VBBoolean = object.Follows As Boolean
C#.NETbool Boolean = object.Follows;
VC++VARIANT_BOOL Boolean = object->Follows;
VARIANT_BOOL Boolean = object->GetFollows();
CHRESULT object->get_Follows(VARIANT_BOOL* Boolean);

Put

VB.NETobject.Follows = Boolean As Boolean
VBobject.Follows = Boolean As Boolean
C#.NETbool object.Follows = Boolean;
VC++VARIANT_BOOL object->Follows = Boolean;
void object->PutFollows(VARIANT_BOOL Boolean);
CHRESULT object->put_Follows(VARIANT_BOOL Boolean);

object

A SftButton object.

Boolean

BooleanDescription
TrueIf the drop down button is pressed or released, the button portion is also displayed in the same position.
FalseIf the drop down button is pressed or released, this has no effect on the button portion.

Comments

The Follows property defines whether the button follows drop down button clicks.

The button and drop down button portion are usually independent, but using the Follows or DropDownFollows properties, one can mimic the state of the other.
