  • 1.  Adding buttons to a stack panel in the mini tool bar

    Posted 09-28-2017 13:42

    I've managed to add buttons to the mini toolbar using the RBNMapMTBAddControl

    I then wanted to add some to a stack panel, so I could then show or hide the complete panel rather than having to alter each button.

    But if the buttons are large then I can only see one button displayed although it hasn't given an error when 3 or more are added to that stack. If the buttons are small then 2 buttons shown.

    Presumably I can't use the stack panel similar to a group on the main ribbon tabs.

    As there are no longer floating toolbars the use of the mini toolbar for a number of customised buttons would be useful.

    thanks

    Found a work around, I've named the stack panels A1,A2,A3, B1,B2,B3 etc and add one button per panel. Then just loop round the number of panels to set the visibility, that way I don't need to know what button was actually added.

    I have only ever added small icons to the Map Mini Toolbar - never big icons.

    I have always seen the StackPanels as "Vertical Groups" and only ever added two controls to each.
