Toolbar MouseOver equivalent event

[Sam Horton]

What event is firing when the user hovers the mouse over a toolbar item? I'd like to trap it and have the same event fire on another toolbar item.

The BarItem.Selected event will be fired when a mouse hovers over a toolbar item.

I didn't get the other part: same event fire of another toolbar item?

I'm trying to mimic the behavior of the Outlook 2002 toolbar item shown in the attachment. Any suggestions much appreciated!

(I also asked the wrong question -- I see the selected event fire; what event is firing when the button is no longer selected and can I intercept it?)

The ParentBarItem's Tooltip and ImageIndex property should be updated based on the context. The framework will then take care of showing the tooltip and the right image for you.

Yes, and it does when changed.

The difference is in behavior. By default if one clicks any part of the button the list drops down; I'm going to write code to change that so that it behaves like the Outlook 2002 control.

Sam,

Set the ParentBarItem's ParentStyle to ParentBarItemStyle.DropDown.

This will give you the Outlook style behavior.
