Arrange tools on Custom Ribbon

BrianBulla

Hi,

Just wondering what the best way would be to arrange tools on a Custom Ribbon. There doesn't seem to be a way for the end-user to do it through the ArcPro GUI, so does this have to be done through DAML code??

Here is what I currently have; one custom ribbon, divided into two groups. The first group (Map Tools) I'd like to arrange alphabetically in ASC order. The second group I would like to arrange in a specific order specified by the numbers in the pic.

For either group, tools will be added going forward, so I'd like the first group to remain alphabetic and then be able to squeeze tools into the right place for the second group as I create them.

I create each tool as a separate VS2015 project. The toolbar is it's own project. In each tool I create I have a DAML <dependancies> setup so that things get loaded onto the toolbar after the toolbar loads.

&nbsp; <SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN>dependencies<SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN>dependency name<SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"{9466cc69-3fce-4774-8134-d94377460abd}"</SPAN> <SPAN class="operator token">/</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">!</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">--</SPAN> id of <SPAN class="string token">"DSM_Toolbar_ArcPro"</SPAN> <SPAN class="operator token">--</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN>
&nbsp; <SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">/</SPAN>dependencies<SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Then I also have code to place each tool into the proper group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN>updateModule refID<SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"DSM_Toolbar_ArcPro_Module"</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN>groups<SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN>updateGroup refID<SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"Editing_Tools_group"</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN>insertButton refID<SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"ToFromTool_ArcPro_btnToFromTool"</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN><SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">/</SPAN>insertButton<SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">/</SPAN>updateGroup<SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">/</SPAN>groups<SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">/</SPAN>updateModule<SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

I'm stuck at trying to figure out how to get the buttons in the order I desire.

Thanks,

Hi Brian,

"insertButton" has properties to specify order :

<menus>

</updateMenu>

Things look to be really messed up now. If I remove all of my Add-Ins via the 'Add-In Manager' and also delete anything in my documents\ArcGIS\AddIns\ArcGISPro folder, ArcPro opens without anything....as expected.

But, then when i go to re-add everything again I still cannot get the Add-Ins to show up in ArcPro. Something permanent seems to have happened through the Options->Customize the Ribbon window that has messed things up.

Any advice on how to get things back??

BrianBulla

Hmmm.....ok. I have tried to order things using that window, but I just realized now how to actually do it. It's not very intuitive, but now that I think I have figured it out, it still isn't working.

So on the left are my tools, and on the right is the toolbar. I have organized them as desired on the right, but after clicking on OK, my toolbar is totally messed up with tools not even showing up anymore.

Each time I do it, I seem to get different results.

Are you aware of any issues with doing this??

Project->Options->Customize the Ribbon

Also....do you know if there is a way for the end user to sort buttons on a ribbon?? With ArcMap this was possible by just dragging/dropping when in 'Customize' mode.

Excellent....thanks!
