ButtonDefinition vrs ControlDefinition

[dennis]

I have found that when creating an Inventor GUI Popup using RibbonPanel.CommandControls.AddButtonPopup, the 

ObjectCollection buttonDefs = m_inventorApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection() collection can contain the ButtonDefinition(s) or ControlDefinition(s).  Is there any reason to choose one over the other?  The ControlDefinition setup is an extra step, so I would opt for "keeping it simple" and use the ButtonDefinition unless there is a code preference someone knows of.

@dennis,

Basically, ButtonDefinition is derived from control definitions as shown in below image. It means that all ButtonDefinitions are also ControlDefinitons.

Please feel free to contact if there is any queries.

Thanks and regards,
