAccountName,
           reportToolMap[reportToolKey]);
     }
     catch (Exception) { }
               
   aTool.SharedProps.Enabled = showTool; //This doesn't work...Why??
   aTool.SharedProps.Visible = showTool; //This does work
}
