I'm trying to find a way to add a custom button to my ribbon that will launch a global rule or form using VB. I know of a way using VBA but I want to get away from VBA. I'd much rather create an add with VB and use that.
I'm currently running IV 2012.
Cheers!
Hi,
The code of VBA is similar to VB.NET, you can just copy to .NET and adjust a bit to make it work. As to creating a button, I’d suggest you have a look at this training material on addin basic.

Since Inventor has supported free-registry (which is much more convenient) , one blog is worth reading:
