Hello ,

The style (i.e. solid vs dashed) of the MenuItemSeparator is based off of the UltraToolbarsManager’s resolved Style (ToolbarStyle). So you could use DrawFilter in order to change the style of MenuItemSeparator.  The other separator, which you mentioned is actually is GrabHangler and you could modify it setting this.ultraToolbarsManager1.ToolbarSettings.GrabHandleStyle

To change the color of the FloatingToolbarBorder is to use a DrawFilter to resolve the BackColor of the FloatingToolbarCaption UIRole, and assign it to the drawParams.AppearanceData.

        #region IUIElementDrawFilter Members

        public bool DrawElement(DrawPhase drawPhase, ref UIElementDrawParams drawParams)

        {

            if (drawParams.Element is FloatingToolbarUIElement)

            {

                AppearancePropFlags flags = AppearancePropFlags.BackColor;

                AppearanceData data = new AppearanceData();

                UIRole role = this.ultraToolbarsManager1.ComponentRole.GetRole(134);

                role.ResolveAppearance(ref data, ref flags, RoleState.Normal);

                if (data.HasPropertyBeenSet(AppearancePropFlags.BackColor))

                    drawParams.AppearanceData.BackColor = data.BackColor;

            }

            return false;

        }

        public DrawPhase GetPhasesToFilter(ref UIElementDrawParams drawParams)

        {

            if (drawParams.Element is FloatingToolbarUIElement)

                return DrawPhase.BeforeDrawBackColor;

            return DrawPhase.None;

        }

        #endregion

I have implemented this suggestions in a small sample, please run  the sample and let me know if this is what you are looking for.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you again for your help.

I pushed a step forward getting the same appearance of the selected item in the NavigatorDialog with this code:

  Private Sub ForceNavigatorSettingsSelectedItemAppearance()

    Dim appearanceData As Infragistics.Win.AppearanceData

    Dim requestedProps As Infragistics.Win.AppearancePropFlags

    Dim firstTool As PopupToolBase = Nothing

    For Each tool As ToolBase In Me.UltraToolbarsManager.Tools

      If (TypeOf tool Is Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.PopupMenuTool) Then

        firstTool = DirectCast(tool, PopupToolBase)

        Exit For

      End If

    Next

    If (Not firstTool Is Nothing) Then

      appearanceData = New Infragistics.Win.AppearanceData()

      requestedProps = Infragistics.Win.AppearancePropFlags.AllRender

      firstTool.ResolveAppearance(appearanceData, requestedProps, True, False)

      Me.UltraDockManager.NavigatorSettings.SelectedItemAppearance = New Infragistics.Win.Appearance(appearanceData)

    End If

  End Sub

Hello ,

I noticed that the tip suggested for the continuous line as menu item separator disappears when you are hovering the menu item above, if it has its own icon. Maybe the continuous line should be drawn a pixel lower.

Hello ,

How exactly you are calculating the location of  the line ? I have review your code sniped of previous post and I have noticed that you were calling DrawPopupMenuItemSeparator(drawPhase, drawParams) which draws your menu separator, but it doesn’t show how exactly the location is calculating. If you look into the sample which I have posted you will noticed that I am using location of the parent element, in order to calculate position of the item separator and in my sample the separator doesn’t disappear if you hover onto item above

Here is the code snippet for calculating of position of item separator

UIElement par = drawParams.Element.Parent;

                UIElement prev = par.ChildElements[par.ChildElements.IndexOf(drawParams.Element) - 1].GetDescendant(typeof(TextUIElement));

                Point EndPoint = prev.Rect.Location;

                EndPoint.Offset(prev.Rect.Width - 1, prev.Rect.Height);

                Point StartPoint = prev.Rect.Location;

                StartPoint.Offset(1, prev.Rect.Height);

                drawParams.Graphics.DrawLine(separatorPan, StartPoint, EndPoint);

                ret =  true;

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

First version of the code snippet drew the line just at the top of the previous item, not below it. Second version fixed this issue. At now I made it more robust, asserting the previous item still exists, otherwise I don't draw anything. 

Thank you again for your support.
