I want to implement the behavour like SF maintenance toolstrip to it. In order to reuse my code in casde i want to use other control as my maintenance toolbar in the future, I planned to write an controller/behavour class to control the logic.<br> <br> My current problem is, I need some way to access those button (ribbon control bar item/maintenance toolstrip button) in order to disable/enable them. I was thinking to have property to store object reference of each button accordingly. I used "control" as my property type. However, I might not able to access certain property that exist in toolbar button such as tooltiptext if I do so.<br> <br> Anyway I can "set" tyoe to property during runtime? I tried to take a look at generic, but I only see it work for List<T>. Is it?<br> <br> Ady ideas?<br> <br> Thank youWed, 13 Jun 2007 17:45:04 GMTChanhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost9551.aspxWell, I am not totally sure I understand what you are trying to do, but I would think that handling form events would be the way to go rather than storing off an object reference.&nbsp; This will ensure encapsulation as well as reusability.&nbsp; If you look, you will see that the SF forms have many of the same events as the BOs....they just cover all of the BOs on the form.&nbsp; Also, you will want to call the Save(), Add(), etc. on the SF form to get the same behaviour as the MaintenanceFormToolstrip.&nbsp; Just a few ideas.Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:45:04 GMTTrent L.
