    I've tried numerous times to create a dll. I've gotten some help 3years ago see: http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=109604 However that actually never worked for me, does anyone have any help (with pics).

     

    Kind Regards,

    Here you are.

    Check doc first from dll.zip.

    Why dll  ? - depending on actions is code the access to Robot is \ may be a few times (~5) faster than by exe file

    Rafal,

     

    Is there a way to add "bottons" to the Robot GUI?

     ie to install an add-in that can be used via clicking on a button rather than using a pull down menu?

     

    Tony

    Add-ins are addd only to Add-Ins menu. You can not assign any button to them. Only keyboard shortcuts.

    Thanks Romanich.  Yes I already use Hotkeys.  But we're thinking of rolling out some applications across the company that would be accessed by many users.  Hence buttons.  Thanks for the hint though.  Havn't seen you on here for a while hope you had a good new year

    Thanks, we will have to stick to menu.  Wish list for buttons?
