add revit buttons to new addin

[Anonymous]

Hi, this I suppose is a very novate question but don't find code in C# about it,

I'd like to add button like "link cad" "link revit" or export > "Cad formats" to an addin, this way make easy to me access to this functionality.

I appreciate any help, tnx!

Something like the image attach.

Hi, tnx for answer, but I already do that in a custom tab, what Id like to do is: add actually revit button in my tab,not create a custom button for custom functionality.

or if I need to add a custom button, there is some code, to make exactly the same actions of the button?, i mean, for example:
if you click: Insert> link revit.
then call file chooser and when select file, and link it when accept

Regards!

Hi! tnx for answer, but I already can add custom buttons and tabs, but I'd like to add to add the button that already exist in Revit inside my custom tab.

I've seen some tutorials where I can add custom buttons to existing tabs, I want to do the otherwise, add existing buttons to custom tab.

I attached an image with the idea

you can try using :

• AdWindows.dll
• UIFramework.dll
  read about it more here:

with that you should get accesses to a default tabs and ribbons.

I would just have the push button run a PostCommand.  Here is something I use to run the sync button command from my button on my tab in the Ribbon.  I use it to control who is syncing by creating a sync queue and when the model is available it run the sync for the user.   

RevitCommandId syncCmdId = RevitCommandId.LookupPostableCommandId(PostableCommand.SynchronizeAndModifySettings);
 
uiapp.PostCommand( syncCmdId );
