Windows phone disable application bar button

Windows phone disable application bar button

So, what is my problem ? I have a popup, and when i open it, i want to disable current page in my windows phone applications. so i make this this.IsEnabled = false; But my ApplicationBar is still available. Of course i try with ApplicationBar.IsMenuEnabled = false; My next idea was to do something like this:

for (int i = 0; i < ApplicationBar.MenuItems.Count; i++) { ((ApplicationBarMenuItem)ApplicationBar.Buttons[i]).IsEnabled = false; }

...and still no result. I'm sure that some is done that before, can you show me how?

Just include the using Microsoft.Phone.Shell to pickup the namespace within your .cs file and you can do the following:

ApplicationBar.Enable(); 

and

ApplicationBar.Disable();

The application bar consists of a Buttons collection and MenuItems collection. For your example you would want to try something like

foreach (var button in ApplicationBar.Buttons) {     ((ApplicationBarIconButton) button).IsEnabled = false; // disables the button }  ApplicationBar.IsMenuEnabled = false; // this will prevent menu from opening 

if this isn't working, have you considered hiding the App bar?
ApplicationBar.IsVisible = false;

Unfortunately, according to this post there is a bug which means that setting the IsEnabled property of an ApplicationBarMenuItem does not get honoured until the menu is closed and re-opened.
