How to change button displayname

[bradeneuropeArthur]

How can I change the displayname/text of a button or other solution.

The displayname object is readonly...

You could simulate this by deleting the button and creating a new one. With the script below I made a button with a rolling text. (I did run this from an external application. I could not make it work from iLogic)

Sub main()

    Dim buttonText = "Rolling Button "

    Dim ribbon As Ribbon = ThisApplication.UserInterfaceManager.Ribbons.Item("Assembly")
    Dim ribbonTab As RibbonTab = ribbon.RibbonTabs.Item("id_TabManage")
    Dim ribbonPanel As RibbonPanel = ribbonTab.RibbonPanels.Item("iLogic.RibbonPanel")

    Dim rollingButtonTemp = CreateRollingButton(buttonText)
    Dim control = ribbonPanel.CommandControls.AddButton(rollingButtonTemp)

    Try
        For index1 = 1 To 10
            For index = 0 To buttonText.Length

                Dim part1 = buttonText.Substring(0, index)
                Dim part2 = buttonText.Substring(index)
                buttonText = part2 + part1

                control.Delete()
                Dim rollingButton = CreateRollingButton(buttonText)
                control = ribbonPanel.CommandControls.AddButton(rollingButton)


                Thread.Sleep(500)
            Next
        Next

    Catch ex As Exception

    End Try

    control.Delete()
End Sub

Private Function CreateRollingButton(txt As String)
    Dim conDefs As ControlDefinitions = ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions
    Return conDefs.AddButtonDefinition(
        txt,
        "MyButton InternalName" + Guid.NewGuid.ToString(),
        CommandTypesEnum.kEditMaskCmdType,
        Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
        "MyButton DescriptionText",
        "MyButton ToolTipText")
End Function

Same thought. I was searching for something else. But I think indeed this is the only option.

Thanks for confirmation and you helping hand.
