Hello,
Is there a command to enable a custom button? I'm new to Javascript and I'm trying to create a button that toggles the entry helpers, but I only get a disabled button that cannot be clicked.
Here is the javascript code I use to create the button:
var ToolBarRow = objPlugIn.ToolbarRows.Item(1);
var Buttons = ToolBarRow.Buttons;
Buttons.NewCustomButton(25,'MyFunction','Toggles the entry helper panes', '/i/menu/pobcol_16x16.bmp');
objPlugIn.ReloadToolbars();
And here is the code in the remapped OnDocEditCommand handler:
if(objPlugIn.event.type == "command") {
if(objPlugIn.event.srcElement.Name == "MyFunction")
alert("You pressed my custom button!");
}
// event.type is set to "update" if the button state must be set
if(objPlugIn.event.type == "update") {
if(objPlugIn.event.srcElement.Name == "MyFunction") {
// we enable the button if only one element is selected
if(objPlugIn.CurrentSelection.Start.IsSameNode(objPlugIn.CurrentSelection.End))
objPlugIn.event.returnValue = 1;
else
objPlugIn.event.returnValue = 0;
objPlugIn.event.cancelBubble = true;
}
}
I don't actually see where the button is turned on or off.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Keith

Ok, someone I work with figured it out.
Apparantly the attachCallBack method should come before you build the button.
