How to highlight items by code in ApplicationMenu WPF

Question
-
I have a Xamribbon control, in which I have an ApplicationMenu with several MenuTool's as you can view in the code:
<igWPF:XamRibbon Theme="Onyx" IsMinimized="False" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top" IsEnabled="True" > <igWPF:XamRibbon.ApplicationMenu > <igWPF:ApplicationMenu UseLargeImages="True" Opened="ApplicationMenuOpened" Closed="ApplicationMenuClosed" > <igWPF:MenuTool Caption="Prueba 1" LargeImage="/Imagenes/Bullet_check.png"> <igWPF:LabelTool Caption="Prueba 1"/> <igWPF:MenuTool Caption="Prueba 1" LargeImage="/Imagenes/Bullet_check.png"> <igWPF:ToggleButtonTool Caption="Prueba 1" SmallImage="/Imagenes/Bullet_check.png" /> </igWPF:MenuTool> </igWPF:MenuTool> <igWPF:MenuTool Caption="Prueba 2" LargeImage="/Imagenes/Bullet_check.png"> <igWPF:LabelTool Caption="Prueba 2"/> <igWPF:MenuTool Caption="Prueba 2" LargeImage="/Imagenes/Bullet_check.png"> <igWPF:ToggleButtonTool Caption="Prueba 2" SmallImage="/Imagenes/Bullet_check.png"/> </igWPF:MenuTool> </igWPF:MenuTool> <igWPF:MenuTool Caption="Prueba 3" LargeImage="/Imagenes/Bullet_check.png"> <igWPF:LabelTool Caption="Prueba 3"/> <igWPF:MenuTool Caption="Prueba 3" LargeImage="/Imagenes/Bullet_check.png"> <igWPF:ToggleButtonTool Caption="Prueba 3" SmallImage="/Imagenes/Bullet_check.png"/> </igWPF:MenuTool> </igWPF:MenuTool> </igWPF:ApplicationMenu> </igWPF:XamRibbon.ApplicationMenu > </igWPF:XamRibbon>
As you can check, at the end of each
MenuTool
there is aToggleButtonTool
, which is supposed to represent an external application.My point is that, each time I add a new
MenuTool
with its correspondingToggleButtonTool
, I need all the path gets highlighted (from outerMenuTool
to theToggleButtonTool
), in the same way a Windows does in the system start menu when a new application is installed (next image would be exactly what I need each time ApplicationMenu is opened):I tried to do this by turning the "
IsChecked
" property to true, but this action only highlight the icon area, and not the wholeMenuTool
orToggleButtonTool
item. though the way to get it would be setting true the "IsMouseOver
" property, but it is an 'only read' property.
I have also tried to change background color of the items, but it is not working.
Anyone has done something similar and could help me, please? I have tried to attach some images to clarify my case, but it is the first time I post so I haven't the required reputation to do it. If you require further information please ask me :)
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Seltaeb88,
I have noticed that XamRibbon was a third-party, WPF forum of Microsoft would not support it. Please post a new thread in its official website. Here is the link: http://www.infragistics.com/community/forums/198.aspx
Thank you for your understanding.
