macro to activate/deactivate a button on customize toolbar

[winhthai]

I am looking for a Basic macro code to activate/deactivate a button (with assign macro) in customize toolbar.
Like "Form Controls" toolbar, when turning "Design Mode On/Off" button, some other buttons are activated while default is deactivated.
I appreciate it very much if somebody can help! Thank you.

Is there anybody can help? Thanks.

So you want to create toggle button. You have to implement css.frame.XDispatch interface to update the status of your toolbar button.
Once you implement it for your dispatch command, you can use some functions for complex toolbars. This means you need own UNO component implementation.

To change the state of your toggle button on some toolbar, set boolean value for State element of css.frame.FeatureStateEvent that passed to css.frame.XStatusListener::statusChanged method of control set through css.frame.XDispatch::addStatusListener method of your dispatcher.

Thanks for your sharing, Hanya!
Based on your guidance, I will try to look for css.frame.FeatureStateEvent code.
If possible, could you share some sample code so that I can implement it quickly?
Thank you so much.

There is an example for complex toolbar in SDK/examples/cpp/complextoolbarcontrols, and the document:

Please has anybody code for Basic (or Python)? Thanks a lot.

What exactly are you asking KamilLanda that isn't answered by the links in this ancient thread already?

There was an example/sample where someone put a dialog in a toolbar by setting the toolbar as its parent - so you can have whatever buttons you want and the same control over them that you have in any other dialog.

I can't find it unfortunately - maybe someone else can/remembers it...

I also looking for a Basic code.
But the link from RoryOF comment doesn't exists, and the link from Hanya is for C++.

Here it is:

But it is depended on BeanShell . Maybe it is not possible to create necessary Listeners in Basic, I don't know.

We're back to what you want to do? Do you want a toggle button? You can easily create a toolbar button to run a macro that changes the label on the toolbar button from "off" to "on" or something similar.

Edit:
It could be a label that is a unicode tick ballot box switching to an empty ballot box - something like that.

[KamilLanda]

Originally I hoped somebody has a code for complextoolbar (like in Hanya link for C++), but purely in Basic. But nevermind.

Some sample code on activating/deactivating a button is at

I have not studied how this relates to a User toolbar.

I have not studied how this relates to a User toolbar.

Not at all. This refers to a button on a user-defined dialog or a form control button attached to a document.
