Hello all,
I have several ButtonTool objects displayed in my Ribbon ApplicationMenu. They're set for display as ImageAndText, if that matters. Once I assigned a Shortcut to them, they display in the ApplicationMenu with their shortcuts out to the right-hand side. I want the shortcuts to only show up in the ToolTip, not in the Caption. Is there a way I can accomplish this?
I'm using NetAdvantage 2007 Vol. 3 for CLR 2.0.
I've searched but could not find an answer to this question. Hope someone can help!
Regards,
Chris
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply. I took your suggestion and submitted a feature request at the link you provided.
Best,
Unfortunately, this isn't directly supported, but can be accomplished. I would recommend submitting a feature request for this to the support group: http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Protected/RequestFeature.aspx.
To accomplish this manually, you can do the following (assuming you're doing it to ButtonTool1 which has a shortcut of Ctrl+S):
1. Set the SharedProps.Shortcut of ButtonTool1 to None.
2. Set the SharedProps.ToolTipText of ButtonTool1 to <the caption or whatever other text you want to describe the button> + " (" + TypeDescriptor.GetConverter( typeof( Keys ) ).ConvertToString( (Keys)Shortcut.CtrlS ) + ")".
3. If the code handling ButtonTool1's click is in the main ToolClick event handler:
a. Move the code handling the ButtonTool1 click from the ToolClick event handler into its own method.
b. Add a call to the new ButtonTool1 click handler method when the code was in the ToolClick event handler.
4. Override ProcessDialogKey in your form with the following code:
protected override bool ProcessDialogKey( Keys keyData ){ if ( keyData == (Keys)Shortcut.CtrlS ) { // Call ButtonTool1 click handler method return true; }
return base.ProcessDialogKey( keyData );}
