NX85 - ON-OFF Button on Toolbar ?

NX85 - ON-OFF Button on Toolbar ?

(OP)
Is there a way to define an ON-OFF button on a user toolbar (like i.e. the "Clip Work Section" one) ?

RE: NX85 - ON-OFF Button on Toolbar ?

The 'Toggle' (ON-OFF) behavior of the calling 'icon' is controlled by the coding of the function itself. It's not part of the definition of the toolbar or its icons. In other words, there is nothing that you can do using the interactive 'Customize' tools to control this behavior when creating your own user-defined toolbar and the User Commands that you add to it.

RE: NX85 - ON-OFF Button on Toolbar ?

Hello,

I think it is possible because we use it smile

we have a MEN file (MenuScript) that uses something like:

TOGGLE_BUTTON identifier
LABEL label
MESSAGE tooltip message
BITMAP bitmap file
VALUE Default value (OFF or ON)
ACTIONS Action definition

that's for Initial configuration. In the custom Action (e.g. Journal) you could use "NXOpen.MenuBar.MenuButton.ToggleStatus" to control the Status. (I don't use it)

regards,
SchellenbergJ
