Create icons on Ribbon
« on: September 01, 2020, 05:47:28 pm »
Hi.
I've followed the following tutorial for creating a stub for an addin for EA 15.2: https://bellekens.com/2011/01/29/tutorial-create-your-first-c-enterprise-architect-add-in-in-10-minutes/

I've explored the API of Interop.EA but I didn't find any way for creating items in a ribbon. What should I do in order to do that?

PS: This is the more modern way to create an add-in with C#? The tutorial is pretty old (2011), maybe there are better technologies today...

IIRC that menu question was raised even in pre-ribbon times. Send another feature request.

No, you (still) can't set the icon for your add-in ribbon button.

The basic method hasn't changed since 2011
The ribbon button is just the new representation of the old menu option.
