Change Image When Disabled

[Russ]

What is the best way (or is there a way) to swap images when a RadImageButtonElement is on the ribbonbar.  We would also like to keep the text the same color but have the control be disabled with a different image.

Hello Russ,

Thank you for writing.

You can swap images in RadImageButtonElement EnabledChanged event. If you want to discard the default disabled paint you have to set UseDefaultDisabledPaint to false. Please, consider the following code:

this.radImageButtonElement1.UseDefaultDisabledPaint = false;

void radImageButtonElement1_EnabledChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radImageButtonElement1.Enabled)
    {
        this.radImageButtonElement1.Image = global::ButtonImageAlignment.Properties.Resources.enabledImg;
    }
    else
    {
        this.radImageButtonElement1.Image = global::ButtonImageAlignment.Properties.Resources.disabledImg;
    }
}

Do not hesitate to contact me again if you have other questions.

All the best,
