Although it seems like you are making simple changes, this is a different level of customization you are making when you are building UI elements and application extensions. It just requires a restart of the application to take affect. This is essentially the same workflow you need to follow when building and testing .net add-ins as well.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Feb 2013 21:52:15 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcgis-python-addins-am-i-doing-this-right/m-p/475638#M37267 ChrisFox3 2013-02-20T21:52:15Z Re: ArcGIS Python Addins - Am I doing this right? https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcgis-python-addins-am-i-doing-this-right/m-p/475639#M37268 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>This should help: <A href="http://gis.stackexchange.com/a/67668/25417" title="http://gis.stackexchange.com/a/67668/25417">http://gis.stackexchange.com/a/67668/25417</A></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 14 Apr 2015 22:47:44 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcgis-python-addins-am-i-doing-this-right/m-p/475639#M37268 RichardLaw2 2015-04-14T22:47:44Z
