Hi Sergey,

To achieve the design pattern i want, I have to either customize appearance of adxieCommandItem or use third party control.
( You have mentioned in previous post (posted by me using sematiqueweb's id) that i can use any third party controls. ).

Now when i try to drag and drop my control it doesnt show up in toolbar (custom button).
Could you please guide me process of using third party controls in toolbar.

Thanks
Vincent

Hi Vincent.

Do you drag-n-drop controls within a custom toolbar?

Vincent, you can customize the IE command bar via the Customize Toolbar dialog in IE (right click on the command bar and choose the customize option). Custom controls may not appear for the first time if IE Command bar has been previously customized (e.g. positions of some controls was changed). In this case you can reset the command bar via the Reset option of the Customize Toolbar dialog.

Hi Sergey,

I think i didnt explain it properly, sorry. What i mean to say is, adxieCommandItem can show only one icon. I want to place there couple of images and some text. with current situation i can show something like

And i want to change it to show two images side by side and some text. So as per your advice in previous post ( http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=10&TID=7405 ) I created a custom control which looks like

User added an image

Now i want this custom control to appear as command button in toolbar ( instead on adxieCommandItem in first image).

Could you please guide me how i can achieve this?

Thanks
Vincent

Vincent, you didn't understand me correctly. I meant custom controls on a custom toolbar and not the IE Command Bar.
It is not possible to achieve what you want. Script buttons (ADXIECommandItem component) don't support such a functionality.
