StatusChanged Event

Designer actions represent the commands that are typically invoked from UI elements such as a toolbar or a menu. You can use the QueryAction methods to check the status of the changed action and update your custom UI elements.

C#

// ardMain_StatusChanged - runs with the status of the Designer has changed
// (button is pressed)

private void ardMain_StatusChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    for(int i=0;i<this.tbAlign.Buttons.Count;i++)
    {
        System.Windows.Forms.ToolBarButton tb = this.tbAlign.Buttons[i];
        if(tb.Tag != null)
        {
            //If Alignment toolbar button is pressed, call SetStatus()
            SetStatus (tb.Tag.ToString(),tb);    
        }
    }
    for(int i=0;i<this.tbFormat.Buttons.Count;i++)
    {
        System.Windows.Forms.ToolBarButton tb = this.tbFormat.Buttons[i];
        if(tb.Tag != null)
        {
            //if Format toolbar button is pressed, call SetStatus()
            SetStatus (tb.Tag.ToString(),tb);    
        }
    }

    //Update Menus and other toolbars
    StatusStandardToolbar();
    UpdateFormatMenus();
}
