Property Type
Read-only property
Syntax (Visual Basic)
Public Property TrackingMode() As Boolean
Remarks
When TrackingMode is True, the command bar will "eat" all keystrokes.
A command bar in the menu bar receives focus either when the mouse is used to click on a menu item or when the "Alt" key is pressed. When the command bar has focus, the left/right keys can be used to navigate the menu. The TrackingModeChanged event will occur each time a popup menu is displayed.
A toolbar can receive focus by first clicking the "Expand" button, then using the left/right keys to navigate the toolbar buttons.
Command Bars TrackingMode is similar to get/lost focus. When a command bar receives focus, the TrackingModeChanged event is fired with a pointer to the currently focused FocusedCommandBar, and TrackingMode will be True. When the command bar loses focus, then the TrackingModeChanged event is fired with TrackingMode returning False.
