Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Pushed, and PartialPush properties. To run the example, paste the following code in a form containing a RichTextBox control called RichTextBox1.Call the InitializeToolBar method in the form's constructor or Load method.

   // Declare ToolBar1.
internal:
   System::Windows::Forms::ToolBar^ ToolBar1;

private:

   // Initialize ToolBar1 with Bold(B), Italic(I), and 
   // Underline(U) buttons.
   void InitializeToolBar()
   {
      ToolBar1 = gcnew ToolBar;
      
      // Set the appearance to Flat.
      ToolBar1->Appearance = ToolBarAppearance::Flat;
      
      // Set the toolbar to dock at the bottom of the form.
      ToolBar1->Dock = DockStyle::Bottom;
      
      // Set the toolbar font to 14 points and bold.
      ToolBar1->Font = gcnew System::Drawing::Font( FontFamily::GenericSansSerif,14,FontStyle::Bold );
      
      // Declare fontstyle array with the three font styles.
      array<FontStyle>^ fonts = {FontStyle::Bold,FontStyle::Italic,FontStyle::Underline};
      int count;
      
      // Create a button for each value in the array, setting its 
      // text to the first letter of the style and its 
      // button's tag property.
      for ( count = 0; count < fonts->Length; count++ )
      {
         ToolBarButton^ fontButton = gcnew ToolBarButton( fonts[ count ].ToString()->Substring( 0, 1 ) );

      }

Remarks

When PartialPush is set to true, the toolbar button appears to have its face grayed. This appearance is different from the dimmed appearance when the Enabled property is set to false since the partial-push appearance gives a haze to the entire button face. This property has no effect unless the ToolBarButtonStyle is set to ToggleButton.
