Hi all,
I applaud the addition of the new toolbarTab UI API - but, unless I've totally missed something, it feels like it's gone off half cocked. With great fanfare you elude to the use of the tabbed UI in a contextual mode, although it's not obvious how that is achievable with the new API. If anyone has any ideas how this can be achieved I'd love to hear.
Ideally you should be able to create an AddIn that behaves just like the sketch mode does in the design workspace. That is, from the API -
- determine which tab is currently active,
- make the AddIn tab (or any other tab for that matter) visible and active,
- restore the previously active tab and switch off visibility of the AddIn tab.
As far as I've been able to determine most of these capabilities are not presently available in the API, but I've been known to be wrong before.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not an expert, but I know enough to be very, very dangerous.
