Issues with .NET

[Shelly]

Hi

I understand that there is nothing like disabled image list in toolbar of
VB.NET
Also, there is no placeholder button on it.
Why have these features been removed. Any plans of MS to incorporate them in
future versions of .NET?

Regards.

I don't know why they have been removed, but you can take a look here if
they are reintrodiced in .NET 2.0:

<http://longhorn.msdn.microsoft.com/> -> Search "ToolBar".

What do you mean, "disabled image list"? You mean like specifying a seperate
image list for the disabled look of the button's image? Don't think so. When
you disable a button in .NET it automatically generates a disabled-looking
version of your icon, which seems to be basically an embossed version of the
outline of all the non-transparent pixels. The thought is that you don't
need to bother to create them yourself. And what's a placeholder button?

The "embossed" image sometimes looks really ugly, especially when used
with Windows XP Visual Styles. Windows (for example the Internet
Explorer) uses a grayscale version of the image there.
