Thanks Dimitar,

I see that your code is working, but it seems that there is something weird when I run mine

I'm sure that the code goes thru' (pls see attachment), the button stat seems to be enabled (as status) but it seems that the ribbon do not update the status (you can see from the attachment

(the app I'm working with is big so it's not easy to reproduce it)

Do you have any idea?

Thanks

Hi Alberto,

Thank you for the reply.

The only suggestions I can think of that may cause this is if there is some code that reverts the value back to false after the select statement or if the tool that you enable is not the tool that you expect (I see from the screenshot that the captions match, but the keys maybe be different). In order to make sure that none of these things causes the issue you can change the caption:

Select Case e.Tab.Key

            Case Is = 1

                PreviewButton.SharedProps.Enabled = True

                PreviewButton.SharedProps.Caption = "Button Enabled"

            Case Else

                PreviewButton.SharedProps.Enabled = False

                PreviewButton.SharedProps.Caption = "Button Disabled”

        End Select

If the caption changes then you are setting the enabled property on the correct button.

Also please add a button to the tab where the button should be enabled and in its click event check if the enabled property of the button is still true.

If you set the Enabled property on the correct tool and it is not reverted after this, I can’t really think of any other reason for the issue. Maybe you could copy your real project and strip all the parts that are unnecessary to reproduce the issue and send it to me. Then I will be able to identify what is the exact cause of the issue.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks Dimitar

even if I add the caption property changing and even if the code is going thru' it, the ribbon does not move

In the same pont I also looped thru all the buttons in a msgbox, but it seems that it is the ribbon that do not update

I can send you the whole code, but I'd prefer not in a public area. Do you have an email address or similar where I can send a zip file?

Many thanks

Alberto
