Custom tools/icons in toolbars in submenus

[HQue]

Hello there, ,

could someone tell me what I would have to change in cParent and cRbParent in addSubMenu() and addMenuItem() in a custom tool in order to get my icon/tool displayed here:
Format - Text Editing Tools

Code: Select all

app.addSubMenu({ cName: "symbolsTR", cUser: "Alpha", cParent: "-", cRbParent: "Format", bNewRbGroup: true, nRbGroupStyle: 2 });

app.addMenuItem( {
	cName: "alpha",
	cUser: "Alpha",
	oIcon: alphaIcon,
	cTooltext: "",
        cParent: "Format",
        cRbParent: "rbar.format.properties", // add to comment tools on home ribbon
	cEnable: "event.rc = (this.selectedAnnots?.length)",
	cExec: "executeAlphaFct(this)"
});

Thanks in advance!

Hello, HQue

I am unsure if this is possible, given the context sensitivity of the Format ribbons, and their lack of presence when the corresponding tools are not in use... I have asked the Dev team for details on if and how this is possible, and will let you know as soon as I have heard back from them.

Kind regards,

[HQue]

That would be great, thank you!!

Hello, HQue

I am sorry to say that they have confirmed this. At the moment there is no way to define the dynamic "Format" tabs, as a target for JS button placement. You will need to use a different, "static" Ribbon tab to store those buttons.

Kind regards,

Okay, that's a pitty but thanks a lot for the answer and the time for investigating!
