Add command To button

[makepeace1]

This is my button

  Dim pan1button1 As New RibbonButton()
            pan1button1.Text = "STORE"
            pan1button1.ShowText = True
            pan1button1.ShowImage = True
            pan1button1.Image = Images.getBitmap(My.Resources.Store)
            pan1button1.LargeImage = Images.getBitmap(My.Resources.Store_L)
            pan1button1.Orientation = System.Windows.Controls.Orientation.Vertical
            pan1button1.Size = RibbonItemSize.Large
            pan1button1.CommandHandler = New RibbonCommandHandler

 I have had a look online but i can seem to find how i assign the macro to the button

The macro i want to use it

"^C^C_StoreTree "

Thanks in advance

Basically, you specify the CommandHandler and CommandParameter properties of a ribbon item (button, in your case):

pan1button1.CommandHandler= New MyRibbonCommandHandler()

pan1button1.CommandParameter="^C^C_StoreTree "

Then you implement ICommand interface

Public class MyRibbonCommandHandler

    Implement System.Windows.Input.ICommand

   Public Function CanExecute(...)

     ....

   End Function

   Public Event ....

   Public Sub Execute(parameter As Object) Implement....

     Dim doc As Document=Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument

     Dim riboonItem As RiboonCommandItem=TryCast(parameter, RibbonCommandItem)

     If ribbonItem IsNot Nothing Then

       doc.SendStringToExecute(ribbonItem.CommandParameter, True, False, True)

     End If

   End Sub

End class

Note the code here is just right off my head and entered through Visual Studio, not compiled, thus could have sytex error. Just meant to give you an idea how to do it.

I have just managed to get it sorted just before i got your message

I am using The button's ID to run the macro
(i have since added the ID to it )

and then is what i had further down

        Public Class RibbonCommandHandler
            Implements System.Windows.Input.ICommand


            Public Function CanExecute(ByVal parameter As Object) As Boolean Implements System.Windows.Input.ICommand.CanExecute
                Return True
            End Function

            Public Event CanExecuteChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Implements System.Windows.Input.ICommand.CanExecuteChanged


            Public Sub Execute(ByVal parameter As Object) Implements System.Windows.Input.ICommand.Execute
                Dim doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument

                If TypeOf parameter Is RibbonButton Then
                    Dim button As RibbonButton = TryCast(parameter, RibbonButton)
                    doc.SendStringToExecute(button.Id & " ", True, False, False)
                End If
            End Sub


        End Class

 I have just changed this line so that it looks form the button ID and then executes it

doc.SendStringToExecute(button.Id & " ", True, False, False)
