hi

can we post feature requests?
i've tested your product and i miss a feature

what i like to see is:
customizable id of commandbar buttons

e.g. we have some cusomized styles and 5 buttons at a toolbar to set them

a button with id 2321 will change the style where the parameter is the name of the new style

You can try the Parameter property to do this.
Look at ADX Class Refernce to get more details.

ok i found it...
i've missed the property "id" inside the designer... set it per code should work

what i try to do is something like this
object oMissing = Type.Missing;
int id = 2321;
parameter = "Standard";

CommandBar oCmdBar = ....; //init bar
CommandBarButton oButton;

oButton = (CommandBarButton) this.oCmdBar.Controls.Add(MsoControlType.msoControlButton, id, parameter, oMissing, oMissing);

propably I haven't understood you. Do you try to add a built-in button? What host do you use?

ok, let me explain:

the host i am using is word

what i want to do is adding a new commandbar with some buttons to set a specified paragraph style

in word there is a built in command for this wich is called by a button with the id 2321

as parameter you have to specify the name of the style

for example a button with id = 2321 and parameter = "Standard" will set the style to "Standard" for the selected paragraph

i need this because in our companyy there are a lot of documents who uses some predefined styles (font=arial,12pt...)
and to make things very simple we provide a toolbar with buttons for each of the style

Aha... I.e. you want to add a button with id 2321 and use its parameter to pass style names. Ok, I see.

I thought you have to use the ADXBuildInControl class but as I see now you can simply use ADXCommandBar and its buttons.

good you understand me now :)

however there is no property named id inside the designer, perhaps you can add it in a feature version with standard id = 1 :)

You are adding a new button to command bar and handle it to do a custom action (applying some style specified by the button parameter). But I cannot understand why you use its Id.

because word will perform the action for me when the button has the id 2321 (word will set the style to the one where name == parameter)

so i don't need to attach an eventhandler

what i will do is add a new button to a commandbar wich is doing a word internal action (specified by the id of the button)
Best regards,

I see. I have just spoken with ADX developers. Currently there is no way to add any built-in control to the ADXCommandBar.Controls collection.

I think they need one or two days to fix this problem and I will let you know about the result.

Thank you for your request.
