Workflow overview

A new button can be added to the ribbon in three steps.

Edit iLogic commands user interface

Rule selection (1)

In the Select Rules section, a new (empty) iLogic rule definition can be added to the list or removed from the list (Add/Remove buttons) below the list.

Setting up the button properties (2)

For the new iLogic rule definition, at least a path to the rule and display name has to be specified.

Rule/file name - Contains the name of an imported external iLogic rule or a full path to an external iLogic file. The latter option is recommended.

Icon file - Contains the full path to the .ico file. This file must contain 16x16 and 32x32 px icons. Keep it empty to use the default iLogic icon.

Display name - Contains a button label to be visible in the user interface.

Description - Contains a description of the command. (Optional)

Tooltip - Contains the text visible when hovering the mouse over the command button.

Specification of a button location (3)

Finally, a location for the button has to be specified. The iLogic rule/command can have multiple user interface locations specified. A new button instance can be created using the Add button command, and then it has to be configured.

Add button - Creates a new button instance in the ribbon interface.

Remove button - Removes the selected button instance.

Insert automatically - Creates a small button on the default Add-Ins tab. When checked, other options are not available.

Ribbon, Tab, Panel - The exact location of the button can be specified here.

Command control, Insert before - Specifies a precise position of the button in the ribbon panel relative to the selected command. When empty, the button is placed at the end of the ribbon panel.

Large button - When checked, the large button is created.

Show text - Show/hide the display name of the button.
