Topic: Adding a Tray Button

[snownut2]

I would like to add a button in the Tray at the bottom of the screen along side the "SNAP" "ORTHO" etc. buttons.  Is there a way to accomplish this?

I want to add a "FRAMES" button for toggling wipeout frames on & off. (The button needs to execute a lisp function that I have written)
 

Thanks

I am using this as a toggle, would like to add button to tray to activate.

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1.       (setq data (entget  (cdr (assoc 350 (member '(3 . "ACAD_WIPEOUT_VARS") (entget (namedobjdict))))))
2.             stat (if (= 0 (cdr (assoc  70 data)))1 0)
3.             txt  (if (= 0 stat) "off" "on")
4.             object (subst (cons 70 stat) (assoc 70 data) data)
5.             )
6.       (entmod object)
7.       (vl-cmdf  "regen")
8.       (princ (strcat "  <Wipe-Out Frames " txt ">"))
9.       (princ)
10.  
11.

I haven't tried this, but you should look at Owen's tool (R14-R2013; Bricscad 9 - 13).

Thanks Crank, I'll take a look at "Owen's Tool"

Just use DOSLib; it has a tray LispFuncion Method... Or you'll have to step up into .NET API

I just looked through DOSLib help file, could not find any reference to Tray Buttons,  any guidance where it may be.

Apologies - they provide a tray notification bubble, and not a tray button. Methinks that will require .NET/ObjectARX API.
