  • 1.  How do I call a standard MapInfo Menu ID using the RIBBONLIb?

    Here's another question I have seen a few times related to the RIBBONLib:

    I have managed to make my controls/buttons call custom procedures in my MapBasic application using the RBNControlSetCustomMBXHandlerIdx procedure from the RIBBONLib.

    But when I assign a standard menu ID to the control using the same procedure, nothing happens when I click the control in MapInfo Pro.

    How should I assign a standard MapInfo Pro menu ID to my control?

    The procedure RBNControlSetCustomMBXHandlerIdx can only be used to assign custom procedures to the controls.

    To assign a standard MapInfo Pro menu ID (also known as a CommandID) to your control, you should the RBNControlSetCmdIDIdx procedure:

    Call RBNControlSetCmdIDIdx(nCtrlIdx, M_FILE_OPEN)
