Creating a Custom Toolbar Button

KimBeckwell — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:06:16 GMT

Hi,

I've never done this before and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of learning how to do this.....I would like to create a custom toolbar button that I can add to my ArcMap.mxd that will run a select and prompt me for a parcel number, and after keying the number in it will zoom to the selected parcel.

I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

Kim

Do you want to do this with Python/geoprocessing or ArcObjects.

If you want to do it with Python/gp then simply create a script tool with a single parameter (parcel number). You can run the script tool from a toolbox or you can add a script tool to a custom toolbar.
