There are new
Ribbon components supported via the Ribbon API:
|
|
SplitButton - a
pulldown button with a default pushbutton attached
|
|
RadioGroup - a set
of ToggleButtons, where only one of the set can be active at a time
|
|
ComboBox - a
pulldown containing a set of selectable items, which can be grouped
optionally
|
|
TextBox - an input
field for users to enter text
|
|
SlideOut panel -
an extra panel can optionally slide down from a Ribbon panel; this panel can
contain any of the standard Ribbon components
|
|
For ComboBox and
TextBox, events are included; these events call your API code when the
component is changed by the user.
|
|
|
|
The new property:
|
|
RibbonItem.Visible : provides control over whether a
particular item is visible.
|
|
RibbonItem.LongDescription
|
|
RibbonItem.ToolTipImage
: allow you to set up an extended tooltip for the Ribbon item. This tooltip can display a longer set of
text, and/or a single image.
|
|
PushButton.AvailabilityClassName : allows assignment of an availability
class to controlled whether or not the button is available, similar to the
option provided for ExternalCommands registered by manifest.
|
|
|
|
There is also a
new option to add custom panels to the Analyze tab in Revit as well as the
Add-Ins tab, via a new enumeration overload of
Application.CreateRibbonPanel().
