blank toolbar buttons

[dbroada]

How do I create "blank" toolbar buttons?

 

Using the CUI I can drag buttons from one toolbar to another to copy them but they remain linked. A change to one changes the other. How do I create a brand new button that I can add my code to?

So... you want to use a preexisting button image for a new command/macro? Or a new button image and a new command/macro?

I want a new button that I can put my new code behind.

 

I rarely use buttons so its not really a problem but I am distributing my new toolbar around the office and we have more newbys who do use buttons. One day I'm going to redefine something important.

This link and the attached screenshot should help some with the images. The first circle is the 'new command' button; name the command, specify the code to run, then specify a saved image (.bmp) for the button.

If you open the CUI in the bottom left pane under the magnifying glass there is a button with a star and an asterix as symbol. If you click on that it creates a new command (blank button). It is advisable to rename it and its name starting with an underline so that always is at the top of the command list. You can drag this blank button to where you want it and fill in the blanks, so to say.

Thanks, I have just found that and have just finished my screenshot, came back to post it and there was your reply!

 

Still, its far nicer for somebody else to answer than be here just talking to myself.

those thanks were for bgingerich. Tyke could have answered back when he was thinking about beers at Easter.

I was going to send you a screen shot, but its all in German and we don't want to get into trouble with the mods about not posting in English, or confuse BB.

With regard to mnu toolbars try this export your new CUI rename it to be a .ZIP double click it, contains lots of stuff but the cuis in the list now are plain text and you can see all the icon labels and commands etc look in menugroup.cui
