user macro as ToolbarItem

[Anonymous]

Public Sub add_tlbButton()
Dim tbb As AutoCAD.AcadToolbarItem
Set tbb = Application.MenuGroups("ACAD").Toolbars("Standard
Toolbar").AddToolbarButton(0, "bimbo", "bimbo!!!", Chr(3) & Chr(3) & Chr(95)
& "open" & Chr(32)) 'this version works
Set tbb = Nothing
End Sub

Public Sub remove_tlbButton()
Application.MenuGroups("ACAD").Toolbars("Standard
Toolbar").Item("bimbo").Delete
End Sub


so, this version of add_tlbButton works but it only works for intrinsic
functions like _open, when i try to place my_function_name as the macro name
it errs out with 'unknown command...'

?

I placed a call to a custom lisp routine in place of "open" and it worked
fine.

you need to use the _vbarun command, then specifiy the macro name like module1.myMacro, or the path to the macro like:
C:\ProjectsX\$VBER1\$VBmicroLandscape\VBAconversions\Editing\LayerStandardEnforcer.dvb!Module1.Main, then you can run a macro that is in a vba module.

here is a commandbutton in a toolbar macro to show a form from vba: this is in the "macro associated with this button" , macro property of my toolbar button:

-vbarun module1.showform1

thanks, that works
but now i'm wondering why so many calls - isn't there a more direct solution
?

probably not, since lisp is loaded and becomes a "command" in the commandline sense, you could probably make a lisp routine that did that exact same command line commnd -
(defun C:EL ()
(command "-vbarun" "module.macroname")


vbarun, etc thing then call that from a single word or character at the command line, but you would have to have the lisp loaded. just be glad you're not stuck in version 11, hehe
