Python Addin Button onto existing c# addin toolbar

Hi,

I wanted to know if it is possible to add a python addin Button onto an existing addin toolbar programatically?

Thanks

You can add python addin Button as normal button to existing toolbar in ArcMap.

Get Your Toolbar using ESRI sample Code:

public ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework.ICommandBar GetToolbarByName(ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework.IApplication application, System.String toolbarName)
{
  ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework.ICommandBars commandBars = application.Document.CommandBars;
  ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.UID barID = new ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.UIDClass();
  barID.Value = toolbarName; // Example: "esriArcMapUI.StandardToolBar  or TestAddin__Custom_Toolbar"
  ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework.ICommandItem commandItem = commandBars.Find(barID, false, false);
  if (commandItem != null && commandItem.Type == ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework.esriCommandTypes.esriCmdTypeToolbar)
  {
    return (ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework.ICommandBar)commandItem;
  }
  else
    return null;
}

Then you get your Button By Its id and Add it to the toolbar:

ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework.ICommandBar myToolbar=GetToolbarByName(m_Application,"TestAddin__Custom_Toolbar");

                UID CommandUid = new UIDClass();
                //Get Your Button
                CommandUid.Value ="TestAddin_addin.button";
                //Add your command or button
                myToolbar.Add(CommandUid);

Thanks I already had tried that but it doesn't work for the custom python addin, maybe it is version issue, the toolbar is done using C# and targeted for minimum version 10 whereas the python addin had been done using version 10.2.

Thanks
