Accessing and modifying toolbar items in IC616

RK56

Hi,

Problem 1:

I have followed the Solution Article 11478824  to create a toolbar in layout window. Now I need to access the items of toolbar and I have used hiGetToolbarObjName function to do that. But I'm looking for a generic way to access the items something like this

csToolbarGetElement(element) ;;;;;where element is a string which points to one of the toolbar item

csToolbarGetElement(element)~>value ;;;;;should return the value of the element

Problem 2:

I have created few subActions and a comboFiled to list the subActions. Whenever I select any subAction, I need to change the icon of the comboFiled. For example, I'm looking for a implementation similar to Options Toolbar -> Edit Snap Mode in layout window. Whenever I change the snap mode, the icon of the combo file changes notifying the user the present mode.

Please free to ask question in case I have not explained my need clearly.

Thanks

Ramakrishnan

  • Hi Andrew,

    I figured a similar way for problem 1. But I guess I have not mentioned clearly my problem 2. Let me re ask the question

    Background: A combo field will have an icon and a pulldown of subactions. Each subaction will have their own icons. Now I click the dropdown and pick a subaction. I want the icon on the combo field to change to reflect/notify the user what subaction has been selected. This is happening with Edit snap mode action list.

    Question: Should I manually modify the hiIcon of the combo field or is there any automatic process that changes the icon of the combo field according to the subaction?

    Thanks
