Is it possible to access an adxCommandBar from a windowsform window?

I would like to enable/disable a button in a commandbar from a form at runtime. Can it be done?


Thanks,

Lars Hjort

Hi Lars.

Yes, of course. You can use the CommandBarByName function of the AddinModule to access your command bar. To access a control on your command bar you can use the GetControlByTag or GetControlByControlTag functions of the ADXCommandBarControlCollection class (the Controls property of the ADXCommandBar component).

If I try from a windows form with code like this: 

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Dim addin As New AddinModule
        Dim ADXCommandBar As AddinExpress.MSO.ADXCommandBar
        Dim ADXCommandBarButton As AddinExpress.MSO.ADXCommandBarButton


        ADXCommandBar = addin.CommandBarByName("AdxCommandBar1")

        ADXCommandBarButton = ADXCommandBar.Controls.GetControlByControlTag("02273f8e-bb6b-48c8-a07b-9e7ac36b0a3e")

        ADXCommandBarButton.Enabled = True


    End Sub



It fails?Â?Ð??
