Adding Standard Controls to Ribbon with ribbonlib

[Harald Altendorfer]

I am new to the Ribbon Interface of Mapinfo. However i have used Mapinfo and since Version 2.

My question:

Is it possible to add controls of other ribbons, especially M_TOOLS_SELECTOR to my cutsom ribbon strip.

I read through this forum and was enlighted pretty well, but did not figure out how to do that.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, that’s possible.

You basically add a button control as if you were adding a button that would call your custom procedure.

But instead of calling a MBX handler it will call a Command ID:

 

nCtrlIDx    = RBNGroupAddButton ("btnSelector", "Select", "", sTabName, sGroupName)

If nCtrlIDx > 0 Then

   Call RBNControlSetToolTipIdx(nCtrlIDx, "Selector", "Select features", "")

   Call RBNControlSetIconsIdx(nCtrlIDx, CONTROL_SIZE_LARGE, "", MI_IMG_MAP_SELECT_32)

   Call RBNControlSetCmdIDIdx (nCtrlIDx, M_TOOLS_SELECTOR)

End If

 

Where MI_IMG_MAP_SELECT_32 is a define from the MI_ICONS_X64.def:

Define MI_IMG_MAP_MARQUEESELECT_32                    "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Mapping/marqueeSelect_32x32.png"

Thank you for response, was very helpful.

I found a little workaround, prior to your post, despite it is not really elegant. ;-)
I wrote an procedure and called e.g. "Run Menu Command M_TOOLS_SELECTOR" and then called the custom proecdure.

This group and especially you are very helpful.

Thanks again
Harald
