Disabled MenuButton doesnt reflect its state in its icon

[jan.swaelens]

Hello,

We have this case where a disabled menu item still has an enabled looking icon, we would expect this to be visually reflected too in a disabled looking icon (eg add_Disabled.png is our example.

	public Canvas getViewPanel() {
		
		String ICON_SKIN_ACTION_ADD = "[SKINIMG]/actions/add.png";
		
		RibbonBar bar = new RibbonBar();
		RibbonGroup group = new RibbonGroup();
		group.setNumRows(1);
		group.setTitle("Group");
		group.setRowHeight(76);
		
		IconMenuButton button = new IconMenuButton("Add");
		button.setIcon(ICON_SKIN_ACTION_ADD);
		button.setLargeIcon(ICON_SKIN_ACTION_ADD);
		button.setOrientation("vertical");
		group.addControl(button);
		
		Menu menu = new Menu();
		button.setMenu(menu);
		
		MenuItem item1 = new MenuItem("Add Before");
		item1.setIcon(ICON_SKIN_ACTION_ADD);
		item1.setEnabled(false);
		menu.addItem(item1);
		
		bar.addMember(group);
		
		final VLayout v = new VLayout();
		v.setOverflow(Overflow.VISIBLE);
		v.addMember(bar);
		
		return v;
	}

Can we achieve this functionality somehow, is this a bug or isn't this supposed to be working as we expect?

We are on v9.0p_2013-10-27.

thanks

The property showDisabledIcon (inherited from Button) controls whether a distinct image is shown for the disabled state.

Hello,

Yes indeed, but its default value is also true - but the item where we expect the disabled icon is an instance of MenuItem where I can not set such a setting.
Please advise. I uploaded a screenshot to make it a bit clearer what we actually mean.

thanks

Same property on MenuItem - showDisabledIcon, inherited from ListGridField.

Hello,

Since there is no setter for that property we added it as follows, but still it is not showing the 'add_Disabled.png' icon as we would expect.

		MenuItem item1 = new MenuItem("Add Before");
		item1.setIcon("[SKINIMG]/actions/add.png");
		item1.setEnabled(false);
		item1.setAttribute("showDisabledIcon", "true");
		menu.addItem(item1);

thanks

Sorry, to clarify, a Menu is a ListGrid with default fields.

The iconField needs showDisabledIcon set on it in order for MenuItems to show disabled icons.
