TrackingModeChanged Event

Description

Occurs when the command bars tracking mode has changed. Tracking mode is similar to get/lost focus for a command bar.

Syntax

Public Event TrackingModeChanged( _
    ByVal [CommandBar](XtremeCommandBars~CommandBar.md) As CommandBar, _
    ByVal [Mode](#) As Boolean _
)

Parameters

  • CommandBar
    Command Bar that currently has focus.

  • Mode
    Returns True if the CommandBar has received focus.
    Returns False if the CommandBar has lost focus.

Remarks

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 CommandBar and Mode will be True. When the command bar loses focus, then the TrackingModeChanged is fired with Mode returning False.

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 tool bar can receive focus by first clicking the "Expand" button, then using the left/right keys to navigate the tool bar buttons.

When Mode is True, the command bar will "eat" all key strokes.
